I don't care what kind of vehicle it is, Vanagon or otherwise, nor do I
care what my impressions of the seller are from a distance.  I simply will
not purchase a vehicle I have not personally inspected, taken to a
competent mechanic for inspection and report, and seen proper documentation
of ownership.  I bought my 1991 Volkswagen Vanagon GL Campmobile in
Lexington, Kentucky when I lived in Oklahoma.  However, I went to Lexington
and carried out all necessary preliminaries.

My first question of a seller is:  "When and where can I see it?"
