Subject:      91 Vanagon MV, good deal???
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I'm a VW Westy wannabe, and I recently found a van
that I'm interested in buying. I was wondering if
anyone could help me figure out a decent price for
this vehicle. It's a 1991 Vanagon MV with Automatic
and Premium Sound. The van has 71,000 miles and has
spent it's life in the Northeast, but it shows no body
rust. The dealer has no service records available and
I'm not very experienced in what signs of mechanical
problems to look for. The exhaust system was intact
but looked rather rusty, tire were rather worn, but
the van ran ok and got up to 65mph fairly quickly. The
interior was in good shape with only one major stain
on the rear facing driver-side seat. The pop-top and
screens looked very good with no noticable problems.
The van has had only one previous owner.

I've checked Kelly Blue Book and Edmunds but I was
hoping for some "inside" owner advice. The dealer is
asking 13,995. I was thinking this is a bit high, any
suggestions or comments welcome.

Thanks~JoN
Who's hoping for a Westy real soon :)
