I've a friend who works in a pawn shop. I asked his what my 88 GL is
worth at pawn. He said it was'n pawnable. I asked him "what do you
mean?" He said, they have so little standing that they are simply not
worth the effort  for us. If we had to take title on a pawned Vanagon to
recover our money, trouble in dealing with it simply would not be worth
it. We would be better off spending our energy on something else that we
can move easier. We don't want our money tied up out front in a vehicle
for which there is no market. The name of the game for us is to turn
over our money, and it doesn't happen with Vanagons..

I thought that was interesting!!!
