Jennifer,

IMHO 5k for this van is a good deal ...... if there are no hidden lurking
problems.  I have an '82 which is well used and I would not sell it if
someone offered 4 or 5k.  What kind of vehicle can you get for that
nowadays  - a Hyundai or Daewoo?  Try to camp in a Hyundai!

Frankly as a vehicle goes the VW is far from perfect and you can expect
to repair some items which go from age rather than miles.

A compression test and good once over from a mechanic or fellow VW
enthusiast would be good.  Where in Wisconsin are you?  In the Milwaukee
area the DBG group has a member or two who might help.  I am up in
Superior but have a house and some VW parts in Racine.

Good luck and if you decide not to purchace this van let the list know
where it is hidding.
