I just went to gowesty http://www.gowesty.com/vehicle_sales.php to
check out the up scale VW prices.
On the sold list they are $24k to $86k with only one available right
now, a '90 syncro camper
http://www.gowesty.com/vehicle_details.php?id=1403 for $60k with a 110k miles.
At Sportsmobile http://sportsmobile.com/ (about half way down the
page) they have a section "For a quick cost idea", between $60k-$75k
for a NEW (2011) Ford, Chevy or Sprinter camper.
I just went to the local craigslists (Seattle WA & Portland OR) and
the Westfalias (darn few) are going for between $4k & $28k.

I really think it has to do "you". Who you are, what you like, what
you are going to do with it.
