As you may know, the early water-cooled vans (the first was in mid
'82) had a lot of problems with overheating although the later models
seem to have been less afflicted.  I'd question the seller closely on
this point.  After learning about the heat problems of these
"vasserboxers" on this list, I opted to by the last air-cooled, an '81
Vanagon.  The above for what it's worth.  Cheers, Art
