Durby,

California prices are unique, so this may not be a fair comparison.  I
bought my 87 Vanagon Wolfsburg in January 1995 for $6500.  It had 80k
miles on it and a brand new engine.  I bought it at the dealer who had
done the engine replacement and also got a 12 mo/12k mile warranty.  If
that van were here (Louisiana), I'd think the price a little high (not
too far off tho).  As it is in California, it's probably fair.  Before
purchasing it, however, I'd really recommend taking it for a long test
drive (at least an hour of good driving to get it completely warmed).
