well, gowesty now lists the prices they bought the original rigs for. you
see a westy coming in for 5500$ they mark it up by 20% and then repair it
until it costs 28000$. i am sure that makes vanagons interesting to a group
of people that would otherwise not drive such an old vehicle, but i prefer
to have 20k$ in my pocket for a little less reliability. but maybe this will
change if i ever earn a lot of money, who knows?
i respect gowestys work, what annoys me is that so many vanagons ads
nowadays say "what a bargain at 18k$,  look at gowesty they sell the same
rig for 28k$"   yeaah except gowesty put 20k$ in repairs in......
