Hold out for a few more months and you'll be able to get a better price.
In the interim period you can wear thermal underwear and get some of
those 12v electric socks from the BMW motorcycle dealer.
I'm in Texas and I bought one 83 Westy seven years ago for $2000.00. It
has been well worth it since it was a very good, one owner, well
maintained vehicle.
However I've restored about four 80-83 Westies and sold them in the
$3500.00 range. The sorrowful thing is that I've wrecked out about four
Vanagons of 80-83 Vintage for parts and I've never paid more than $250.00
for any of the Vanagons and some of them ran pretty good.
