I actually know the guy who is selling this van and he isn't a scammer
he is a nice guy that just happens to live in Sweden at the moment and
is going back and forth between the US (where he used to live until a
few months ago) and Sweden. I don't know anything about the van, just
letting you know that the seller is a real person. He and his family
were here with another Westy that he owned this past summer and I fixed
a minor issue with that for them. His wife is Swedish and they decided
to move over there for a few years to be near her family I guess. That
is all I know.
