Subject:      1991 Silver Westy for Sale --- 47,000 miles in excellent shape
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

This is not my Van, but I examined it for some friends who were thinking
about buying a van.  If I didn’t already have a 1991 Van and two other
vehicles, I would have purchased it.  In fact, I seriously considered buying
it, but my wife talked me out of it (get the picture!).  Someone on the list
looking for a good van should look at it.  I was very impressed!

1991 Silver Westy with 47,000 miles
4 speed with AC, auxiliary battery
Asking $14,500
Located in Waynesboro, VA
Owner is Carolyn Massie at carolynmassie@hotmail.com
Her phone is 540-949-6059

Carolyn is the second owner of the van and has owned it for a year.  She
purchased it from an elderly couple who kept it garaged but were no longer
able to use the van.  Carolyn has had the van thoroughly checked over and
minor problems corrected by Rule Honda/Volkswagen in Staunton, VA.

My impressions:
Overall, this is an excellent van.  I saw no rust, or dents, etc.  It drove
great, the engine seemed strong and the four-speed transmission shifted
smoothly.   The tires are not the originals but are the correct "reinforced"
and discontinued Michelins —forgot the model letters.  No sign of exterior
head gasket leak.  Air Conditioner works fine.   When checking it over, I
discovered that the fridge didn’t work.  The dealer corrected a blockage (?)
and it supposedly now works fine.

Exterior paint is in excellent shape.  Since the van was garaged, the rubber
window and door and top seals all appear in great shape.   The interior has
two minor and very small cigarette burns.  One burn is on the driver’s seat
and another is on the floor carpet.   The only thing I found wrong is that
the previous owner rigged a doorbell switch to the sink faucet to make the
faucet work.  Your guess is as good as mine on this—probably needs a new
faucet and integrated switch.

While the van looks good as it is and is very clean, a good wax job and a
thorough detailing will make this thing sparkle.

I believe you will be hard pressed to find a  91 Westy for sale in better
shape than this one at this price.

Contact Carolyn, not me.

I have no interest in this other than trying to help a list member find a
good van.
