I'm forwarding a note from a buddy of mine. Needs advice. Thanks!

Hey guys,
I don't know if this is the best place to ask this but I will try anyway. I
found a 90 Westy GL with alloys and the full
pacckage with 84,000 miles on it. They are firm at $9200. The only thing
that worries me is it has not had anything done
to it except oil changes and tune ups. No brakes, no clutch, no shocks and
whatever else starts to go wrong. I am torn
between going for the lower miles and doing the repairs or finding one with
higher miles that has had all of that done
all ready. The van is in decent shape. It has some small seam rust on one
rear wheel arch, some scratches on one side
and has had a bra on the front since it was new. This of course has worn the
paint way down on the edges of the nose. It
is a striking vehicle with a very clean interior. Any thoughts on this? I am
going to Seattle this weekend to look at a
couple up there and I hope this one is available still when I get back.
There is a multi van with 46,000 miles on it I
am hoping to look at. If I am not mistaken this rig has the pop top but no
cooking setup, instead utilizing that space
for more seating.
thanks in advance for any insight,
Craig
