Let me know if y’all see any around the Southwest (located in Santa Fe). Trying to get my hands on one but every time I reach people usually don’t follow up.

Hi-
I found a 2003 EuroVan GLS for $8995 with about 175,000 on it. The timing belt has been changed but the transmission is original.
Seems like a good deal and I’ve been looking for a van for a long time- vanagon or EuroVan.
I’m afraid to jump in because don’t want to have to replace the transmission!
Also- just how long will these engines run with good tlc?
Here’s to wanting one and being afraid to pull the trigger-
Thanks-
Jon |

Pretty sure you have a V6 with a timing chain in that van.
I just bought a 2003 Eurovan MV for $9K with 188K miles on it. Transmission was low on fluid due to oil cooler leak. I just installed the aftermarket dipstick added a quart of fluid and it shifts fine. I plan on changing fluid, filter, shift solenoids and installing a larger transmission oil cooler in front of the radiator. Easy for me because I own a repair shop. Trans seems to shift ok.
Get a shop to do a pre-purchase inspection. Have them drain a bit of trans fluid. The color and smell will tell the story. |

Thanks- that’s helpful.
Does the MV you bought have the pop top? If so, I need to keep
Looking because the one I’m looking at is a tin top! |

Spotted these two at a car lot on U.S.17 near Bealeton VA.
Blue '01 MV for about $12K and a red '00 pax for $4K. |
 It was a deal. Blue '01 MV WE sold Thursday Oct 8 for $9k. 130k miles, one owner, no mechanical problems. I was too late. |

Not mine, I drove 6 hours to take a look at it the other day. His description is not quite clear enough on condition. I will say, mechanically really good, quiet engine, new transmission, brakes, AC, battery, tires plus a bunch of other receipts. Cosmetically it is definitely challenged. Dents, faded paint, sagging headliner, dirty inside (he's a woodworker), missing weather-stripping among a few million other things. I passed since I couldn't get past the cosmetics. He is hot to sell so I think it could be had for a few grand less.

The van actually belongs to a family I used to work for, they reached out to me because they knew I was a VW guy.
I’ve been looking for late Vanagons for travel, and though the Eurovan doesn’t look as cool, the modernization makes it extremely appealing.

Having owned and driven every Bus except a BarnDoor, the T4 is by far the best.

'94 Canadian Westfalia in Boulder, CO. $23.5k maybe a bit high, but the Canadian Westy looks like a nice traveling setup. https://boulder.craigslist.org/cto/d/lyons-1994-vw-eurovan-cv-westfalia/7267229555.html

I like that layout, and it may be a little high since you'll spent a grand or more on tires and AC. There was one in Texas last Spring with an asking price of $8K with lower miles.

11k for a Westie which needs timing chain, great find for those who can wrench and not just bolt on.
