If Sally were for sale nearby I'd be tempted. �The Mopar dog-and-lumber minivan needs a lot of attention and replacement has been discussed. �We're not camping this year (move) and does not look like we might (new old house mods and family obligations) so the Westy is doing some commuting, and a nice automatic (getting-old people ankles, knees and hips) in an attractive package like this could easily end up in the new driveway. �I'd be seriously tempted, but not for twice the money. �I hope this van finds a nice home.

Stephen

� You guys!� Sheesh,� � We are the ones who are talking ourselves into
thinking Vanagons are some kinda valuable rare collector car....US...right
here on Vanagon List.�  $3k for a minivan of any sort, that old, that is
not that great a deal....It's OK, but a "smokin' deal'?�  Depends on what
you are smokin...

� But hey, if for some reason people are starting to pay really big bucks
for these Vanagons...that's cool with me....When the time comes, (a long
time from now)� I can cash mine in and be able to turn the money to a 4wd
Safari with an LT-1 motor, locker tranny and a 5sp..... and� spend some
more of the money making a nice powerful sturdy and trouble-free camper van
using really exotic woods and have bomb-proof suspension and drive line
built out .......Or buy a crapped out Sprinter (they'll be around by the
time I get ready to sell my inline tintop westfakia)

�  If I were in the market today for a Vanagon, I'd be looking hard and
long to find one I thought was worth buying.� I certainly wouldn't just
write a check for what people here seem to think they're now worth....Maybe
I have Northwest Vanagon Euni....I see dozens daily and many of them are
rust free beaters being driven with loathing by people who'd rather have a
Camry but can't afford one...
Grin...I am being a troll, I guess.
