Used Volkswagen Vanagon for Sale near Honolulu, HI

I like it a lot! The Subaru SOHC 16V non-interference engine is bullet proof and matches up to the Vanagon 4 Spd perfectly. If you like, you can drive in 3rd gear at 70 mph. Cruising at 90 mph at sea level is comfortable.

With the conversion to a Subaru engine the performance makes it drive like a new vehicle. Strong and quiet. All the camping gear is in good order including the fridge. It is great for camping and has a small carbon footprint for an RV.

I loved camping in the Van. Great family memories. Fun to drive, fun to vacation with. It's a lifestyle. Westfalia enthusiasts befriend other Westy fans, and those wh have never seen one before, are amazed. I wish we could keep this van forever.

I have owned many, many vw's and this is the best one I have owned by far. Build quality is good for a vw. They got a lot of plastic in em. This is not the van to have if you want to just get in it and drive. They always need work. I am a mechanic so it is no big deal.

M-y beautiful Vanagon. I had always wanted a vanagon. (these are the best years to get 1986-1991) Mine was a 91Carat. It was alpine white, automatic, deluxe model (carat package) I bought it sight unseen from the original owner for $4,000.00 ( a wonderful deal) this van was in mint condition except the engine needed a rebuild. When I went to pick it up in Edmonds, I started it up and the thing came alive. It sounded like a mac truck. It was smoking live a chimney and all i could smell was coolant! I was nervous to drive it home the 25 or so minute drive on the freeway. But i made it home and I tore the original 2.1 water boxer out and rebuilt it but made it bigger ofcourse, the 2.1 automatic is way underpowered. I made it into a 2.3L. The power increase was slightly noticeable on the freeway but that is about it. I eventually sold it for almost 3X what I paid for it. I miss it a lot.
