Yes, agree, it's high, even for Seattle. But in talking with the owner, it's
just a starting point for negotiating. They would be surprised to sell it
for that much. The owner doesn't seem to know a whole lot about Vanagon's,
it was her parents van. And obviously she didn't know about our excellent
resource.

                Wow! $12,000.00!! Just for grins I ran this through Kelly
and your neighbor
                has it priced about $500.00 over what a dealer would charge
for one in
                excellent condition, ie, no minor rust or dings as you said
this one had. And
                of course, this allows for advertising, commisions,
warranty, etc., costs
                which a private seller doesn't have. 'Course, he may still
get it. Good luck
                to him.     Jeff
