Hello Listees-
This is a little long, so bear with me...
I really need some advice on a 1985 Westy (Wolfsburg) I am considering buying
in SC. This is a pop top without the kitchen (wider rear bench, flip up
table, jump seat behind driver, and floor mounted cooler behind passenger
seat). It belongs to a little old couple in my neighborhood who have taken
very good care of it for the 13 years they have owned it. I'd give the
exterior about a B+ (no rust - southern car) some sun damage to paint and
dashboard, other wise could clean up fairly well. The interior is also about
a B+, no rips or tears, everything seems to work. Has auto, A/C, AM/FM/cass,
etc...the basics. The engine, however, purrs like a kitten! No leaks, runs
amazingly smooth, 110,000 miles on original engine. All this to say the guy
wants 4400.00 and would probably sell it for 4000. I would be driving it up
to MN and after a season or so would probably sell it up there as I already
have another Westfalia. Does this seem like something I could eventually get
my investment back out of? I don't really know what resale would be like on
this up north, but I would think pretty good?!  Thanks for any input.
