Subject:      90 GL auto from VA on ebay $950
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed

Vanagonites,

There is a good looking 90 GL with an automatic transmission for sale on
ebay.   Recently posted, no bids, can be grabbed for $950, full
fiberglass skirts, power mirrors, tow hitch, steel wheels, etc.

Exterior pictures look nice, no interior pictures posted.

Text description is as follows:

"This is a 1990 Vanagon GL.  It is an automatic and has the setup for
the AC. It starts and runs fine in all gears for about a minute. Then it
goes to a real low idle. If you turn off the ignition and restart it, it
works fine again for another minute. Since it consistently does this, it
appears to be an issue with the main computer under the rear seat. The
van needs a right side indicator light, a speedometer cable and turn
signal relay. The rear heating unit has been removed and bypassed. The
AC leaks but work and has been switched to 134a.

The body is solid with only small dots of rust on the front  under the
wipers and on the edge of the footsteps."

Usual disclaimer, don't know anyone, no financial interest in this, but
it looks like it might be a good deal for someone to fix up.

And despite seeing the lists of those who have 6-14 vehicles over the
last week, I think 3 vanagons and one parts van are enough for me.   And
I don't like automatics.  But someone who aspires to a fleet or is
currently vanagonless should check it out.
