Subject:Re: What's a nice 90 worth?
Date:Tue, 9 Sep 2008 12:02:20 EDT

its worth whatever you can get for it.

the '90-'91  tornado red  wolfsburg carats were kinda rare, the US version of
the LLE..

ive seen really nice carats go for $10 grand...  and then ive seen some not
so nice go for $1500..

there are no set prices on these things..  its whatever the market, or the
buyer, wants to pay.

dont let someone tell you your van is only worth "3-4" grand because thats
all they have to pay or feel its worth.

its all about condition, originality, upgrades and whatever you can get for
them..
