Vanagons are pretty rare in Florida but there doesn't
seem to be much of a demand for them. $8k is a decent
price for one, but its tough to find a buyer down here
for any vehicle without operational A/C. That factor
alone will take $1000-$2000 off the price.
Non-functioning A/C it turns into a seasonal
(Nov-Feb), or a hobby vehicle and unuseable the rest
of the year as basic transporation. A camper can only
be used seasonally unless you have a stand-alone A/C
unit for camping.

On the positive side, they typically won't have any
rust and the drivetrain and brakes lead a pretty easy
life since they don't have to deal with hills very
often.

And no matter what color the pop-top originally was,
eventually it will return to the proper poptop color,
white (at least in spots).:>)
