We can't believe it!  We got our Westy in perfect condition for exploring
the West, and then moved East, where we need a vehicle good for visiting
older parents, snow, and ice.

Here's the details:

1988 Westy with 165,000 miles on the body.
 Color: Dark Grey exterior, light grey top and interior
 Body: excellent paint over good metal, small rust spot by hatch window

Runs very well, cruises at 70mph, enjoys long road trips
 4 speed, PS/PB, AM/FM/cassette/extra speakers (new in 2000)
 Tinted rear windows
 Interior perfect

Full camping package (sink, stove, 3-way fridge, rotating seats, tables,
etc.).
 Canvas great (except for one repaired spot)
 All new (2000-02) curtains/screens, carpets, seat covers, etc.
 Camping/Picnic gear included

Major new parts in past 2 years:
 Engine (rebuilt Tuttle's w/warranty for another month, 10K miles)
 Transmission/Clutch (rebuilt w/warranty installed last month, <100 miles)
 Cooling and Exhaust systems (reconditioned 2001, passes CA SMOG)
 Many extras, including all manuals and many new trim/fun parts

We have over $14,000 in her (you'll get the receipts).
Our mechanic says we should sell for no less than $13,000.
We'll sacrifice for $11,000 OBO.

All apologies if this violates any listserv norms....
