Just wanted to point out a few vanagons I came across over the weekend in
Salt Lake City.

Neither one will win an appearance award. First one is hit on the
passenger side, not deeply dented, but more scratched and dinged about 1/3
up from the back. Rust on both rear wheel wheels. The guy says it used to
run and now he cannot get it started. He wants $500 for it. Interior is
messy, but might clean up well. The van is blue, the interior is blue.
Probably better for parts than a fixer, but whatever makes  you happy.
About 4800 South State, west side of the road.

The other is a yellow westy diesel, 82 I think. Its behind the fence, so
us evening browsers cannot get to it. The drivers side is a nice
advertisement for not doing your own bondo :) and I didn't get much of a
look inside. $2900 Jerry Combs dealer, 1100 South State, IIRC

Just thought I would pass it on as there seem to be so few vanagons of any
condition around here for sale. I wish there were more, as I love to look
at em and dream about actually having money :-)
