I earlier stated that the dark gray wolfsburg vanagons are easily the prettiest vanagons that VW ever made. Combined with a very flexible interior layout, and the biggest bed, and what I consider good road handling manners, I hope you get your asking for the van, it's seems like it should find a lucky buyer. You should... have web pages with full photos, of each section.. interior, ext. , electronics, engines... Maybe a timeline list of the new stuff, and repairs? and a youtube video... My buyer actually drove from VA, and felt comfortable driving back in the van... based on my report and the video... Unfortunately the clutch broke less than a few miles away, I refunded his $, fixed it, and he picked it up (again) today, again VA to NY and back. I sold it the same day I posted my pictures and video.
