dear noticed

that "I noticed that the top does not seem to fit properly." ... is most
likely a sloppy job of packing the canvas into place -
it is also very likely the patch required for the top as noted in the
description - will multiply in size and or number every time one of the non
westie sorts opens and closes the top with out regard for the canvas -

I think it is great to see retail asking price up where it belongs at
another dealership besides go westy - i suggest that all those who like to
have records to show insurance adjusters - grab a screen shot of this with
details so if you are required to justify to an adjuster advising the
writing of a 1500$ cheque - you will have some legs to stand on besides the
premium go westy stuff -

it always surprises me when a decent vehicle is listed at retail prices -
every one points at the pictures and nit pics - then when in the event of a
wreck  - hue-n-cry goes up - that adjuster offered kelly book pricing or
blue book pricing or some other invented scale that has nothing to do with
the "value" of the van -
insurance is not for value - insurance is for compensation of replacement
cost of same - i wish the van listed in Maryland was stickered at twice as
much ...

anyway not even close to friday - for this kind of roger driven silliness

regards
