Subject:1990 vanagon i found

Hi all,
I would appreaciate any suggestions about buying a
vanagon with a notchy 2nd gear and 98,000 miles.
Notchy meaning that 2nd gear was hard to seat if I
could seat it in its place at all. The seller also
made the mistake of putting the green anti-freeze in.
Having just done a head replacement on a 1990 2wd
(which was totaled two days after i finished, in a
rear end collision). Other problems with the car are
power locks only work when in the car, a tampered with
oil drain plug (threads had been replaced with that of
a spark plug (which is odd because the bolt sits out 1
inch more than it is supposed too), and a steering
wheel that was out of alignment. The only thing i am
really woried about was the notchy 2nd gear, any
advice would help.

ps: He was asking $3,150 and I told him that I would
give him $2,000. He said that he would consider it.

thanks all,
-reggie

RIP 1990 vanagon 2wd with new amc heads named mojo
