The ad sounds like a passenger van owner who's slightly bemused (*choke*) by the drastic difference between  passenger Vanagon and Westy resale values.

It reminded me of the idea I had about putting up my '59 VW Bus emblem for sale as a "23 window samba in need of restoration" for $2000.

Subject: Fake campers, etc.

Folks seen this? http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/pts/493688664.html
I�ve learned to ask tons of questions before driving many miles to
 see a vanagon Westy �camper� that turns out to be a multivan (no
 camping equipment, just poptop) � or another �westy� that had camping
 equipment but no pop-top!
Always get pictures before wasting your time.  How stupid do some of
 these sellers think we are or are they just interested in wasting our
 time?
