I spoke with the guy; his name is Ted. I believe the van is sold, since it's no longer on CL, but not sure of that.

He sent me additional pics: it has a good sized dent beneath the right front turn signal, a large but minor dent in the slider, and a bit of rust over the right rear wheel arch.

It has a 1.8L in-line engine mounted to a diesel bell housing. He says it runs OK, but has only been driven a few miles in the last ten years. Has about 170K on the clock.

Pop top needs to be replaced - major holes.

If he still has it, I'm still interested in it.

So, you're going for the one thing that Craigslist makes a big deal of not doing -- sending money. I would not.
