"located Maine, USA"...not of much interest to us on the West coast,
really…."

I have a different opinion, Don, on the virtues of posting cross country sales.  Living in Florida, I am about as far from you north westerners as anyone could be.  Yet, if I am to look for a new van, I am going to look primarily in two places:  the west coast and Germany.  The former because of your salt-free, dry climate, and the latter because Germans tend to take very good care of their vehicles, despite the snowy winters.
Therefore, I hope that list members will post vehicle listings anywhere they may be found……please just mention where the vehicle is located!

  I'd say a little discretion about what kind of ads you send along to
Vanagon is going to be appreciated here.  Remember, this is a mailing list
format and we all get all the messages...So outstanding deals, ridiculously
outlandish asking prices, weird and amusing modifications on FS vans,
things that might be of interest to the general readership..those are
probably interesting to most of us here, yes...but seeing ads for average
prices and average vanagons, ads for vans around the world or across the
US, that is not of interest to some...We can all go to CL, the Samba,
Autotrader...hundreds of sites...and see those any time if we are
interested...
  That is my input...Send em..... for those $90k Syncros....makes me
laugh....skip em for the "asking $15k for '89 Westie,  Needs
engine..located Maine, USA"...not of much interest to us on the West coast,
really..
