I hate to do this, but I need a vehicle that I can drive year 'round.  Fuzzy
starts fine in the cold weather, but I just don't like driving a 17 year old
camper through the snow and ice.

Here are the vitals:
'84 Vanagon Westfalia
Fully camperized (stove, sink, 3-way fridge)
1.9L engine runs great (knock on wood!)
171 000 kms (107 000 miles)
Brand new Michelin LTX tires
All camping equipment works 100%
Canvas top in excellent shape
4 speed manual tranny
Light blue paint (smurf blue among friends)
Have manuals and receipts from original owner
Recent work done:  New CV boot; 4 new front ball joints;

Here's the deficiency list:
Needs new pop top
May need new clutch (feels a bit funny once everything is warmed up)
Needs new control rod for the front heater valve.  I changed the valve, but
neglected to change the control rod (stupid me)
Showing some seam rust.  Previous owner did a bit of painting on it, so the
rust may be a bit worse than it looks, but I don't know.
Every once and a while the speedo stays at 0 (like once a month).  The
odometer keeps rolling though, and the speedo comes back to life when you
hit around 80 km/h

Price:
I have advertised it for $7000 (Canadian) in the local paper, but will sell
it for a less to the list members.
Will also consider trades for a Volvo sedan or wagon.
Please respond privately with questions.
