Subject:      Car buyer's inspection
Content-Type: text/plain

Ok, it looks like things are moving forward with my potential '83 purchase.
I'm lined up to have the car taken to a mechanic, I'm wondering what are
some specifics to check out?


Obviously they look at the usual stuff (compression, tune up parts, linkages
and all that) but was wondering if there is a specific water-cooled
checklist.  These things scare me a bit I must admit, my old aircooleds were
much more simple to inspect.  The van does not have A/C, unsure if it has PS
or not (was it optional?).  Is there a method of examining the cooling
system?


Thanks in advance...
