for what it's worth,,

the Seattle Times/PI usually has a good number of vanagons/westy's for sale as
well. vanagon.com has a link to it, as I don't have it handy right now. I went
thru the sunday paper (the old-fashioned hard copy no less) and saw 15 or so
vanagons and prolly a dozen westy's, and a scattering of syncro's, more or
less. I think I remember a crew cab splitty, but sunday was a long time ago, so
no promises.
