Subject:      im selling my 84 vanagon westfalia
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

Hi, i purchased an 84 vanagon from an old man a few months ago
with the intent of fixing it up to perfection and then seeing the
country in it.  But do to money restrictions and such i have decided
to sell it.  the van has 186,000 miles on it.  the last owner told me
he ran it out of oil at 62k miles and had the engine rebuilt.  the
engine is the main point of vehicle that needs fixing.  it runs and
starts up fine but leaks oil as well as burns oil.  there is also a
coolant leak that i believe is coming from a hose or the reserve
tank, but the two times i drove it the van rode well and did not get
hot, after running for a while it didnt sound as weak and ran better.
it has the 1.9 liter wasserboxer engine, automatic transmission,
am/fm radio(tape deck does not work).
-----This van is located about 15 miles west of Kokomo, Indiana-----
        Another mechanical problem is the front drive side tie link is
broken, it looks like it has been like that for a while and the van
drives fine with it as is.
        I accidentally broke the water faucet by turning the handle too
far
there are 3 big rust spots on the sliding door, and rust around the rv
hook ups, other than that the van looks in decent shape, it could
use a new paint job but doesnt look bad, it is a light brown color
with white pop top, which has been cleaned and looks good, the
sun roof doesnt leak either
-the propane tank is rusted through
-the water tank hookup on the outside is smashed up and i dont
have the key.
        the curtain for the sliding door is broken, the screen for the
stove side of the van is included, as well as the sliding door screen
but it is broken. the screen for the hatch is included.
-there is a small cut or two in the pop top cover, but it still works
good, i have slept in it during several fierce rain storms with the top
up without any problems or leaking.
-the interior is in very good shape.
there are two cracks in the windshield but they do not interfere with
driving nor have they increased in size during the time i have had
the van

i can furnish additional information as well as pictures if you are
interested, just email me at stone2@netusa1.net  im asking 850
dollars
