Strange comment (note, corrected to remove "real names")..
"Long story not so long, by the time "the buyer" and "The Seller" get
through the paperwork, it had gotten pretty dark so "the Buyer" could not
really get a good look."
Well, I don't know about you, but I always check out the vehicle before
proceeding to do paperwork!
I agree that Zoltan is a "stand-up" guy, and when I look at his posts, it
clearly appears that he is just doing his best to keep Vanagon's on the
road!
If the only real issue was seam rust, a lot could be done for not a big
inventment.
My 2 cents!
