Subject:'90 westy 15000
From:Jonathan Poole

Howdy list,

A friend of mine has found a westy that he is interested in.  I will
be going to look at it with him tommorrow.  As of now I know that:
it has about 80000 miles, 
is a 1990 model, 
received a rebuilt motor from the dealer @ 60000 miles when the owner
went in to have a head gasket replaced,
is a one owner vehicle, 
has had at least minor bodywork done.

I don't know yet if this is a full westy or weekender, if it has any
rust etc.  I have been told that it is in perfect condition with the
above exceptions.

My questions are:
Is 15,000 reasonable if all is as perfect as possible?
Are there any details that you guys would look for in particular (I am
an air-cooled vw guy and have only worked on a few 1.9 or 2.1
vanagons)

In case my friend decides not to purchase I will make a report on the
condition etc. of the vehicle, and the contact info for the seller.

Thanks,

Jonathan Poole
