Once again I almost got a heart attack while watching the photos.

These gems landing on a wreckyard in the U.S., while these items are over
1000$ used in germany, where they were produced (jumpseats and A/C)

Our yards only have naked delivery Vanagon�s. Everything that�s not Vanagon
standard won�t be found on ANY yard here. Everything would be parted out and
sold before the Van goes to the yard.

A/C? super-rare and 500$ used
Jumpseats? Another 500$

Normally it would have to be the other way: All Vanagon�s luxury parts cheap
in germany (were they come from and should be common), EVERY Vanagon part in
the U.S. rare and expensive.

You lucky guys...

Raimund
