1984 Vanagon Mechanichally Refurbished   Price: 23,000
'84 Vanagon,

70,000 miles. My new title lists as unknown due to a discrepancy from work performed by the previous owner, but I do have a repair receipt from 2020 that shows 65,369

Virtually rust free, low mileage, mechanically updated in every possible way (really). We refurbished this bus to be a cross country traveler (we do 2-3 round trips to the West Coast each year). Lack of A/C and winter storage have convinced us to let it go. All the work below was done with German or nearest equivalent parts. Labor was done at Zakira's Garage, and Vogt VW (Brian Vogt) in Cincinnati. We addressed a couple small dents, but have cosmetically kept it as original as possible.

Heater and vents all work. Lights, blinkers work. Wipers front and rear work. Radio and 12V outlet on dash work. Rear fold down seat is not original. Previous owner did interior with sound barrier, insulation, birch paneling, and new carpet kit and swivel passenger seat. He also did the glass and runner seals all around.

The work below represents over $30,000, so please no low-ballers. This van is as ready as we could possibly make it for daily and distance travel. We may have it in San Diego by the Fall, possibly Spring, so mileage will increase, and it may be closer to you in any event.

Zachira'a Garage:

-initial inspection
-tie rods assemblies and steering rod boot
-brake drums and shoe set
-brake discs, rotors, and calipers w/brake hardware kit and hydraulic hose
-front wheel bearing kit, inside and outside
-Bilstein shock absorbers front and rear
-Hankook Vantra LE tires and alignment

Vogt Auto:

Initial inspection showed blow by in the cylinders so:
-Piston and cylinder kit (Mahle) 2.0L
-bearings main, rod, cam (Kolbenschmidt)
-head gasket (Victor Reinz)
-push rod tubes
-oil pump (Shilke)
-injectors and seal kits (German)
-air intake boot, intake manifold sleeve, crankcase ventilation hose
-distributor rotor, cap, ignition wire set
-fuel pump (Bosch)
-fuel lines (German)
-fuel tank cleaned, reconditioned, and painted
-fuel tank seal kit
-throttle cable
-clutch kit (Luk) fly wheel (turn), clutch hose
-catalytic converter (German)
-water pump (Graf)
-hoses, all coolant and heater (German)
-stainless coolant pipes
-bushings, ball joints, radius arm, etc. (German)
-shifter bushing, ball, rubber boot
-heater/vent temp cable, valve, cable clip, levers
-minor body work (left front lower near door/step, and right rear quarter next to tail light), prep, chemically kill rust
-service inverter setup

As I said, this van was made ready for daily driving and distance travel. It's as powerful and smooth as any VW I have ever driven. Please contact me with any questions.
