I am going back to school and have to part with Vanessa (Brown 85 Westy) for financial reasons. I thought I'd try the list before going on eBay. I have also listed her on ePage.com: http://epage.com/js/mi?ad=1753488&c=0 Here is a brief description: 1985 VW Westfalia (Vanessa) w/ a recently rebuilt engine (15k miles ago). Total miles on van: 204,500 miles. I am the third owner of this van, which has always been well taken care of. I am going back to school this Summer and it breaks my heart that I will have to part with Vanessa. Not only do I need some money to help with tuition/expenses, but I cannot afford to insure an extra car for the next 2 years. Tires are in great condition (about 10,000 miles on them) and so is the engine and the rest of the van. I bought it last Summer and drove 3,000 miles on my first trip with no issues what-so-ever (averaged 18 mpg). I had the van tuned upon arrival in TN ($1,500 in new gaskets and labor) and it has run great for the close to 10,000 miles I have owned her. The interior is 8 out of 10. No Tears, No Rips. I have many pictures available upon request. The van was originally in PA so there is some seem rust, but nothing major... normal wear for a 20 year old vehicle. I would rate the overall exterior condition as a 7 or 8 out of 10. Additions to the van: original round headlights were replaced with four square headlights (as in newer models). The van has Alloy wheels, a $1,600 value alone (gowesty.com). It also has a Fiamma Bike Rack that I bought new last Fall (fits 2 bikes, $250 value). If interested, please call Nuno at (615) 653-1323 or e-mail any additional picture requests to nuno@carneirofamily.net I am asking $6,000 OBO which is considerably less than what Vanessa is worth. If I could keep her, I would. Just hope she goes to a good family that will take good care of her. |
