I got this e-mail from someone who saw Pokey on my website. Thoughts? Opinions? Let me know and I'll flip the replies to him. I already told him to subscribe to the list.

Thanks,
Chris

hi !

You seam to know everything about the Westfalia, nice one you have by the way...
My name is Vincent , i just arrived in California and has an opportunity to aquire the same model as yours: could you help me out ?

Value wise i am a bit concerned.
caracteristics are as follows:
- 99800 miles
- air cooled obviously...
- engine in excellent condition,
- pop-up tent good,
- some spots of rust but nothing major,

- heater out of order,
- gears a bit noisy,
- need to check the stove and fridge...

- fly at 65mph
- don`t consume much petrol
- never travelled much i guess...but just got back from Santa Barbara, on the way in, the rain was mad but still the van was docile; in all the trip lasted 5 houres each way and all went fine...

so finally i have been offered US$3500...
i assume it`s a good ops but still a lot of checking to submit!

please let me know wht you think!

in advance THXXX
Bye
                                Vincent
