I posted  last week, looking for a new home for my vanagon.  It’s become 
more  urgent that I find a place for him.  Emissions and inspections are due 
in  August in order to renew registration, which is necessary to keep it on 
the  street in my area.  So if it’s registered, it also has to be  insured.  
I no longer feel like we can afford to put more money / time in  keeping him 
in running order.  If you are the slightest bit interested in  adding this 
guy to your fleet, come take a look and make me an offer.   I’m thinking I’
d like to get 1,000.00 for him, but am certainly more than  willing to 
entertain any offers.  Here’s my original post  below.

We’ve had this vanagon since 97 when we purchased it from the  original 
owner. My husband has been using it as a daily driver until about 3  weeks ago 
when it began to knock. 

In his words: “I was caught in stop  and go traffic with no place to pull 
over when the oil light came on. It was  on for about 4 minutes before I 
could get off the road. I let it cool off and  added 1.5 quarts of oil and towed 
to shop. Once arrived at shop, I had to  start it to back it off of the 
flatbed. No oil light came on and the engine  sounded fine. I drove it home 
(about 1.5 miles). No issues, so drove to  Fredericksburg and car started to 
knock. Added a quart of oil and the van made  it home, but with a bad knock.”

The van hasn’t been driven since that  day. I don’t know what the van 
needs done other than to have this issue  solved, but I would like any input on 
this particular issue. I’d also like to  know if anyone on the list would be 
interested in purchasing it for a project  van. It’s the model with the 
rear facing theatre seats, the z bed and the  rubber flooring throughout. I’m 
really flexible on price, so if you’re at all  interested, shoot me an email 
and come on over and see it. One thing I do know  is that the odometer 
stopped working at 175,000 miles and that was a couple of  months ago.

Thanks,
Karen
