1982 Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon GL

Blue on the outside, chocolate-brown on the inside, and packing that trusty 1.6L Diesel I4 SOHC 8V FI — this 1982 Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon GL is the low-mileage charmer you didn’t know you needed. Averaging under 4,000 miles a year and under 145k total, it’s in excellent overall condition and ready to parade nostalgia wherever you go.

Factory-standard details you’ll actually notice: a roomy multi-passenger layout with folding rear bench seats for flexible cargo or crew hauling, a sliding side door for easy access, large wraparound windows for epic road-trip views, original brown cloth/vinyl trim, and adjustable front seats with simple recline. The original dash keeps things honest with analog gauges (speed, fuel, temp) and straightforward heater/ventilation controls; the factory AM/FM radio gives you tunes without the fuss. Manual windows and locks, steel wheels with classic hubcaps, and rugged, easy-to-work-on mechanicals round out the classic, no-nonsense package.

In short: classic looks, sensible diesel economy, and that unmistakable VW personality — sass included.
