Hi All


Thanks for the many warm "welcomes".  Still very much enjoying the list and learning stuff too!


My Vanagon search is still ongoing.  I am focused (after taking advice from many folks on this list) on a later model.


Question:  There is an ongoing ebay auction for restored Westy.  It is out of my price range (almost 20k buy it now) but a statement in the auction description caught my eye and I would be interested to hear feedback from you guys.


Specifically the seller sates..."If you buy an $8000 to $13,000 Westy, you will need to add up to $8000 in parts to make it reliable, and thats BEFORE you touch the engine or tranny! "


Do you agree? Obviously it is possible but I'd be interested to hear thoughts based on real world experience.


Thanks again


Dave
