Subject:Re: '91 westy with 60k mi....$9 grand. on CL

Admittedly the price is less than they typically go for.  But, driver's
side back panels appear caved.  Paint is really, really faded.  Interior
appears much more faded than my 1991 Volkswagen Vanagon GL Campmobile with
175K miles.  For what it's worth, I don't buy anything without personal
inspection.  Others think differently.
