'89 Westfalia pop-top camper, great shape, needs a good home. One-owner vehicle, well cared for, have all original documents and repair records since new. Excellent running condition. 103k mostly-highway miles. Interior is virtually perfect. Perfect canvas. Stove, fridge, etc. all work fine. 4-speed, power steering/brakes, A/C, power mirrors, factory cruise control(works great!), Pioneer/Polk Audio detachable-face CD sound system. Body not perfect, but very good. Slight dent on right rear wheel well lip (surface rust on the dent), also a minor dent (w/surface rust) on the little metal apron under the rear bumper. A couple of small scratches here and there, but nothing major. Generally looks very nice. White. No rust-through, not even at the seams where many Vanagons seem to rust. Has the typical Vanagon flaws (i.e. high setting on front heater blower doesn't work, speedo needle chatters a bit below 50mph, and there's a crack, but no apparant leak, in the roof vent), but the important stuff's all good. Temp guage never gets above half way even after extended idling, steering rack is good, shifts great, new exhaust, new tires, etc. The only thing I can find that it seems to need mechanically is a front-end alignment (pulls just slightly to the right). This is not my daily driver (unfortunately). I got a good deal on it, and jumped on it, hoping to keep it and sell my '85, but figuring that at the very least I could easily resell it. I just returned from a 10-hour trip in it. Believe me when I tell you that I wish I could keep it. It drives much nicer than my '85 - like a newer van, which it is. But other things just aren't working out, and I can't afford to keep it. (I still haven't given up on updating from my '85, though. I'm hopefully getting another '89 for myself; it's in nowhere near as good condition as this one, but realistically more in my price range. Oh well...maybe someday I'll work up to the late model Syncro Westy I really want!) Anyway, I'm asking $12,500 for it. Judging from some of the Westies I've seen posted, and this one's condition, it's probably worth more than that, but I can't afford to sit on both this and my '85. I'm in the Phila./Allentown Pa. area. Email me or call (610) 754-8989 if interested. Thanks, Ron Salmon
