It sure should have sold fast with that super reasonable price. I paid about the same for a completely non-rusted Sunroof 83, 5 speed diesel vanagon ..( no diesel heater though ) your buyer got a screamin' good deal. Very generous of you to pass along such a fine machine so reasonably. I plan to 1.6 TD-ize mine too and then it will be for sale. runs currently with tired 1.6 NA ..but it will be so much better with a rebuilt 1.6 TD in it. Nice west coast non-rusted example too. keepin' it all in the vanagon community ! right on. Scott www.turbovans.com
