Subject: Fwd: Buying a Van - Parts in L.A.

Well, I've got the van - already fixed a few little things, but I
need some parts.� The top hits of a google search and mention here
shows some internet sources:

Go Westy
BusDepot
Van Cafe
Van Again

I live in L.A. so I was wondering if there were any recommendations
in this area.� I did find one used parts place 1 1/2 miles from me:

Interstate Auto Dismantlers

Last question - does VW still make parts for these cars?� I get the
impression that they do, though I expect they are expensive.� Does VW
still service these cars - once more, I'm willing to do most
everything myself, but in a pinch could I stop at a VW dealership and
get the thing repaired or get parts?

Thanks,
