All I'm saying is my advice would be not to be too hasty. Many people have
and raise 2 children with excellent results. But if you are dead set on selling
I hear Angelina Jolie will pay top dollar.

On a more serious note Wow! that's a lot of money. I've seen a sweet Mercedes
Benz Sprinter camper running around Hollywood over the past few weeks. Looks
like leather interior, a nice camping package inside--and when I say camping I
mean like resort camping. Looks like you can get into one of them brandy new
and outfitted for about $60K. Sure it doesn't have the charm of a westy, but
with the $20K you save you can buy one of those WESTFALIA stickers and pretend.

You need 4WD? This one looks sweet:

Either way I've got an 83.5 Westy with the lighter and more agile 2WD which
is always ont he market for $80K. And I'll include the link to recommended
repair shops around the country ;)

Best,
