"Faith will move mountains, but you'd better bring a shovel...."

  Is it too much to
> ask to find good owners who are parting with their vans?

--I think it just takes a lot of patience.  I looked (literally) all over
the country for my 90, including flights to other states, etc.  When I
finally was about to give up for a while, my westy popped up 4 miles from my
house.  I rode my bike to pick it up.  They are rare, yes, but they are out
there.

> One thing I like to consider is this:  is low mileage really such a good
> thing?  When I bought the 84 it had 75, 000 mi.  I bet the PO's let it

--My 90 had about 201,000 on it when I bought it.  It also had complete
records from day one, and had been professionally maintained by a cool
German guy in Ukiah, CA.  I definitely didn't plan to buy a van with those
kind of miles, but I would be willing to bet it's in better condition that a
lot of vans with 100,000 on them.  I have traveled 20,000 miles in it this
year already, and have yet to be let down a single time (other than a clutch
master cylinder, which was no big deal).  I believe condition is much more
important than mileage.  After you get past the idea that you have/are
buying a high mileage vehicle, who cares?  If it still does what it's
supposed to, it doesn't matter.  And you can usually get much better deals
on high-mileage vans anyway.
