I hope some of you on the list might be able to help me.  I bought a 1985
vanagon 7 passenger van last November for $2000.  I have driven it daily &
just returned from a long trip to Missouri from Sacramento
Calif. with no problems.  I am moving to Washington state soon and already
have another car & motorhome so the van has to be sold.  I do not know how
much to ask for it & I know it is hard to tell someone what it is worth
without seeing or driving it.  It has 207 thousand miles on it, it runs real
good & has no head gasket leaks.  It has pretty good Michelins, good steering
& brakes.  The interior is good but could stand cleaning.  It has A/C & a
blaupunkt stereo.  It is far from perfect, but a dependaable good running van.
It has pwr steering & brakes but I suppose they all did.  It is silver w/ blue
& silver interior.  It starts instantly & runs strong.  It could stand new
valve cover gaskets but I have been too busy to put them on.  What would you
think would be the minimum amount to ask for it?  I need to sell it fast as I
am moving soon.  I have clear title in my name.  If any of you can even make a
guestimate as to the value, I would sure appreciate it.  Also, it is a
California car with no rust, althought it does have a very small ding in the
upper sliding door.  Thank you all.   Lonnie
