  Yesterday I bought the 87 Vanagon for $2,000.  It has the Weekender package
and is in excellent condition.  I was given the latest inspection report
(hydrocarbons- a result of 27 PPM with an applicable standard of 220 PPM,
carbon monoxide -- a result of 0.01% with an applicable standard of 1.2
percent), all original owners manuals, and the original window sticker from
Meltebeke's La Habra Volkswagen in La Habra California with a total price of
$19,862.50.
  I will be refreshing all of the fluids, replacing the hatch struts and the
fuel lines, as well as cleaning the carpet and replacing the missing ash
tray.  All of the cup holders are present and functional.
  The vehicle seems to be mechanically sound and has only a few minor
cosmetic dings.
  I will be moving the CD changer to the area under the rear seat. It is
currently located under the jump seat behind the driver.
  I will keep you informed of my progress.  The 84 will be named "Thing 1",
and the 87 will be named "Thing 2" ( with apologies to Dr Seuss)
