This is more interesting than mileage, eh? '85 Westy, bought in '86 with 6K miles on it for $13,200. '84 7 pass, bought around '95, along with an '85 for $2000. Neither van had a running (or repairable) engine. Installed an engine from my garage. Probably not the best investment of my life, but using the '85 for parts worked out well. '88 7 pass, bought this March for $800 with a working engine setting on the deck lid. Had to put on the water pump and other peripherals and install it. Seems to be running OK now, though ther is an oil leak (small) which drips onto the front exhaust pipe and stinks (ugh!). After a few major maintenence items are performed on the '84, it will most likely be relocated to the Seattle area so I have something to drive when I fly up there looking for employment for myself and for Stephanie. We don't need three vans in the driveway here in Phoenix. Karl Wolz
