I've recently put my wife's westfalia  into semi retirement. It remains insured for trips but won't see daily duty.  I bought a nissan multi, it seems to have many of the vanagon features, in a compact fuel miser . Sliding door(dual), tall ride, boxy styling, a very well thought out vehicle. If you're thinking of a third vehicle, this car would help with the vanagon withdrawals.  So far I have hauled a sofa to the dump, trucked home a few loads of soil and ran many an errant.  I'm very pleased and would recommend to others. That being said I have to say parts are a bit scarce and require some skill in acquiring, but that's the norm right?
