Volkswagen’s popular Type 2 microbus is the third generation of the Volkswagen Transporter series. Running between 1979 and 2002, it marked the final era of the rear-engined brigade of this type from Volkswagen. Hence, one can find air-cooled engine examples, as well as water-cooled engine variants, and even diesel engines! Today, we have a Carat Trim Package-equipped 1989 Volkswagen Vanagon Carat for sale from Tillamook, Oregon. This water-cooled machine comes with a low 27,332 miles on the clock and has received a re-upholstered interior to make it feel even better to ride in. Interested? Call or DM us soon, and we can have the keys placed in your hand within a jiffy!
This 1989 Volkswagen Vanagon Carat comes in a nice shade of dark blue, and represents a useful modernization of the curvy Volkswagen T2 that preceded it. That van, with its rounded styling, was a Sixties and Seventies icon, while the T3 variant took over the mantle and brought things firmly into the hip to be square era. Hence, you’ve got crisper and straighter lines, squared-off wheel arches and rectangular headlamps to enjoy. The old-school steel wheels with hubcaps of the T2 have also given way to more modern five-spoke alloy wheels in silver, making for a van that still looks fresh to this day. The re-upholstered interior of this 1989 Volkswagen Vanagon Carat comes in gray, and features seating for seven adults. The seating configuration is very interesting, as you’ve got the first row with the driver and co-driver position. Directly behind these seats is a pair of rear-facing jump seats, while the third row comprises a regular, forward-facing three-person bench. Interesting indeed, and allows five adults to have a nice face-to-face conversation! Furthermore, you’ve got head rests, cargo storage areas, cup holders and even air conditioning with overhead ventilation for second and third row occupants. Meanwhile, the original Volkswagen Design radio with cassette tape player sits proudly in the dashboard as well, and plays through speakers dotted around the cabin. We see that a reverse camera has been retrofitted, to the right-hand side of the original analog gauge cluster that even includes a tachometer!
This 1989 Volkswagen Vanagon Carat gets its go-factor from a 2.1-liter water-cooled flat four in the tail. The engine uses Bosch Digifant electronic fuel injection. It drives the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission.
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!

The 1978 Ford Bronco Ranger XLT marked the debut of the second generation, blending full-size truck capability with SUV versatility. Riding on the F-Series chassis, it was built to handle serious off-road use while delivering a comfortable, upscale driving experience. This example, finished in factory-correct Bright Jade and Dark Jade Metallic two-tone paint, showcases the vibrant and distinctive styling of late-1970s Ford design. Equipped with the top-tier Ranger XLT package and the largest available 400 cubic-inch V8 engine, this Bronco represents both luxury and power in a timeless off-road icon.
The 1993 Chevrolet Blazer Silverado represents the pinnacle of GM’s full-size SUV design before the Tahoe nameplate took over. Combining traditional body-on-frame construction with Silverado-level refinement, this Blazer delivers both rugged capability and everyday usability. Finished in Bahama Blue Metallic, it embodies the confident yet approachable character of early-’90s American SUVs — bold, durable, and unmistakably Chevy. With its 5.7L V8 engine, 4WD system, and well-appointed cabin, this Blazer bridges the gap between workhorse and family cruiser in timeless fashion.
This 1986 Land Rover Defender 110 blends the rugged charm of a classic British off-roader with the heart of American muscle.

Finished in Alpine White with purposeful black accents, it presents as both a capable overland machine and a statement of timeless design.
