I don't care what kind of vehicle it is, Vanagon or otherwise, nor do I care what my impressions of the seller are from a distance. I simply will not purchase a vehicle I have not personally inspected, taken to a competent mechanic for inspection and report, and seen proper documentation of ownership. I bought my 1991 Volkswagen Vanagon GL Campmobile in Lexington, Kentucky when I lived in Oklahoma. However, I went to Lexington and carried out all necessary preliminaries. My first question of a seller is: "When and where can I see it?" mcneely On Fri, Jun 1, 2018 at 9:08 AM, Chris S <szpejankowski@gmail.com> wrote: > I recently made an offer on a Vanagon I have not seen in person.
