Overview of 1989 Volkswagen Vanagon Carat For Sale by Owner

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!

Exterior and Interior

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!

Engine

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.
