For what it's worth, from window sticker:

November 3, 1985, Chris Motors, Decatur, GA
1985 Westy (Vanagon GL Camper on the sticker)   17,190
Bronze Beige clearcoat metallic 350
AM/FM Stero cassette    575
Rear window wiper/washer        160
Center swivel seat w/ storage   250
Air conditioning        990
Destination charge 320

Total   $19,835

I got it from original owner in Feb 1999 for $5500 with 65,000 miles.
It had been in a garage most of its life and was in great shape.  I
now have about 85,000 miles on him (George) and have had no garage,
so it has a little wear on it, but still runs well, and I love it.  I
have had to use it for a daily driver for most of the past year which
I don't like, but can't avoid right now.  Hope to correct that by end
of Summer.

 From what I see on the list, I think I could get more now than I paid for it.

Also I don't see too many Vanagons or Westy Vanagons around Atlanta either.

Jim in Atlanta
