Any list members happen to live near there (Terrebone, Quebec)?  If I decide
I'm seriously interested, it would be nice to have a pair of eyes actually
look at the van for me and confirm that it's as clean as claimed.  I need to
replace my tree-destroyed '89, and am looking for a nearly-mint Westy.  I'm
not in a huge rush (in fact I'm in the process of buying a '95 Eurovan
camper to hold me over, so I can bide my time and find the perfect Vanagon).
But this one looks like it might be a good candidate, if the seller seems
honest, the bidding doesn't get too absurd, and reimporting isn't too
difficult/expensive. (It was originally U.S. titled, maybe that helps?)
