Background Story of this 1988 Volkswagen Vanagon

Overview of 1988 Volkswagen Vanagon For Sale by Owner

The Volkswagen Type 2 microbus, camper, Westfalia, kombi, or simply bus, is an iconic passenger carrier. Made from 1979 right up until 2002, its friendly face and distinctive air-cooled engine note make it instantly recognizable. Widely considered as a Beetle for those with more people to carry, the Type 2 also makes for an excellent camper conversion. This 1988 Volkswagen Vanagon Camper is one such example. Built from a Volkswagen Westfalia GL variant, it’s living proof that you don’t need a massive, multi-axle behemoth to go camping across America’s beautiful landscape. Instead, you can take this compact vehicle and enjoy ample creature comforts. With a healthy 114,000 miles on the clock, it’s got plenty more to give.

Exterior and Interior

This 1988 Volkswagen Vanagon Camper is painted gray, because you don’t want it to stick out like a sore thumb when parked in a forest, for example. You want to be at one with nature, not clash with it. The vehicle sports halogen headlamps for better night-time visibility when driving in areas with no street lighting. It rolls on a set of 16-inch alloy wheels that are clearly an iconic Mercedes-Benz design, and look great on it. Take a closer look at the van’s side profile, and you’ll notice the new canvas top and roof-mounted pop-up tent as well. The interior of this 1988 Volkswagen Vanagon Camper features fully functional air conditioning, a stove, a refrigerator, power sockets, comfortable seats that can convert into a sleeping surface, storage cabinets, and a sink. Up front, you’ll find an equally comfortable driver’s cab with seating for two, the controls for the air conditioning system, and a JVC head unit for music. With a CD player, AUX input and USB port, you won’t find yourself lacking in choice of media.

Engine

This 1988 Volkswagen Vanagon Camper uses a 2.1-liter flat-four engine to power the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual gearbox. The van comes with front and rear disc brakes for excellent stopping power. Moreover, it’s received Koni shock absorbers for better ride and handling characteristics. So, it’s ready to rock and roll. All that remains is for you to chart a course – or just wing it.

Do you love camping, but prefer to take your home with you? Yes, we know that sounds like a turtle but the automotive equivalent is a camper. You can find campers that can be towed behind your regular vehicle, as well as those which can be driven in their own right. They can even stretch into the length and width of a full-grown bus, and offer you a five-star hotel-esque experience (minus the staff, unless you’ve got those as well). But what if you want something a bit more compact? Something easy to drive and park, something that won’t break the bank, something that won’t be a pain to turn around in case you need to? In that case, this 1989 Volkswagen Vanagon Camper from Lakewood is an ideal candidate. Based on the hugely popular Volkswagen T2 Transporter series, it’s no surprise that it makes for an excellent camper. You’ve got plenty of conveniences and features that you wouldn’t expect to fit in a vehicle of this size. Plus, its 215,255 miles show that it’s quite an enjoyable thing to behold! If you find the mileage daunting, don’t. These vehicles are built to last decades, and they’re superbly easy to repair and maintain too – you’ll be amazed at how little is taken from your wallet!

PENDING SALE
$20,999

The Volkswagen Beetle is one of those machines whose production numbers are not in the thousands but in the 6-digit range. While it has a long production run across multiple formats, finding a clean example has become more challenging. With clean examples tucked away in collections and most falling prey to age and the aftermarket scene, finding a clean, factory example is a dream for many who want to explore the world of classic Volkswagen charm. Present today is now considered a rare bird and looks like this 1972 Volkswagen Beetle. This clean example is reported to have just 135,000 miles on it over its 50+ year life. Better yet, this machine is also reported to have been garaged or under a carport its entire life to maintain its clean looks. The fun doesn't stop there for those seeking originality; the machines' maintenance is also reported to preserve their original specifications. Included in the sale are a tow bar and lights connector in excellent condition, along with the original owner's manual.
