I think that if the Van is in the midwest, 2000 to 2500 would be good.
West coast add 1000.
East coast subtract 1000.

109k mile is not so bad, it is the way the owner's took care of it.

Be prepared to spend double on what you have paid for it.

This I agree with Mr. Stan on.
Buy low, spend much on repairing what the first owner's neglected, or
forgot about in repairs.
Buy High, still be ready to spend many dollars to get it correct,and
long time road worthy.

Good Evening,

Fred

Hi all -
What is a reasonable price to pay for a Gold Vanagon GL 1987 109,000
miles. AC works, power locks do not. Cloth seats, pretty good shape. Two
owners, both known to me.
It is running well and there is only a bit of rust on the passenger side
where the panels fit together (2 places).
Is that indication of a more serious problem ?
Thanks,
Jennifer
