Subject:      1980 Vanagon air-cooled for sale in Vancouver
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Hi everybody,
I am writing here to get some advice.
I have a 1980 air-cooled vanagon which is in running condition, the
interior needs TLC, and there are parts that are quite rosty. the last
row of the formerly seven seateris missing, too. I bought it for 500,
spent 250 Dollars fixing stuff and then another 200 for getting it
through air-care. I got only a conditional pass, as the HC was a bit too
high while idle, everything else was within allowed range. I am not sure
about the prize with which I could sell it. The mechanic who did the
tuning said that the engine is in good condition, for proper tuning it
would need a new Oxygen sensor. I understand without seeing it, it is
hard to say anything, anyway, how much are part vanagons, that you guys
buy? Quite honestly, I just want to get rid of the van and not loose
much money, if possible. I had never problems while driving it through
the winter. I bought it when I was fixing my other van.
I would greatly appreciate, if you could give me some advice.
Thanks a lot
Thomas
