1988 Vanagon GL,139K on odometer but TMU, automatic transaxle,
engine/trans/final drive have synthetic oil.  Tires are Michelin Agilis in
185R14 ($500!), on stock steel wheels with < 1K on tires.  AM/FM cassette
with 6 speakers, battery is 4 months old.  A/C (that needs a charge), cruise
control (that doesn't work) and power mirrors.  Front and rear wipers have
fairly new blades.

Body in good condition, with one dent/scratch on sliding door, and various
small dents and scrapes.  One rust through spot on bottom of rear van window
(drivers side), currently sealed with RTV (hole ~ the size of a quarter),
for some reason, it doesn't have any seam rust.  Interior dirty but in good
condition otherwise, fold down rear bed, no middle seat.

Engine has new distributor and all new belts.  I also have new fuel line and
clamps, plus a new fuel filter to go on it.  New cooling fan resistor.  Left
cylinder coolant seal bad, will not hold coolant, so it needs to be
resealed.  Engine still starts and runs (was running fine before the seal
went), but van cannot be driven.  Seal let go today in my driveway, as I was
pulling into the garage.  As I am on a fixed income, I can't afford to get
this fixed.  Lots of extras go with it, things I had bought to fix it up and
never installed. :-(

$1500 - as is, where is.  Pictures upon request (after I take them :-) ).
