Steve,


If the westy is very clean, with little to no rust, that is worth alot in
my opinion because I would rather spend my money on mechanical components
than on bodywork and cosmetic items.


Like others have said, at 170K mechanical things are getting tired and
will need attention.  I like the "downpayment" comment! that's funny...but
true.
