Hello, I'm new to the list (joined this weekend). I've reached the age where
I need to re-live the times of my youth, i.e. get another VW van. Back in
the late 70's I had a '72 Transporter (not a camper). Many weekends my
college pals and I would head off to the wilds and enjoy the joys of
camping. Ever since those days I dreamed of owning a VW camper.

For some yet unknown reason I started my search this weekend for a camper.

I found the following;

- 1984 Vanagon Camper.
- 2nd owner. I'd be the third.
- 225,000 miles. Make two trips to Alaska.
- Some surface rust, no rust thru.
- Stove, sink, fridge all working.
- Popup fabric in good shape.
- Assorted collection of dings and scrapes for a van of this age.
- New Tires.
- New battery.
- New A/C Compressor.
- The Bad news...Engine is dead, very dead, like all the oil drained out
while driving and engine froze up causing MAJOR damage.

Owner is asking $1500 o.b.o.

Is this a fair price? If not what would?
