^^^ No amount of legal pot use could explain that kind of stupid (referring to the first ad for the many dented van that had a “paint job” three months ago).

Wow! For a teacher the grammar, syntax and spelling in that ad are all atricious.
Maybe get Dave to zip over there and check it out? New Jersey's pretty small, right?

This ad has been running for months off and on around here. Lots of detail by what must be a devoted owner/seller and lots of restrictions and stipulations, but not one photo or mention of photos. And the ask is not cheap. Van might be worth it, but couldn't the guy post even one photo?
https://richmond.craigslist.org/cto/d/1989-volkswagen-vanagon-gl/6383109167.html
1989 Volkswagen Vanagon GL Carat Wolfsburg Edition White Star - $8250
1989 Volkswagen Vanagon GL
VIN: WV2YB0256KH071814
condition: good
cylinders: 4 cylinders
drive: rwd
fuel: gas
odometer: 190000
paint color: white
size: full-size
title status: clean
transmission: manual
type: van
Vanagon body overall in good condition with a few very small, very light dents. Small rust patches around several of the windows (classic VW Vanagon window rust --- look it up on the internet). I have purchased --- but not yet installed --- rubber seals for all windows. Original sliding door replaced with older Vanagon model year door (similar to original but without electric door lock functionality).
Interior seats covered with aftermarket covers. Front seat captains chair armrests removed --- but included in sale. Original Owners Manual included (some missing pages) - with remaining individual pages protected in plastic page inserts. Also included is a 12 page VW Owners Maintenance Manual - shows original purchase date of new 1989 Vanagon as May 6, 1990 --- sold by Hagestad Volkswagen in Thornton, Colorado. During my ownership the Vanagon has been kept in smoke free environment.
I am the 5th owner of this 1989 Volkswagen Vanagon GL. The early owners apparently lived out west (new dealer sold vehicle in 1990). The 4th owner was my neighbor's son (near Richmond, VA) --- who bought the van in the 2000-2001 timeframe. He had the engine rebuilt in Denver (a very solid rebuild job) just before I bought it from him. Van mileage is 190,000.
From 2001 through 2017, I have steadily replaced many parts in the Vanagon. Some were necessary repairs but many were replacements that I carried out because I simply wanted to improve the future reliability of the van --- and because the components were still available and relatively cheap at the time (no longer the case for many of the parts that I purchased early in my ownership history).
The van has current 2017 Virginia Inspection
Replaced parts include but are not limited to the following components:
2017 Update
(1) New Muffler installed May 2017
(2) New (Rebuilt Bosch) Starter Motor installed May 2017

2016 Update
(1) New (rebuilt) transmission installed --- May 2016
Purchased from German Transaxles --- Bend, Oregon
(2) New Shifter Kit installed --- August 2016
Purchased from GoWesty
(3) New Rear Brake Drums Installed --- August 2016
(4) New Rear Brake Cylinders Installed --- August 2016
(5) New Tires --- August 2016

Does anyone know where I can find a door gasket that goes around the front door hinge? It absorbs some of the shock when shutting the door. I would be happy with new or used. It's in a "u" shape

Maybe Sleepyjoe? With 15 pages of parts it seems he may have some lying around:

This one dropped to $900 overnight some time. I would guess it is worth that much for the top and a few of the kitchen bits, but I am not buying it.

People are getting goofy! Is this price for two vans or one? Body damage, rust, needs paint job, canvas, front end bushings (and who knows what else!).."a little wiggle on negotiating a price". $40,000 for a 2WD needing all this?
