dear interesting

it is an interesting vanagon =
++ the 5 speed - diesel OEM - that is a nice combination - on the highway
it is very easy to get close to and sometimes north of 40MPG if it is a
turbo then all the better -

++ 1990 with all the stuff done already - (cosmetically ) i would concern
myself with the timing belt especially cause there is no way to know the
exact milage - they are good for about 60k - 80k miles - in and around the
100K Km mark they require changing - or else they will skip a beat on the
road and thats it for that engine -
(been there done that )

++ not a westie - no sink or stove - so no motor home classification -
 indeed in BC it is considered a station wagon -

++ if the body style is the same as the joker body style it is a little
higher than a regular vanagon - more like a syncro - (that should spark
some flaming rhetoric) -

-- they want to put a what in it - a v8 audi - wow been watching too many
commercials - "Coulda Had A V8" -- ceeeshh

regards
