I'm a newbie to the list and a 55-south wannabee.  I've been reading your
stuff for some time and have found a '90 non-Westie conversion that I am
interested in buying.

A few weeks ago one of the volks posted a wonderful list of what one should
look at when buying a used van.  Unfortunately, I erased it and it doesn't
seem to be in the archives.  Would whoever it was please pmail it to me
(today, if possible)?  My office address is jmmaly@jordandrews.com
(California time zone)  and my home address is jeannemaly@msn.com.

The seller is a patient kind of guy, but I would hate to miss a great
opportunity by procrastinating.  I'm also afraid to buy without knowing the
condition of the things that seem to repeat and repeat on the list.  I will
probably take it to AAA for diagnostics.  I know that VW also does
diagnostics.  Which do you think would be better?

TIA
