Used Volkswagen Vanagon for Sale

I loved my Vanagon Camper. It came to me as a graduation gift in really good-seeming shape. It had previously sat in a storage unit for most of its lifetime, was bought by a German man and shipped to the West coast, tuned up and sold to me. It worked great... at first. Then the water pump went out. And the odometer stopped working. I replaced the pump to have it break again. My mechanics replaced it again, free of charge. I was later to learn that This is the first year of the water cooled Vanagons. I camped in it often the first year and lived it for the last 2 years I owned it. Those last two years it was broken beyond repair. In fact, I towed it 300 miles when I moved north because I loved living in it. She was a great home and a terrible car. She always did get you to the mechanic though when she started breaking down.

I absolutely love this vehicle. I read about them when I was younger and when I became of age, I purchased one. I love the homey features such as the pull out table, refrigerator, stove and other amenities. My only complaint would be it tends to overheat in hotter parts of the country.

If you ever see a Volkswagen camper for sale and you enjoy camping or having a rare and beautiful example of German engineering - jump on it ! These vans are well engineered, and are an absolutely blast. The space is very well thought out, and while mine did not have the pop up roof I still thought it was spacious and a joy to own. If you can find one with a pop up roof - absolutely buy it.
