Matt,

It will be way slower than any car you have ever owned.

It will be more fun than any car you have ever owned.

I thought that my 73 Westfalia was slow, but these are sluggish in a whole
different league. Plenty of time to ponder.

$6,495.00 might be reasonable if it is showroom new. One that I wanted very
badly, and 83 Air-cooled MT Westfalia went for around $5,500.00. It was
perfect with 80K and no rust.

They are far superior campers to the Baywidows. In every way.
