Default 88 Vanden Plas

I have a 1988 VDP That i Had illusions of Grander buying. Bought it From Inland Florida. Was originally sold in Santa Barbera, California. I'm the second owner picked it up from Evil -Bay last fall for likely to much? This is A Great running, Driving car, Needs love all around though, All Small stuff for someone in the know i'm sure. Need After reading through several threads here i've found it needs rear end lubrication as it has started to make noise in the 2k miles i've driven it since just before Christmas. No no that's not all, needs brakes done all around,Fuel filler catch release is inop aswell. Trunk struts need replaced. Front passenger window only operates from the drivers side switch. Rear door exterior handles are not functional,can only open rear doors from the inside,rear speakers under seats need replaced as these are dry rotted. Hood rubs into front grill when opening hood. has several scratches on the hood from this. Car has 163k miles, But runs and drives beautifully IMHO. Oil has been changed, Has New Battery, Starts Very easily. Car has Zero Rust. I have put Lucas oil fuel additive since i got it was told it has always been used from day one with this car. Sunroof works well. Headliner needs love, is less than perfect but all tucked behind the trim panels. Drivers seat as you might expect with this many miles could use recovering. Air works well, Heat does aswell, Heated seats work as they should. Tires have 50-60 % tread life left.
That's about all i know, IF you have a ?'s not listed here Please PM me i can take and e-mail any pic's you may require. So Is anyone willing to step up and love this car the way it deserves to be? If you need to talk pm me.
I need a Step Van! Thanks in advance for any interest Rich Bring offers! What's it worth?
That may well be the longest sentance in recorded history. Ha ha

Hi Rich,

Does this mean you no longer want the speakers or the trunk struts that I have been holding for you? If not please let me know so that I can pitch them in the trash. Good luck selling the car.

Best regards and cheers ------ Chris

GO PATRIOTS!!!!!

Rich,

I am afraid your Spidey Sense is a bit off. I spent almost 3 hours removing the speakers from each of the doors and both speakers underneath the rear seat for you. The trunk struts only took me a few minutes but I feel like I am already behind the eight ball so anything more on my end would be foolish. Fortunately I am not out any money just my time.

Good Luck selling the car though ------- Chris

Hello Chris, Sorry i havn't gotten back to you asyet. Yes my desire for these parts is real. Unfortunately my spending wings have been clipped for a while. Momma says i can't spend a dime until i have covered the debts just made over the last few weeks. Again i'm sorry i know only $100 but i'll be forced to live in the garage if i get them right now. I'll try again after some time passes. Hope your not put out much by this? I will try my best to make it up to you. Rich

Four are for your doors and one speaker is just an extra for you for down the road. The other two speakers are for the kick panels in the rear seat. They are not OE but an aftermarket Pioneer brand that sounds good. If you still are wanting the parts just send me $100 through PayPal to christopherhelbing@hotmail.com and give me your mailing address so that I can get them in the mail to you.

Best regards and Happy Holidays ------- Chris


Hello Chris i knew i had something left undone when we left. Yes i do want these items. If it's not to much can we do something post holidays? I get back home on the 3rd. am at post office now checking e-mails and such. Thank You for the well wishes and Happy Christmas &New Year to You & Yours Rich
