This might be pushing the boundaries of "nice van" since it sounds like it may need a new transmission but I have not seen a '88 go for 6.5k. I've seen them go for more with no engine...

That one is almost definitely gone by now. I texted last night and called earlier today with no response. I am sure North-Westy, Peace Vans and anyone else with a trailer and $500 are all over it and have probably already picked it up.

From the seller:
"Since we bought her, we put a new engine in. The old engine had 100,000 and the new has 40,000 miles. Automatic Trans has not been rebuilt yet. As all older cars, she has a couple of things that I want to disclose. She has a steering fluid leak, the radio and clock don't work and the transmission stick is missing a little piece. We have never been in an accident, but it has some dents from the previous owners. There is a little rust in one of the corners, but in NM this is not an issues because of the dry conditions."

Seems like it could be a great deal. |

Some better photos would be nice, but it looks like a solid start at a reasonable price even if they are non negotiable.

Agreed.
If I hadn't just scooped-up a 1990 Multivan, I'd be chasing this one.

$1500.00 Seattle (renton). Tin Top
http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/cto/5514131285.html
From Ad:
Less than 50k on rebuilt 2.1 water cooled. Runs great.
New cv axels fuel pump and starter.
Was my daily driver for last 8 months.
No room for it anymore as I got a newer van.
Comes with center seat and a set of snow tires, rims , and snow chains.
This old bus has nearly 450 k on the body. Still has a lot of life left.
All the glass is good except the front windshield which has a few cracks.
Back end makes into a queen size bed.
This is a cool old vw van. I drove it back and forth to Salem Oregon 9 times in the past 2 years with no issues. Pure fun.
Also comes with a shop manual.
Odometer cable broken on Mother's Day 2015.
Has HID headlights.

I don't know if this belongs in this category or not, you decide. I'm usually lurking in the late model beetle and thing forums but I thought I ought to give a heads up on this vanagon I came across while buying a beetle from a guy.
He told me $1000 for each but took $800 for the beetle, might take less for the van too? Sorry for the dark pictures hard to get the camera phone to work good in the barn but this thing looks really good for rust belt Illinois. Some info and pics part way down in my post about the beetle here:

Okay, who got it!? I was trying, but the seller told me a local-ish person showed up and grabbed it.

Me too! We had committed and were in process for payment, but I guess whoever shows up at the door with the cash wins. Let us know ~ nice score.

I just sent an email inquiring about what appears to be the same van in the Atlanta area, the response was that it is his brothers. Too bad I included my email address. :cry: Glad I checked here soonly after the fact |

Now that 'burner' phones are almost illegal, how long until burner emails are?
