In my unending search for the worth of a westy here's a quick comparison
of values for three westies by Kelley Blue Book <kbb.com> and NADA
<nada.com>

N.A.D.A                        Kelley

84 westy, 100,000 miles              $3,800
$6,400
89 westy syncro, 75,000 miles    $8,000 to $11,400          $19,015
91 westy syncro, 75,000 miles    $10,280 to $13,950        $22,800

These are prices from their web pages. Banks and insurance companies
have all quoted a lower NADA value than the NADA web page which is
dramatically lower than Kelley.

To date I've not found any of the ten banks contacted using or even
hearing of Kelley Blue book. They all use NADA. Same thing with the
insurance companies. All use NADA. Contacted NADA's California office
about pricing on vanagon campers and they said they no longer price
them. Also never heard of the "syncro"......

Talked to a salesman at a local VW dealer and he'd heard of Kelley but
they don't use it.

Lesson to be learned...... Don't let trees fall on your westy!
