Today I purchased the Vanagon I looked at 1 week ago.  I brought it home, it
was about 50 miles.  It did beautifully, with not a single problem.  It gave
good power, and seemed to loosen up as time went on.  It sat for over a year
without being started.  All it needed was a battery!

After going thru receipts, over $10k has been invested in this van in the
last 3 years.
Everything from a paint job to a new motor and auto transmission.  VDO
gauges, new tires, brakes, shocks....the list is very long.

I went over it today with a fine tooth comb and only found it to need 1 light
bulb and 2 wiper blades.

Boy do I feel lucky!
