Subject: SALE Reluctantly-89 Westy
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"; format="flowed"
Hi folks,
Haven't contributed in a while, things have been hectic
here to say the least, but I still lurk and learn :o).
We are reluctantly going to sell our 89 beautiful Westy.
Farm Bureau still has not fixed our home from the tornado
damage we had over a year ago. They haven't even
reimbursed us for the $5000 we already put out.
Winter is coming soon here in NE Iowa and I've stalled
long enough on selling her, waiting for our Insurance
company to pay up and fix our roof, windows, barn and
garage. It gets mighty cold here and we need to fix up
the house before we're under 5 feet of snow and 20 below
zero. (were gonna pay this winter because the last one was
soooo warm) So here's the info: If anyone is interested
please send me an email at: katya@butler-bremer.com

salt and came from West Palm Beach Florida. I am the 3rd
owner and have only driven it a few times in winter here.
Well the above is just a part of the stuff that has been
done. Nothing real major, but the "little" things that
should be taken care of. I have almost all the receipts .
Actually $3,000 this last year, with the new pop-top paint
and bumper (still have the old one and it's not bad, I
just didn't like the way it looked with the little scrunch
in the fiberglass and little dings that come from being an
89)
We looked for over a year to find just the right Westy
and believe you me, I was very, very picky about the
mechanicals (and receipts) and all the "little" stuff. I'm
a panic monger when it comes to the Westy.I really didn't
think it would come to this, but.........we gotta do it.
She's gotta go to a new home.
Cheers,
Katy
