Subject: Vanagon mentioned in Automobile Mag

Hey everyone.  The 86-91 VW Vanagon is featured in Automobile Magazine's
"Depreciation Corner" article in the August 2000 issue.  Page 20 for the
eager.  A good, although brief article, which describes the Vanagon as a
sufficiently luxurious precursor to the mini-van and the SUV when in synchro
form.  The article mentions the head gasket weakness... in summary the
Synchro Westy is described as "providing nearly all the luxuries of a
motorhome, with go-nearly-anywhere capabilities, all in an environmentally
sensible size at a reasonable price.  They state the current value range for
the 86-91 Vanagon (base to Synchro-westy) at $5000.-$22000.
