Definitely true, at least on the east coast - I don't know about surf spots, the mid-Atlantic and north definitely don't quality. I just bought my '89 with 130K on original engine for 10K, and I had to put more into it to get it to pass the emissions test, etc. I wanted to look at one that sounded good that was advertised at around 9K, but it was sold in three days before I could get to it. I drew the line at ones advertised over $12K, but they were definitely out there. There aren't a lot of them around here. If you look at prices on e-bay and Westfalia.com they are definitely high. It's that supply and demand thing, just like gasoline. But I won't say more on the price of gasoline till Friday!

My mechanic told me Vanagons in good condition can get like 8 to 10 thousand. Is this a load of crap, or is it achievable in the right community? i.e. surf spots Adam |
