Subject:Accident/Insurcance Q: Value of Westy with 1.9 turbo Diesel?
From:Martin Jagersand
Date:Fri, 16 Jul 2004 19:20:04 -0600

As I posted a couple of weeks ago, my '82 Westy with a 1.9TD conversion
was sideswiped by someone going through a red light. Like some of you
correctly advised, dealing with the insurance company requires patience
and careful preparation.

My key problem now is to prove that a Westy camper with a 1.9TD conversion
doesn't go for peanuts, and that the 1.9l turbo Diesel engine is an
addition which significantly affects the value. Has anyone on the
done 1.9l turbo Diesel conversions to vans for sale? If so what did
those vans sell for?

Thanks for any help or insights.

Martin (with a sadly dented Westy).
