 and just used gas.As for the value I can't say but don't think until 2010
 you can get that price. But in case you do buzz me cause the next drawing

actually, ive seen this camper at numerous vw shows, and im not commenting on
the price, but the condition is IMMACULATE... i have no ties to the owner, but
if you are looking for an aircooled vanagon westy, and want one near showroom
new, i can vouch that its in excellent shape...and it has the Carat style
vanagon factory alloys also..  nothing to gain from this posting, dont even
know the guy, i'm just commenting on the owners meticulous care in maintaining
this westy..
