I actually know the guy who is selling this van and he isn't a scammer he is a nice guy that just happens to live in Sweden at the moment and is going back and forth between the US (where he used to live until a few months ago) and Sweden. I don't know anything about the van, just letting you know that the seller is a real person. He and his family were here with another Westy that he owned this past summer and I fixed a minor issue with that for them. His wife is Swedish and they decided to move over there for a few years to be near her family I guess. That is all I know.
