Subject:Opinions on the value of an 88 Westy
From:Lee Kouns

As much as we like the idea of being a two Westy family, one Westy is
all my wife and I really need. So, reluctantly, we are thinking of
selling the Westy that has taken us on many great adventures during the
last 14 years. I know that putting a value on our vans is not a precise
science, but I would appreciate your opinions on the approximate market
value of my Westy. Please mention the range of prices you think might
apply. Unless you state otherwise, I'll assume you are referring to a
private party sale. I don't need to rush the sale.
THE GOOD:
Southern California van all but this last year, gray water tank, all
camping stuff works, regular maintenance done
NEW STUFF:
tires, battery, pop top seal, skylight, engine belts
THE BAD:
head gasket seepage, another small coolant leak (exact origin unknown),
rear bumper staight but cracked, 3 very minor dings, 2 minor body
repairs made at back corners, underside of stove cover damaged but
functional
MISC.:
white with blue stripe, about 150k miles
CURRENT LOCATION: South Lake Tahoe (near Reno, Nevada)
Thanks for the input,
Lee
