According to an inflation calculator I checked, if you spent $24K on a westfalia new in 1990, the cost in todays money would be $42,000.� 
The Nissan is $64K and it has everything and more that the Westfalia crowd lusts over.

*�They must have been reading this list for most wanted necessities and options:
�
17" wheels, AC,�cab AC,�317HP motor, Head lights, air-bags, traction control, contemporary radio, Remote locks, 4 HD disk brakes, hitch receiver w/ wiring (you can tow!), 3�rear seat belts, �5-speed auto, cruises down the highway�turning at 2K-rpm,�power windows-tinted, coach battery, micro, 12v fridge ,exterior storage(running board), water heater,� Grey water tank, �front seat bed option, outside shower, cruise control, tilt wheel, compass and exterior temp display, ABS and limited slip, 45 cubic feet of storage, and for Dave McK, in Texas, I don't see a pesky roof sky-light.
�
Looks like it gets about same gas mileage as a Vanagon or better.
