Subject:FS: 83.5 Westy in Seattle
From:John Smith

It's time to say goodbye to my 83.5 westy of 9 years.  I'm just too busy
with other things to pay attention to it anymore, so it must go.  It's not
in the best condition, but could be fixed up or even used as a parts van if
need be.  I'll start the asking at $1250.  The details:

Approx 225k miles on original engine (odometer says 175k because I had to
replace the instrument cluster 2 years ago), right gasket redone once, left
gaskets done twice.  Runs great. Oil changed religiously every 3.5k.
Full camper, fridge works, but haven't used sink or stove in over 5 years,
so I'm not sure if these are working.
Exterior is in questionable shape... it's been stained with dirt from so
much driving on unpaved roads, and there is a dent in the sliding door.
Minimal visible rust.  Right rear wheelwell is a bit chewed up.
Interior is in very good condition.  Cabinets and doors look good, lower and
upper bed is solid, front seats are nice.  Poptop works fine, canvas has a
few tiny holes.  The poptop has a small crack of about 1 inch that happened
about 4 years ago, I patched it and it does not leak.  poptop roof is a bit
stained from mildew.  New brakes and new tires about 6k ago.

Lots of other info I can send you if you're interested.  I can also send you
photos if you'd like, or you can come by and see it.  I'm in the University
District in Seattle.  E-mail me at johns3539@hotmail.com if interested or
need more info.

Thanks,

John
