Original message: Do you know what ever happened to that LT28 that was for sale for $3500? If I found one in good condition that could be registered in California I'd buy it in an instant. Zach Kaplan ---------------------------- It sold a couple of weeks after I looked at it. It was registered in canada, no big deal to import a vehicle over 15 years old here. regarding the speed/power: If you try driving a fully loaded westfalia LT high roof (1982) with diesel engine you will see what I was talking about. I drove it on the highway in the mountains, when going up hills I had to drive on the shoulder in 2nd gear at 25 mph. Once I spent 45 minutes driving on the shoulder of the highway because it would not go any faster, there was a headwind. I thought that was kinda dangerous. Lots of room and good fuel economy (12l per100km), but not a safe vehicle imho. I was set to buy it, but it was just such a difficult vehicle to drive that all of it's other virtues could not make up for it's shortcomings. No power steering and poor visibility made it hard to drive in the city. I'm talking about a 1982 diesel version here, I'm sure newer ones are different. gary lee |
