Subject:      Should I buy this Vanagon?

Hi Folks, Am brand new to list and need some advice...

My wife and I are contemplating the purchase of a 1990 Westfalia with a whole bunch of miles on it (133,000). The car is super clean, one owner,recipts for all service (which seems to have been done religiously). Slight oil leak from the drain plug, otherwise the engine is really clean and it runs strong. The asking price is $8950 which seems like a bargain.

Not being at all familiar with water-cooled VWs I'm wondering if we should be concerned about the mileage and especially with the head leak problem. Any transaxle concerns (it's a four speed).

Many thanks!

John
