hello folks,

i am the previous owner of 1975 and 1978 westys...i am in the market
for a really nice late 80s, early 90s syncro westy. can anyone point
me in the right direction for: value...estimated price, things to look
out for, retailers to avoid, model problems, etc. my knowledge base is
all in the aircooled world.

i wouldn't say that money is no object, however, i am looking for a
vehicle that will lead me on many a long adventure and stay in my
possession until the keys are pulled from my cold dead hand.

thanks in advance!
missy

There's a vanagon newsgroup. Try there. But having owned a clean 84 vanagon
gl I can tell you there's no such vanagon meeting your desires. The syncros
have a expensive clutch in the center of the car that can cause much grief.
Also the waterboxer has a reputation of leaky and bad cylinder heads. The
transmissions have a gear that is prone to cracking. The Vanagon Westy is a
marvel of space usage but the platorm is way past it's prime and was not too
good when new. The subaru flat 6 seems to work well in vanagons.
