I was driving today and saw a '85 for sale. I checked it out and drove it. It looks in decent condition. I noticed only 4 problems. There is a power steering leak, and the brakes are soft. The AC does not cool. There is a pin hole in the muffler, but rest of exhaust system looks good. The engine looks in good shape with no head leaks or oil leaks. It is an automatic transmission. The upholstery is in good shape for an 85. Mats need cleaning or replacing. The guy has it advertised for $1200, but will take $1000. Looks like a good fix-up for someone at a cheap price. If it was a Westy for $3000, it would be in my driveway. Oh, there is no rust, but has some dings etc. Bill
