Hello List members,
I'm unable to get my Van Running correctly.
I'm not a Mechanic at all, everyone i have asked around here could not help
me.
I dont have the money to take it into a shop and pay hundreds of dollars for
service.
So i sell that Van now. I would love to keep it if I could get it fixed, its
fun to drive and all, but I run out of time now.
1986 Vanagon GL 4 cyl. 4 speed. Light Blue Metallic.
Condition is good, Interrior is very nice, seats 7 I guess, got 2 front
seats, then the middle seat and the big back bench. This is not a motorhome,
no kitchen or so.
interior is also blue. The dash is all new, no cracks or anyhtink. New
speedometer and RPM meter. Panasonic Stereo am - fm & Tape. 2 door speakers
Panasonic too.
The paint is on a scale from 1-10 a 8...i took the Van to the carwash and
blastet a little off on the side sliding door and on the other site. but
nothing major, about the size of  3x3 inches i guess. The Van is over all in
very nice condition just has those Idel problems with the Valve connected and
stall`s when i drive sometimes. If I disconnect that Valve it runs normal,
but still stalls.The windshild has a crack in it and a chip from a rock i
guess. But cant be that Bad, because I passed safty Inspection without a
problem.
So if anyone is out there interested and able to fix it, come get it is all
yours. Im on the end of my nerves.........I'm done with it, just to much to
know about it.
The funny think is , i just got it 14 days ago myself, but didn know that i
need to know so much about it to get it running.
I'm located in missouri, in Branson about 38 miles south of Springfield or
250 south of Kansas City Missouri.
I sell it for Kellys Blue Book Value for $ 1800.00 or Best Resonable Offer.
