Let's see, That would be 72 times the amount I bought my van for. For $18k,
I think I'd rather have a (non-crackhead-owned) Westy, a Crew Cab, and a
Porsche 914 and put the rest in the bank. Better yet, I'd buy this guy's
Porsche engine and tranny and put it in my van:

Seriously, it's a hard lesson for people to learn that we often don't recoup
automotive investements, even when (especially when) the investments are
made in stuff we think is really cool. I'd be SURPRISED if the poor bugger
gets half what he's asking.
