I have looked at the prices on the German eBay list for the Westfalia
and T3 and T2, T4 "Wohnmobil" area and I must say that the prices are
impressive, especially now in the winter time.  There are lots of
diesel turbo ones and 1.9 and 2.1 liter ones, late 80s models with
about 100k miles and lots of repaires.  Right now there is one for
$2000 that has been fixed for almost $7000 recently.  I feel that we
are missing the boat there.  And the air tickets are so cheap
sometimes that it is not making sense that we are not doing it more
often.  Last month my friend went to Germany for $250 return.  Now if
you have your car and hotel - just what the Westy is - then you have
no real expense other then the same that you would have here anyway.
Go to eBay home page, go down to Germany, get into Auto and ..., go
down to the bottom to Wohnmobil & ..., and that is the place wher you
can see all of them.
There are Synchro Westys for $2500 and similar stuff.  And they have
all kind of Mercedes diesel and Fiat and many different ones.  It is
also fun to see them.
