Subject:** FS: '82 Westy- No Mechanical Repairs Needed/Good Body/Interior **

Hi,

If you're located in California- near the Central Coast (San Luis Obispo) or are willing to drive a bit:

I have an '82 Westfalia (brown/white top) in great mechanical condition (doesn't need any mechanical repairs)

- overall good body and interior (everything works/is complete) no rust 

- some damage to the driver's door (by previous owner, swiped something) which is pushed in, but opens/closes fine (window is hard to roll-down more than 1/2-way) and a dinged up rear bumper (both ends are "pinched")..

- 50K on rebuilt engine and transmission (no original receipts, but, a signed statement from the original owner attesting to this) I have seen the original receipt for the tranny (whown to me by mechanic who did job) Same mechanic did work on VW (VW Certified) from 1982 - 1997..

- everything else (mechanically) has been rebuilt over the past 20K, ie. brakes, exhaust system, emissions equipment, new clutch (1K ago), motor mounts (200 miles ago, along with some other repairs/welding to re-inforce the mount brackets)

- cv boots/joints are in good condition (no cracks in boots)

- always driven carefully, oil changed religiously (Castrol "Syntec" 5W/50) and full-synthetic "Redline" in the transmission (just replaced 1K ago)..

- Have owned for 2.5 years and I'm selling in order to buy a new car/don't go camping often enough to warrant having this vehicle- not a lemon, great running vehicle, never had any problems with it.. Ready for daily driving and camping.. Just needs some minimal bodywork (door) and either the rear bumper hammered out, or replaced..

- if you'd like to take a gander at 'er, please arrange with me for an appointment, also, if you have a certified mechanic you'd like to bring along or would like to bring this VW into a shop to have it looked over, I'm more than willing to do this with pre-arrangement..

** $4500.00 **
