1991 was the last year the Vanagon was made. It has very low mileage for its age. It has been our family's daily driver for over seven years and has taken us on several wonderful road trips through the West. Below I've tried to be as clear as possible about the pros and cons of the van. As the pictures show, the interior is in great shape for the age of the vehicle. As far as the exterior is concerned, there is a dent in the sliding door and adjacent panel. There is also some rust, a product of it living outside in Kansas. I've done much work on it myself over the years. But when I've needed a mechanic, I've always used Das Autohaus in Lawrence, KS--a VW specific shop that has been in business for many decades. Receipts for all work are available.
