Hi there all,

I'm currently in the process of buying a 1987 vanagon that I found
through the pennysaver.  It's being sold by a machanic who seems like a
nice guy.  He says it's in great shape and from all appearances it's in
great shape.  However, the odometer reads just under 85,000 miles and
running a check on the VIN at carfax.com shows that during inspection as
of 1/18/2000 it had 113,619 miles on it.

Naturally I am feeling a bit wary.  If anyone has any advice to share it
will be greatly appreciated.  Also, if anyone knows of a good VW guy I
could take it to who is not far from Mount Kisco NY, that would probably
come in handy as well.

If you could reply to me as well as the list, that would be great since
I'm not sure I'm getting messages from the list (I subscribed but so far
have received nothing).

Thanks

Antony Widoff
Hudson, NY
