The iconic camper style meets with a ton more modern convenience in this 1986 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia. So while you'll like the distinction and usefulness, you'll love that it's all offered for an affordable price. The versatile forward-control style and squared-off "bread van" style make this instantly reminiscent of the classic VW Bus. That's because the Vanagon is the more powerful, larger, and nimbler successor. The pastel white with black trim has a crisp and classic look. As... you look into the details, you'll discover that kind of investments that keep this classic a practical choice. In fact, the important Westfalia roof even has newer seals. Inside, the driver gets all the right comforts with high-back bucket seat re-upholstered in a plush tan cloth. It has good bolstering and armrests to make sure it's long-haul comfortable. Plus, there's a large steering wheel, a gearshift within easy reach, and a nice upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo for entertainment (and the USB will even charge a modern phone.) But the true luxuries are all behind this. Built-in cabinets, a fold-up table, and a fold-flat bed all mean you can take home with you in a compact and well-organized package. Also, as a true Westfalia, it has the iconic pop-up roof for comfortable camping, and it's in great condition. Besides being larger than a VW Bus, the Vanagon is also desirable for its drivetrain package. The motor is a more powerful 2.1-liter flat-four. This fuel-injected powerplant will still not win any drag races, but the Vanagon has much more going for it. The motor is mounted low in the body for a low center of gravity, and the weight near the rear driving wheels delivers a similar power/traction advantages of the original Beetle. There's also a fully independent suspension and the control of a four-speed manual transmission. So if you've never driven one before, you're going to be surprised at how lively this VW feels on the road. Add in power steering and power brakes w/discs up front, and this is quite a nice total driving package for the long haul. This is the VW camper that delivers the classic look you love but with extra space, convenience, and usefulness. Better adventures await you, but only if you call today!
