The guy doesn't seem to know much or want to disclose much either. The VIN
is for a 1987 but he says 1988, THEN he changes the one above to a 1991 VIN,
what's up with that? Given the rust you can see around the edges in the
photos and the fact it's been painted TWICE, different colors, almost
guarantees there are some real rust issues lurking. Plus it's been for sale
before, wnoder why it hasn't sold? Mileage, as we know, can easily be
altered or speedo replaced, and there's no Carfax on the VIN, so buyer beware!

the wear on the rubber pedal pedal covers and be suspect of the odometer
reading. My 90 Westfalia has 236,000 miles and the pedal covers have less
wear. It would probably be hard to get a good carfax on this one.
