Subject:      Advice re. 87 Westy
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII


A friend is interested in buying an '87 Westy, but it has some
problems.   Mileage is 185K, and there's some body damage and rust.
The heads were recently replaced for $2K, but the engine has not been
rebuilt.  There's an auxiliary battery.  The interior is dirty but
otherwise probably OK (I haven't seen it).


So, here's a few questions for the list gurus:


1.  What's a fair price?
2.  How much longer can the engine be expected to last?
3.  Any comments on reliability, expected problems, etc.?


Thanks,


- Dave Wallace
