I haven't heard from Brad yet. And, I want to know what everyone thinks.

The http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2421959367&category=15296&rd=1 ends in 5 hours. I want it. We looked locally, and there isn't much of a "quality" selection. Higher mileage, run down, dirty, etc.

I really want Brads opinion, but will settle for anyone's (no offense). Brads got the charity money. What should I do? Bid? My dad can fly down, and drive back.

Cant wait too much longer... We NEED a van

Like a 914, if it's solid and clean, then go for it! Even minor mechanical stuff can be dealt with later.

How much will it cost to be fitted for a wheelchair? Will Medicare cover part of that?

Oh.. how much will one of these things tow?

You bought a car on ebay without having driven it and without a PPI? This is the same way people get burned on 914s. I hope it works out well though.

Dave, you sniped that van!
Way to go

Prolly like $5K, give or take a few hundred.

No way. Medicare won't IIRC. Had a hard enough time get'n them to cover my chair. Besides, I have exceeded my limit for '03



Had to. Snuck in a bid



They seem reputable (sp?) Lots of positive feedback. I have bought 2 vehicles and sold 2 vehicles; and a Harley all on eBay All have been satisfactory. I had multiple conversations w/ the seller, and felt comfy bidding.

Trust is a two way street

Congratulations Dave

Buying the nice red VW van was the easy part.
Now you have to decide what to put on the license plate.

why need a wheelchair lift- just put in on bags, and slam it when you want to get in and out. Fraimrails on the ground.....

the only thing i have heard about the wassers is to check the ph of the coolant frequently. i believe there is a sacraficial (sp) anode in the cooling system that needs replacement every once and a while. (clear mb coolant has a close to neutral ph)

maybe some fiberglass running boards and flares with a palm tree painted on the side.
