I quote

Who are the Vanagon experts here?

I'm aware of some of the problems with the Wasserboxers, but I would like to
hear from any experts.

I don't need a Syncro or Westy. Luckie and I just need a practical vehicle
that's bigger than our 914s.

The Scirocco and GTI are going up for sale.

Thanks.

I am a mechanic at a VW dealership, TRUST ME. you do not want a vanagon, we
will not even take them in to work on!! I heartily recommend either buying
an asian or domestic van, or holding out until "Project M"- our new minivan
arrives next year as a 2008.
