I have found that the NADA price guides <http://www.nada.com> are a
bit more accurate.

fer instance...

1982 Westfalia

Low retail: $3275
Avg retail: $4875
High retail: $7400

1987 Syncro Westfalia

L: $3800
A: $5625
H: $8350

Those prices look fairly "real" to me.

KBB: <http://www.kbb.com>
(no listings for anything earlier.)

1987 Syncro GL Camper 5 speed 210,000 miles "Good" condition

L: $5080
A: $7020
H: $10750 (assumes "Excellent condition" IOW, GoWesty price.)

And about 20 more pages to get the values....

Neither of these sites covered my Diesel Westy....

As always YMMV.
