My first Vanagon was a straight across trade for a cheap POS used car.
My second one was an '87 Westy w/ low miles for $600!  I sold the old
van for $600, so it actually ended up costing me ZERO!

As you say, I often see folks paying BIG bux for these vans, but I
always seem to be able to locate one.   Apparently I am particularly
skilled at locating VW's for anywhere from cheap to free.   I always
have people asking me to look for them......
