If the motor and heads are good, I would think $ 4,000 to $ 7,000, depending
upon location (CA prices are usually higher).  You didn't indicate if it has
a/c.  If so, that is a bonus.

As far as the automatic, many consider this to be preferable, since the
Vanagon automatic has a good repair record.
