Prices are really all over the place on these. On the SF Bay Area CL,
there's a nice 1980 Westy w/rebuilt engine and new top, looks well-cared
for, for $1800. That's one thousand, eight hundred. There's also a Syncro
Westy with low miles going for $51,000, or over 28 times the price of the
1980. Sure, they're not in the same league, but for 99% of us average
campers, the $1800 model will do the same thing as the $51,000 model. And of
course there are plenty of other 2WD Westies priced from $3000 to $10,000.

I have trouble understanding what's going in the pricing of these, except I
think there may be a large difference between asking price and final sales
price. You see the same ones come up again and again, month after month.
