Official whine about Vanagon vans and parts for sale

[RainierSyncro]

Vanagon alloy wheels for $20 a pop. Wow, I remember paying $600 for a set of four 20 years ago for my GL.

$50k for a tintop Syncro? I might have to consider selling mine at these prices.

Nothing he mentioned makes it a 50k syncro. Gauges dont work and he doesnt even seem familiar with what was done to the van besides what was told to him.

No engine conversion, no info about a rebuild, and gauges dont work.

Did the paint shop paint over the windshield nozzles? Is that paint on the weather stripping? Looks like the seal around the windshield and hatch glass shrank possible rust under the windshield seam?

I like high value syncros setting the bar. But if this $50k then mine is $1 bajillion. But like the seller said. He doesn't need to sell and probably doesn't want to.

Wow, it has new stickers.

For those of you who want to spend the not-insignificant time and effort to remove your old pop top canvas to replace it with a used one (advertised as dirty and with a hole), here is a great deal for you.

https://denver.craigslist.org/pts/d/original-grey-vw-vanagon/6616458408.html

Only $145.

This Craigslist user has been reposting weekly this old rag for months.

If the owner is reading this, I'll paypal you $20 to throw it away and stop setting off my Craigslist alert.

For only the 1/3 of the price of a brand new one! One mans garbage is everyone else's garbage.

[campism]

Imagine how much more he could get for it if he'd patch that one hole. Wait, is that a second hole I spy below the first one?

A dreamer

Only a fool would buy that
Can't even be bothered to fix the tacho.

How many other things can't he be bothered to fix.

for 50k I would expect 2 in that condition but original paint not Refrigerator white

and no quick black shutz cover up on the rusty front bumper seam!

[blaze80]

For those of you that are thinking luxury for your Vanagon.... it says it's a converter so I am assuming it changes your vanagon to another brand of fine luxury autos?
