If this is the person I think it is, her name is Jane Snyder and she runs a used car lot in Lancaster specializing in Busses and Vanagons. (It is called Crossroads, or was several years ago.) So she has reasonably good knowledge of the resale value of VW vans, their common flaws, etc. I have seen several of her vans over the years. Some were very clean and others rust buckets, but they were priced according (which is all that one could expect; you get what you pay for). From my very limited dealings with her she struck me as honest, and among the handful of people I've spoken to who bought vans from her I have not been told any horror stories. Of course YMMV, caveat emptor, etc. - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot, Inc. www.busdepot.com (215) 234-VWVW _____________________________________________ Toll-Free for Orders by PART # : 1-866-BUS-DEPOT |
