Thoughts on this 85 Westy? No rust or body damage. Recent repaint that was average. Stock 1.9L and transmission was rebuilt with no documentation but idles well and drives well. Original interior is very clean with absolutely no rips. Canvas is getting thin but no rips.

Here's my thoughts, I would *never* give a link to an ad of something that I was interested in buying.

Hey, the thread is called Good Deals On Nice Vans, not Good Deals I'm Posting But Do Not Expect Anyone Else To Follow Up On. If someone innocently posts about a van s/he is interested in and does not expect one of us to be struck with an urge to contact the seller, that is simply naïve. I would not, as a rule, do that. I would also not tell you sharks about a van I have my eye on. However, if I desperately wanted van X and one appeared here I might be sorely tempted to move on it if the poster seemed to be overly cautious or waffling.

well i guess i am naive, but i always just assumed that anyone who read the thread title would only post finds that they thought were "good deals on nice vans". i also figure that if a person not familiar posts one and asks what we think of it, that is on no way an invitation to snipe the piece.but to each their own i suppose! i will continue to post awesome deals on decent vehicles for those on the hunt in this thread(like this fresh rebuild with a/c not the worst and a reasonable price for what it is: http://southjersey.craigslist.org/cto/5258411404.html ) and i would direct anyone who clearly misposts here to move their post to a more appropriate section of the samba.

I post things I like when I see them. IF I dont intend to make an offer.

Why bring more bidders to the auction?

How about the new 83 westy on the classifieds? Its in MS. Looks nice and sounds like a runner. I love a white westy.

How does this look?

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1835454

Pros: fresh exterior paint, rebuilt engine, overall looks very clean
Cons: he doesn't have documentation of the engine rebuild, or really anything else. high mileage on the body.

How much weight should I put on the cons? Is it work ~$20k?

As a reminder:

The whole purpose of this thread was to alert those who are looking for a van to any deals that the rest of us might come across.
Kind of a Samba members help club.

It has been abused by those who are trying to sell their overpriced vans by self promotion. You know. "Hey, look at this great deal I'm selling!"

If you are looking for a van and post here with the deal you are looking at, then yes, that is naive.
Better to post a thread with some detail but no specifics like this person has:

I think you guys take too dim a view of our membership.
There may be a few snipers out there but I think if someone posted a van they are interested in , the odds of one of these asshats being close enough to ruin some guys deal are slim.
I think its way smarter for some newbie to take that risk and get solid advice from those of us who have more experience.

The real risk is buying a money pit, not getting sniped.

if it's a great deal then it'll be gone before you can view it.
if it's still available 2+days.. then it's not a great deal.

play the shell game accordingly.

and yes I've posted a few in here. but not the ones I've gone to look at myself.. (which has been a while anyways..) I have too many already.
