Good deals on Nice Vans

This seems like a good deal to me. Suby swapped for 14k. What am I missing? That it's not a Westy, and not a Syncro?

Can't believe this is still available after 12 weeks. If I planned to replace my squashed Westy I'd buy this.

*edit*

The main thing keeping me away is knowing I'd have to modify my garage door to get inside; plenty of interior height but a 7' high opening.

This one could have potential. All I know is the ad.

This Van is something else you guys. I've known this Van since Dan imported it.

It is absolutely one of a kind, there is nothing like this thing anywhere else on earth. The price is what it is, but make no mistake it could be twice that and you'd find it hard to argue about.

Don't know what else to say, if you're "in the market" for something like this and your budget is even remotely close..THIS IS IT.

Seems like a solid deal for a good looking Bostig Westy. Needs paint. No relation

1985 Bostig Westy Weekender $10K - Danville IL

1985 Bostig Westy Weekender $10K - Danville IL

About this vehicle
- Driven 237,000 miles
- Manual transmission
- Exterior color: Blue · Interior color: Tan
- Fuel type: Gasoline

Seller's description
1985 Vanagon Westy Weekender. 237,XXX miles. However, it has a Bostig engine conversion with a 2001 ish 2.0 Zetec with around 70k miles according to previous owner. There is an Ultragauge for keeping an eye on the engine. Runs great. No concerns with taking it a road trip as long as you aren't in a hurry. It maxes out at about 65 mph. Averages 20 to 21 mpg.

Clean title. 2WD. Manual transmission. Recent clutch, alternator, fuel pump and sending unit, power steering reservoir and lines, starter, CV axles, coil, spark plugs and wires.
Good tires.
Has dual batteries, and a Fiamma awning. Also comes with a box full of the original curtains.
Interior has no odors or smells.
Bench seat folds down into a bed, with another bed in the pop-top.

Though not urgent, it needs the following: paint work as the clearcoat is coming off, a new windshield, a couple rust spots under windows and it has a few areas starting to show some seam rust. Probably needs an exhaust update before it would pass an emissions inspection. The batteries die if it isn't driven for a couple weeks and we haven't been able to figure it out. Would be worth quite a bit more once all this is fixed.

We enjoyed travelling all over the west in this van and will miss it, but we are ready to let the next person take it on more adventures and fix it when it breaks

No trades, won't accept offers under asking price, cash only, and would prefer to sell to someone mechanically inclined (or willing to learn) as it is 40 years old so there are occasional issues!

When I first found this listing, the low mileage had me thinking it was a really nice van, a time capsule sort of find.

https://www.classicautomall.com/vehicles/7654/1991-volkswagen-vanagon-westfalia-camper

But then going through the photos, it just gets worse and worse. The undercarriage is all rusted to hell, and there's weird body damage.

But on the other hand, the cockpit area looks absolutely pristine.

What's going on with this one?

Undercarriage looks fine, other parts of the chassis have major cancer. Looks like it was bought and forgot in someones seaside Florida home.

The sloppy undercoating spray is probably hiding more of the ugly.
The seat belt end is rusting along with the under seat hardware and steering column hardware is severely rusty. That is hard to do and I live by the ocean
I would NOT call that a nice van, I feel bad for the unsuspecting buyer that gets it.

[dhaavers]

Flood victim? That random rust coming through the floor panels is wild…

Decent deal here on Cape Cod. Honestly, if I didn't just buy an Alltrack today I would be making some serious inquiries. Cool to see some presumably decent sub $7000 Westys around.

Looking for a nice aircooled? For sale in Santa Fe:

includes an ARB awning never installed, and a new Westy top. Guy says it runs really good. Some rust behind the kitchen, he says. No body rust, it's a New Mexico van.

First-time buyer here, trying to compensate for limited local availability in SW Ohio by searching far and wide. Are there any sites I am missing?

TheSamba Classifieds (of course)
FB Marketplace
Craigslist
Used car dealer aggregator sites like autotrader, cars.com
eBay

I am on the lookout for a 1985-1990 Westy, either full camper or weekender FWIW

Looks like a nice starting point. Probably over priced, but I like the idea that it looks like its been boxed in a garage for a while!
