not bad.
a late model too. Alloy wheels, nice color ..comes with a new tent even .
the guy seems honest enough ..

the 'real' first issue is ...........whether  a person even wants it in
their life at all...
and if the answer is 'yes' ..
then 'how much' is next.

I have seen many sellers come down a reasonable 10 % if they know they have
a clean sale..
and they know their van isn't perfect.  Even a bit more than that.
 Looks like this one  could make a GREAT late model waterboxer westy  for
someone.
assuming it's not rusted or banged up badly anywhere.

actually ..
there is wrestling the trans out of course...
but a couple hundred dollars cash outlay will go quite a way on a
do-it-yourself clutch job..

and any considerations about it being winter and have to work on it
outside..
or age of the clutch-changer person ..
naw ... ....we're not bothered by any of that stuff !
