A friend of mine has been shopping around (southern Calif) for a Vanagon
& is currently looking at an 87 Wolfsburg Ed. Vanagon (although her
dream vehicle would be a red 90 or 91 Vanagon Carat).  I haven't seen if
myself.  Original owner asking $5900 for it.  What I've been told about
it:

It's an automatic w/89,000 miles on original engine. Heads, head gasket
& air flow meter have recently been replaced.

Any advice on whether it's a good buy considering the head work recently
done to it.  Also anything else to ask or look for would be greatly
appreciated.  Please respond to me directly.  Thanks
