Subject:FS Vanagon 1500 $
From:Jean-Philippe Lerda
Date:Fri, 21 Apr 2000 22:47:50 +0200

Location is Montreal.
Strange noise in my engine, diagnostic from the garage is "Change the engine
!"
I cant afford it, must sell.
Except for the engine, the van is very clean (very few rust). Wooden floor
and wooden sofa bed inside.
Year 1988. 220 000 Km on body.
Engine still runs.

1500 CAN $

Jp.
