1991 Volkswagen Vanagon GL

If you missed last week’s awesome Westfalia that Nate wrote up, you missed a great example of the breed – as Nate put it, all you could ask for in a Vanagon. But if you don’t need the kitchen and awesomely cool pop-top, you can save a bunch of money and still have the Vanagon experience. Granted, you could argue that a large part of the appeal of the Vanagon is those camper Westfalias, but there’s a neat simplicity about the non-camper version. Today there is a stunningly clean version of the regular Vanagon GL on Ebay:

We purchased this all original 1991 Volkswagen Vanagon GL from the original owners estate, they took exceptional care of it. This super exceptional and un-restored original is a great example of just how nice a Volkswagen Van can be with a history of proper care, maintenance, and being garaged. It displays beautifully for being 23-years-young and being garaged since new. No oil leaks, or funny stories. It’s extremely dry with no cancer, the undercarriage will surprise you with how clean and dry it is. This van draws a lot of respect from knowledgeable enthusiasts. Be prepared to get tons of compliments, waves, and many smiles when taking it out. It runs and drives great.

Please check the Carfax report / Autocheck report as it has the HIGHEST possible scoring. It has a beautiful exterior and original complete interior with all 3 rows of seats. It’s a 7 passenger van, It has power windows, power mirrors, cruise control, power steering, front air conditioning and rear air conditioning (will need charging) original factory AM-FM cassette player with upgraded Kenwood speakers, folding rear seat that could be used for camping, and more! The number of nice survivors is very low in this condition. Without question, it is certain to be a standout in any serious collector’s stable or your family.

It just had a complete $500 servicing performed by a certified retired Volkswagen mechanic including a Complete tuneup, fresh fluids throughout, new wiper blades, etc, Its ready to cruise into its new chapter in life and create memories with your friends and loved ones. It just passed California emissions a few weeks ago with flying colors. The technician said its one of the nicest he has ever seen.

Please remember this is not a restored Vanagon; it has some minor dings, scratches, and minor paint touchups over the years, which is common for being 23 years-old. Those who have been looking know how impossible it is to find a Vanagon in this condition. Don’t miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to own this one.

While it may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that this is the cleanest example in the world, it certainly presents better than easily 90-95% of the examples that we come across. Miles are reasonably low at around 100,000, the color combination is right, it’s got the right Carat alloys and late-run body kit, my favorite headlights, and it’s extremely clean. There’s even recent maintenance to go along with the overall condition. Downside? It’s an automatic, and despite the high price it won’t ever be quite as cool as the Westfalias. So do you buy a bad Westy or a really good Vanagon? Well, that’s ultimately up to you – but I think I’d rather drive a clean example around like this for a bit, saving for the best Westfalia that I could afford, rather than trying to go through a bad example. For example, despite condition that is easily as nice as Nate’s, the price currently on this GL is only a third of that Westfalia. If you’re looking for a GL, this is about as nice as they get!
