I picked up my 1990 (really is a 1991, but it was a Cali car) Westy
Multivan in the San Fransisco area for $15,000.  Sounds like a lot,
particularly since it didn't have working AC and the tires needed
replacing.  The body and interior were perfect and it was a two-owner car
with only had 88,000 miles.  It had all repair receipts since new, and had
just recently had the cylinder heads refurbished (post corrosion and leak),
much cooling system work, and a transmission rebuild.  I felt that all of
the major mechanical stuff that normally went wrong had already gone wrong
and was fixed properly.  With normal maintenance I'm expecting to get many
years out of this car without a lot of fuss, and I can tackle the AC work
and a few other bits of minor repair.


Cheers.
