Vanagon TDI (not so much)
Not a TDI. Not actually sure *what* it is... mebbe a 1.6 TD (like the extra one he has, not currently uninstalled?), or a 1.9 TD? Hard to say. There is an '85 Vanagon TDI from Florida on fleaBay right now, but it's got some sketchy unanswered questions floating around it, and -- based on the seller's emphatic hyperbole -- a rather unrealistic reserve price.
If anyone is interested in a much nicer, newer Vanagon with an actual 1.9 TD, however, I do know of one available in Madison, WI. (full disclosure hint: it's mine) Info at
http://madison.craigslist.org/car/568936403.html. More details by email to anyone interested, etc.
I am actually sellling the Vanagon AND our '02 GLS Jetta sedan, to fund an '04/'05 Passat Wagon TDI (partial trades, anyone?). My travel and touring needs are changing, and my new band has a dedicated diesel E350, so I'm a bit van rich at the moment. If I can get this squared away before
carlitdi sells his nice grey '04, that's the one I want!
OK, back to your regularly scheduled thread...
