Regarding the white westy w/ blown motor: My feathers have already been
ruffled!
after 2 requests; I finally was told "sale is on hold".  Both times I asked
for the price---was never given!
The Vanagon list is a good place to fish for buyers, I guess, we're all
SUCKERS!  or that's what the sellers think.  And yes, I would like to see
the price for ANYTHING offered for sale on the List, just add an "OBO" to
protect yourself.
Is there a reason we cant know how much a side window is???

Disclaimer:
3 weeks ago I attempted to get a worn out westy to a good home; I posted it
as "almost free" because I knew the seller would take anything over $100
fast or else it was going to crusher.

BTW, anyone buy that?? (diesel L in wisc.)
