I would bet it depends on the dealer and the area they're in.  Here in
Ventura, CA, there's Wasserboxers all over the place galore, so there's a
market.  In Missouri, it may be a different story (I spent two days driving
thru MO last April and didn't see nary a Vanagon at all).

The dealer's actual cost (to them) for the Autobahn "Blue Stuff" is
currently $10.26 and so with their markup is the $17.10 + $1.24 CA Sales Tax
(from Barber VW Ventura) I posted earlier.
