Exactly what I was going to write! $42k is probably about right for this one. I sold an '87 Westy last year that had 62k original miles and a few more upgrades for $32.5k Cheers, Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Jim Felder Sent: Wednesday, May 06, 2015 10:42 AM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Re: Exceptional Westy for sale A lot of the problems that come with old age in a car are probably related to heat and heat cycles. I'm betting that if this has been kept indoors or at a stable temperature, hardly run, and out of the sun, it's likely in pretty good shape. Maybe not as good as it looks, but a lot better than one with high mileage.
