Subject:      Newbie question
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;


    I am brand new and interested in buying a Westy, circa mid to late 80's.  I would like to do this within the next several months and so I have joined this group to become informed.  But, for most posts, I know too little to understand the subject matter.  So, could you recommend a book for me to buy?  Also, any tips you could send my way on what to look for.  For instance, how much mileage is too much?  These VW's seem to be work horses but it seems I should stay away from cars with 200,000 or more miles.  Are there good years and bad years within this time frame?  Some I should stay away from?  
    I live in San Diego County and my husband and I want to use the Westy for local camping and, occasionally, farther trips.  Anything that you can tell me to make me more knowledgeable would be greatly appreciated.
