1985 VW Vanagon Westfalia Camper w/ Auto Trans & 120k Miles – $13k in Bellingham, WA
While I’m not the biggest fan of the automatic transmission, here’s a very clean and well cared for 1985 Westy camper with only 120k miles for $12,995 available in Bellingham, WA that posted on The Samba this morning. According to the seller they bought a Eurovan, so they’re selling their Westy. While not many details are provided, the listing states that the all camping gear works, it has a power inverter with dual (new) batteries and includes a new paint job, new tires, new shocks and struts, new alternator and a nice looking new 3 window tent. If I were considering this van, I’d be sure to get a compression test on the engine, and also make sure it stays cool in city driving conditions. If it’s a clean title and passes those tests, this is a nice looking low mile Westy for $13k. In this type of cosmetic condition, it should fetch a high resale value even if it mechanically fails to a point where you can’t afford to fix it.
