Subject:      value of 85 vanagon westfalia?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed

Hi All,

I've got an '85 vanagon camper that I will be selling and I'm curious what
it's worth.  Edmonds has it at $3,861(retail) and $1,849 (trade-in).  NADA
is a bit higher at $3,975 (retail) and $2,450 (wholesale).

It's a typical camper, gold, w/all the orig stuff (snap on screens, carpet,
tables etc.), captain chair in middle, A/C (works, not converted, needs
coolant), no rust (been in New Mexico most its life), canvas in good shape,
engine (runs ok, but has one weak cylinder), interior excellent, paint &
body good (a couple minor dents and a small bend in the rear bumper).  No
mods to speak of, but I did put a small hitch on it that I used to pull a
tiny Coleman camper trailer.  1st year water-buffalo.  Frig, stove, etc.
all work fine.  lousy stereo system.

Do the NADA/Edmund appraisal sound about right?  Would it be worth more in
another region... CA?  How about Ebay?

Would appreciate any suggestions,
Thanks in advance,

Ivan
