Hi! - I've been reading the list religiously since I bought my
Westfalia about 5 months ago...Here's my first .02 cents:
$3200 seems like a bit high although potentially reasonable.
I bought my 84 GL Wolfsberg Edtn. (sp?) (cracked windshield but
otherwise in good condition) for $3500...Here are some more
details:
1. 98000 miles
2. Blaupunkt amp and speakers (12 in all)
3. Canvas in good shape (a few 1/4 cm holes)
4. Fridge and Stove working ok
5. Sink pump needs to be replaced
6. Automatic Trans
7. Quite clean - no rust
Although it seemed a bit expensive when I bought it (in Ga)
I now believe it was a good deal. Actually I'm not all too
concerned about $$ in hindsight - I've been very, very happy
with it so far - Westy's are great all around vehicles IMHO.
Recommendation: Buy it, but bargain some if you can...
Also...(and a bit unrelated to above)
With Bently manual in hand (plus Muir's "How To Keep Your
Volkswagen Alive") I performed my first mechanical feat over
the weekend...Replaced my front disk brake pads...trivial it
may be to most - but life altering for me. Perhaps even a
religious event...!
I have this question though: Although the brakes were making
some remarkable noise before the pad change, it seems not to have
gone away after the change. Is this normal? - Is there a spray I
can use safely and effectively?
Help would be appreciated...
