I was lucky enough to drive this Vanagon several weeks ago, and I would say it is one of the nicest Vanagons I have seen and driven. 
I have looked at many Vanagons in the Denver area over the past year, and next to the over priced Westy's from JDB Imports in Commerce City,
this is the best I saw.

Ken Morgan (Eurocars) has done most of the work on this Van, and everything works (Power accessories, cruise control, etc.)
Nice interior, newer tires (correct size and load rating), alloys, good paint, strong engine, A/C works and is R134a now. 
There were other things, but my overall impression of this Van was great.

I liked it, and if I had the money...
well just hurry up already and buy this nice Van from a very nice family.

Subject: 1989 Carat - Fair price?

All,
I have a 1989 Wolfsburg Carat for sale.  It's in very nice shape, just had
the heads done and I'm asking $4900.(was $5500)  Does this sound like a fair
price?  I'm in Denver and I'm getting ready to put it up for sale in the
paper.  Pictures can be seen at www.coresponsor.com/vanagon/carat.html  Any
feedback would be much appreciated.  Thanks!

Tom
