My air-cooled vanagon is still for sale. I had a buyer who was spending a
great deal of time (wasted) on how and why I would remove the heater pipe
from the alternator aux. blower. I live in AZ , need I say more? I used the
blower from the alternator to direct cooler air to help the main fan cool the
engine a little more efficiently. Beleive it or not this was a major issue
with him! I practically let him have the vanagon at $2,000. I was asking for
$2,500! He told me he would give me $2,000 for it, I said let me think about
it, as i was not in any hurry to sell my van. I discussed with my wife and we
argued that we should get $2,500 out of it at least! I told the guy OK
$2,000. He said great! I will be over tonight for the transaction. I called
 this old guy that was selling a 67 beetle and told him that I would be over
the next evening. The guy that wanted to buy the van called me back. He said
he really wanted the heater  to work. I told him I have all the parts here, I
included them with the  van. He said he didnt want used parts and could I
pick one up at the dealer and install it?  I hung up. I wanted to tell this
guy he did not have the right attitude to own a vanagon. I left him a message
that the van is no longer for sale. I dont feel any regeret about losing the
$2,000.
