Subject:Fair Price for an 88 Westy
From:Fast, Timothy

With much sadness I think the time has come to sell my Westy.  I know
that the prices for a Vanagon vary depending on the region of the
country you are located in.  In the Mid-West (Iowa) they are quite rare.
Anyway I am wondering what would be a fair price to ask.  Here are the
details:

1988 Vanagon Camper GL
Wolfram Gray
80,000 miles
(I am the original owner)
No rust at all
No body damage at all
Full camper interior with everything in working order.
A/C (however it has two leaks and the freon has been drained and the
system sealed to protect the compressor)
Hieldelberg Stereo Cassette w/ 6 speaker system
Cruise control
Electric mirrors (heated)
Set of snow tires for the rear in addition to the regular tires.
Trickle charger built into AC hookup w/ voltmeter.
Windshield is cracked in the upper right corner.

Is it worth it to have the windshield replaced ($350)?
Is it worth it to have the A/C fixed ($650 or $1,500 to adapt to R134)?

Thanks for any input.
