This one showed up on e-Bay a couple of days ago:

1993 VW Pop Top Westfailia. White with grey cloth. No rust. The interior
looks brand new. All the curtains and screens are in excellent condition.
Canvas looks new with no rips or tears. This camper has the following
options: Automatic, table, quad seating, front brawl, cruise control, power
steering, duel A/C, weekender package, premium sound and many other options.
Mechanically it is excellent condition. Buyer pays all shipping cost. Must
be paid in full within 7 days. Compresion is 130 across the board. Trany
shifts great. 196K miles but you would never know it by the way it runs and
looks. Sleeping for four. In the neer future it could use a timing belt,
drive belt, and motor mount. The cruise control and power door locks do not
work. A tiny hole in the middle muffler, but is not noisy. I would feel safe
driving it to New York as it sits. Kelly Blue Book is over $13,000 in
Washington. Washington residents will pay sales tax and other fees.If you
feel I had mislead you, you will not be held to purchase. Bid with
confidence! Pictures will be added in couple of days. I can also have the
defects fixed for a reasonable price.

The bids start at $7,000, and he has none so far.  Check the photos out at:

196,000 miles.  Lots of miles...  What says the list?  At around $7500 to
snag it, plus another grand to ship it -- worth thinking about?

Thanks.

(I really am trying to resolve this mess.)
