Subject:      90 Carat For Sale 95 K miles
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

Volks,

I must sell my 90 Carat. It has only 95K original miles. It is Auto, air and full power: electric locks and windows. We bought this Vanagon back in 1998 and it has been a daily driver throughout. Good: Straight body, 1 minor ding on front end covered by bra. $600, Pioneer CD/MP3 and tuner installed. $1,200 in brakes 2 years ago. Runs fine, daily drive until last July (2005) when I got a new company car and we stopped driving it.

Needs: Tires: I have waited for I was going to 15" wheels, it has orig alum 14" wheels. I discovered that Carat's are 2" lower than std. Vanagons and scrubbing can be an issue for larger diameter tires: next owners call. Alignment, Elect locks not working, A/C Recharge: converted to R134a, Paint: original and child scratches on RH side from bicycles, Elect mirrors are not responding to the controller.

Cosmetics: Interior needs to be professionally cleaned: a body shop quoted me $250 to pull all the upholstery out, including the seat covers and steam clean them. He did not recommend re-upholstery. Right rear plastic kick panel near lift gate is cracked and held together by Plasti-Dip. Headrests on rear seats have begun to split on the plastic.

General: Royal Purple synthetic lubricants throughout: engine, auto tranny, differential. K&N Filtercharger installed. Maintained by The Kaferhaus an all German house in Seabrook Texas. I have all receipts. This Vanagon is a prime candidate for a restore; it has only 95,000 miles verifiable by Carfax. I am starting a new business and will have to let this Carat go. Asking $2,000 OBO. It will be listed on Ebay. Please e-mail me with any questions and requests for pics.
