What's age got to do with it?

Mine's 22 years old- but the motor is a '95 (Golf 2.0) .

Maintenance intensive? Have you ever owned a Beetle or Bus?

If you still have that durn fool WBX then no wonder. I guess for some
replacing head gaskets could be considered maintenance.

Marco? Looks like a Aerostar.
Cook? Looks  like eitheran ambulance or a delivery van.Yuk.

Why do I like my Vanagon Westfalia and no other? Because of it's unique
styling that has not been replicated since.

I've reconditioned my '82 interior and mechanically, it's good as new minus
the airbags and ABS to me.

I guess perfection for me would be a '91 Westfalia wirth under 1,000
original miles.

I don't think they will like me on the Marco and Cook lists.

1982 Westfalia

Volks,
Didn't intend to resurrect the Sprinter thread. Yes, I've already looked at
the
various camper conversions such as the Airstream, but they all lack the
versatility of
the VW Vanagon Westfalia. It fits in the garage, hauls people, hauls cargo
and is a
camper, fun to drive and ready to go. But they are getting old (actually, in
the same
parking lot where I saw the small Sprinter, someone asked me if my '90 Westy
was brand
new. It does look like it.) and maintenance intensive.
So, continuing to dream and surf the net, I came across the new M-B Viano
Marco Polo,
replacement, I guess, for the Vito Marco Polo. Mercedes van and Westfalia
conversion.
Seat folds into the bed electrically and cushions inflate to smooth it out,
optional
electric sliding roof in the popup top, etc. See it here, but it's a
bandwidth-intensive site:
