here's the stuff that's out in the FAQ. the "best" pricing info you can get
for your area is available at the bank or credit union ... call their loan
people and ask how much they'll loan on the car.

hmmmm. 114K. that's just about as much as my 88. it's not REALLY "dual" a/c
... you should have a big long duct up the middle of the roof, but all the
a/c stuff is in the back. all the GL models after about 86 or so had that
Weekender rear seat. it's something that should have been in ALL the buses
from day 1!!! :) i love it!
