Hello Folks,

Sorry for the crosspost for those of you in multiple lists. I am selling
this AW for a friend of mine. I helped him get it as a personal project
but he has decided he wants a Westy instead. The camper needs a bit of work
since it has been sitting for a couple of years. The fellow we
got the van from said he had VW evaluate the engine and was told it was in
good condition and only has 40K miles  on it. The van sat near damp
ground which may have contributed to the rusty exhaust. Looks like old
exhaust to me. Cat is even rusty. Running rich and idling high but drove OK.

Moving on here's m quickie evaluation. There is a shallow dent on the
driver's side just in front of the rear wheel opening. It's hard to see in
photos.
Two tires are good. Two tires are dried out. I have a set of new C-rated
Kirkland tires 195/70/14 mounted on Vanagon steel wheels for sale separately
for $250. Have a set of alloys with good non-LT tires for $300. Please
excuse the personal plug. The sliding door is toast. Good news is the camper
comes with a spare door but maroon in color. Replacement door is from a
1987. Front seats w/ non-adjustable armrest are in good condition. Carpet
needs cleaning. The wood inside needs a good oiling. Most of it looks dry
from sitting. Cobwebs everywhere.

Rear brake cylinder is supposedly leaking per the Seller. The looked OK but
I did not have the drums out. My mechanic is looking it over for me
sometime today.

The van is a 4-speed with the stock 2.1 WBX. Comes with the rare Behr in
dash AC. 80's vintage Alpine pull-out. Sorry I forgot to check mileage. I'll
check that out later when I have more time.

Asking $3600 'as-is' & 'where-is'. Registration cost responsibility of
Buyer. I can get temp tags but requires I register in my name. That adds
about
$200-$300.

Please pmail inquiries. Dibs to at least two listmembers who ask about the
camper first. No deposit taken yet. Photos here:
