Owners of the Volkswagen Vanagon, produced from 1980 to 1991, maintain a cult following around the model despite its age. The 1980–91 Westfalia version appeared on Hagerty's 2021 Bull Market List, which tracks collector vehicles poised to rise in value. In British Columbia, mechanic Jay Lefstein and instructor Erin Lane ran a paid clinic for new owners covering basic maintenance and the need to carry tools. The annual DeLaSyncro Overland Campout in Squamish brings together owners of both two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive Syncro versions.
