Fred sed:
"Unreliable?  How can you say this?  Most of all the wasserboxers
machines I have seen all have big miles to them."

I'm with 'Fred' on this one.  I was elated when my 73 Maverick rolled
100,000 miles.  It then promptly died of rust-out (only 12 years old!).
Other cars died with less miles, some a few more.  But my Vanagon
has 270,000 miles on it, it's 18 years old, and still a great vehicle.
My primary vehicle, too.

The upholstery is still in good shape also, with no glue stains.
