The guy doesn't seem to know much or want to disclose much either. The VIN is for a 1987 but he says 1988, THEN he changes the one above to a 1991 VIN, what's up with that? Given the rust you can see around the edges in the photos and the fact it's been painted TWICE, different colors, almost guarantees there are some real rust issues lurking. Plus it's been for sale before, wnoder why it hasn't sold? Mileage, as we know, can easily be altered or speedo replaced, and there's no Carfax on the VIN, so buyer beware!

I couldn't help but notice the wear on the rubber pedal pedal covers and be suspect of the odometer reading. My 90 Westfalia has 236,000 miles and the pedal covers have less wear. It would probably be hard to get a good carfax on this one. |
