Hey Michael..
I just got my 84 Westy this year. It's my first vw bus and I love it.
I've had plenty of problems...and they're not a cheap vehicle..
If you're getting a vanagon cause you think they're inexpensive and
thrifty...they ain't!


They need constant attention and get lousy gas mileage.


But I adore mine and couldn't imagine getting rid of it, save perhaps to trade
it for another one some day.


I wouldn't suggest having a vanagon be your sole transport though... at least
not if you do lots of driving like we do here in L.A.


It's kinda like having a horse.
In fact, it's a lot like having a horse!


Good luck!
