I'm selling a 95% restored 1986 Vanagon Weekender Wolfsburg for $28,500
It has a custom interior...
The panels are custom painted, there's a bamboo hardwood floor, led lighting, custom upholstery including curtains and throw pillows, and both front seats swivel. Also inside are an auxiliary battery, inverter, and edgestar 43 quart refrigerator that are powered by the rooftop solar or the alternator.
Mechanically...
the van is great and I just had a rebuilt with 0 miles 2.2l Subaru engine installed by California Westys for over $15k, which also included stainless cooling lines, a new radiator, new starter, new exhaust, and new alternator. I knew I'd lose money on this conversion when immediately selling but the rest of the van is so nice I wanted the engine to be awesome as well and have the new buyer be happy! This setup is California compliant so you may register the van here (currently a Florida plate) and the engine also comes with a 20,000 mile 2 year WARRANTY. Additionally, the van has gowesty wheels, michelin defender tires with only 4,000 miles on them, and just generally doesn't cause any stress/issues, I find if you put care into these great vans they love you back and are reliable and fun. 126k on the odometer, but I'm not sure how accurate or important that is as many things have been replaced/restored.
Negatives:
The paint job was done by a prior owner and has some drips/mistakes and a touch of surface rust is appearing on the seams along the bottom 18 inches (what I call the skirt?) but it's very light and i did some resealing already.
Reason for Selling: Most of the travel I'm wanting to do the next couple of years is overseas and for what I want to do it makes more sense to backpack than drive around the world.
