Dealers usually mark up 30% over what they have into a vehicle,
including what they bought it for and any repairs or safety required
upgrades.    You can usually negotiate, but for rare vehicles you don't
have a lot of leverage.

As far as west and east goes, western Vanagons typically have no rust,
and camping is more popular, plentiful and pleasant here due to low
humidity and few insects in the summer!  I had never heard of the need
for a side door screen until I joined this list.  I don't even carry my
screens, any of them!
Hence, the prices are higher, but look at what Todd in NC has been
finding in the east.  Still overpriced, and junk to boot!
