1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Wolfsburg Edition on 2040-cars

1987 VW Vanagon Wolfsburg edition

Manual transmission

Approximately 150,000 miles 

Clean title.   Registered until April 2015.   

Please read online about the Wolfsburg edition as it has many options that the more basic models don’t have- including most noticeably a folding table, rear facing jump seats, power front windows and power mirrors.   The bed folds out in the back and will sleep three adults – it’s wider than the Westfalia’s I’m told since the Westy’s have the side portion with the sink, stove, storage etc taking up some width.   

I just bought it recently – several months ago.   I had planned to get it in great shape but school loans and other financial challenges have led me to sell it.   It runs excellent and the transmission shifts great.   I bought it from a very nice older guy in Costa Mesa who owns a shop fixing older German cars.   

Things I’ve bought already:

Bluetooth stereo head unit - $125 from Crutchfield – installed and works great – I use my iphone wirelessly with it.  

Front & Rear bumpers and kit - $270 from GoWesty – my friend who’s a mechanic swapped the old ones out as they were in bad shape.   

Brand New tires from Lucky Tires - $360 – these are the ones with the very strong side walls that are supposed to be used for vanagons. 

Four speakers – two installed in rear, two for doors (not installed yet/will include in sell).

Things it needs to be in great shape:

The left front power window is not working – needs to be fixed.

The rear lights including brake light/s are not working – I didn’t realize this until recently as I rarely drove it at night.    The turn signals in the front and rear DO work.   The headlights work. 

The air conditioning and heat iare not currently working  - my friend who’s a mechanic said it may just need a charge but he didn’t have time to check for sure.   The knobs and levers for the AC and heat are not installed - needs new ones- see photo.  

Body work and paint job.   There are some small rust spots – please see pictures.   And there are some dents – most are minor and not very big – except the front left of the van – see pics for all of them.   The paint is in bad shape and needs to be completely done over.    My friend estimated that the body work and paint will likely cost $1500.  

There may be other minor things in the interior that need replacing or fixing.   Please look at all the photos to see the condition inside and out.   The interior lights work - see photos - the one behind the sliding door comes on when open.  The longer horizontal one on the opposite side above the table works when turned on.  

I’m not a mechanic or expert on vanagons but email me with any questions and I’ll do my best to answer.    This is a solid running Wolfsburg that can be driven as-is and can be amazing if you take care of the body and paint.   My reserve is very low.  If you're not local, you pay any shipping fees.

I am out of town for  the July 4th weekend and cannot show it to locals then.
