I asked his what my 88 GL is worth at pawn. He said it was'n pawnable. I asked him "what do you mean?" He said, they have so little standing that they are simply not worth the effort for us. If we had to take title on a pawned Vanagon to recover our money, trouble in dealing with it simply would not be worth it. We would be better off spending our energy on something else that we can move easier. We don't want our money tied up out front in a vehicle for which there is no market. The name of the game for us is to turn over our money, and it doesn't happen with Vanagons.. I thought that was interesting!!!
