"to be more specific about the WV VW� site..."

I was just down there last weekend and I assure you it's in VA (Virginia) and not WV (West-by-god-Virginia, as they say), though I will admit WV VW does have a palindromic appeal.� Incidentally, I have come across two wheelchair lift-fitted Vanagons here in Richmond in the last couple of years, so they are not that rare.� More plentiful than Syncro Westies in this area, in my experience.

���- Description: This is a Volkswagen Vanagon Carat with an all original
���equipment manufacturer wheelchair lift (mechanized) standard. Key power
���controls are on the outside of the van for the motorized slider door, and a
���switch on the lift itself controls the motorized lift. Front driver seat
���swivels for enhanced access. This Vanagon is in excellent condition. There
���is literally no rust as this is a southern van that resided most of its life
���in Florida and Georgia. The CarFax (available upon request) confirms the
���total history. The interior, including panels, carpet, dashboard, and
���upholstery is all clean and intact. Locks and windows are powered, all fully
���operational. All fuel lines on the vehicle were completely replaced just
���recently. Brand new power steering system, and all the usual regular
���maintenance and upkeep. Brakes are good, no damage to any glass or windows,
���and while the tires are good now you would probably want a new set soon.
���This van has been extremely well cared for and would be a dependable daily
���vehicle for a hip disabled person looking for something a little different.
