I haven't heard from Brad yet. And, I want to know what everyone thinks.
The Eurovan 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 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_rolli_1.gif) |

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? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) -Rusty |

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.

QUOTE How much will it cost to be fitted for a wheelchair? Will Medicare cover part of that? 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 QUOTE Dave, you sniped that van! Had to. Snuck in a bid (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) QUOTE 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. They seem reputable (sp?) Lots of positive feedback. I have bought 2 vehicles and sold 2 vehicles; and a Harley all on eBay (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) All have been satisfactory. I had multiple conversations w/ the seller, and felt comfy bidding. Trust is a two way street (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

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

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. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
