Hmmm, looks clean but it has been "remodeled" and has 215K miles on it.

This is a pretty clean looking AW, 1987, and it isn't selling at $6600.....

There's an aircooled '82 AW here in 23221 and I've been told the
price is
"$4000 and not a penny less," but it is presumably road-ready and
complete,
also dentless and rustless.  If you can get a hint of the interest in the
vehicle that might affect your bid.  Depends on how bad you want it, I
reckon.

dear new Adventure Wagoner ...

good find ... well done ..

if your vehicle has been sitting for a long time

you  may need to do a couple of things ...'

New tires ... even if they look good to the eye ...

the stress of sitting in one place for a long time then being asked to go

round and round is likely too much of a hardship -

the brakes may have separated asbestos from metal ...

and seals may have let go that have not been flexed and used in the last

however long

i will be facing all this with my 89 lebaron when i put it on the road this

summer after a two year + in storage

(under a car cover)

lots of mold to clean up ..etc ...

any way
 ... glad to see you have found the sleeping VW-AW

yours

I have just looked at an 84 adventure wagon. It has 39,000 miles and body is

perfect, no rust no dents except 2 small dents. Paint is 2 tone faded but

with wax should be great. it looks like it has been sitting a long time. It

is part of an estate sale. Battery is dead and the sale person wouldn't let

me jump it. She did let me hook up a charger and I can come back tomorrow.

my question is what is the value of the adventure wagons, I see the layout

of this one is very different than the standard westfalias I have seen. What

is the history on these and what are they worth. I like tha hard top with

all the windows and big skylight. What should I be looking at before buying?

Picking up garbage and
