Subject: WTB: 1986+ Vanagon Westy in Seattle area
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed
Hello, I'm looking for a 2.1L Vanagon Westy! I enjoyed a 1985 Westy (named
"Spiny Norman") for many years but had to sell it a few years back when I
moved to Philly. I'm now in Seattle and have been looking at craigslist but
most are either aircooled (nice, but not what I want) or just overpriced by
a lot as they are at new tranny/engine mileages. Anybody have any good ideas
of other places to look? I don't want a beater or a fixer but don't want to
pay 10K for one with close to 200K miles on original tranny and an engine
with low compression . . . .
I've been thinking - heresy - of a eurovan Winnebago if no Westys appear,
but would really prefer the Vanagon.
I'm looking in the Western Washington area as I've traveled with a friend to
look at other cars listed on craigslist (he wants a jeep) and many are not
even close to the descriptions. A hole in the driver's floor big enough to
throw a softball through and bounce off the road and a seat ready to fall
through the floor and out on the highway does not qualify as "little or no
rust."
Tom
