wasnt me! the only vans ive ever parted had terminal problems ie, really bad rust, accident damage, generally beat, or whatever. i would never part out a van with a clean body/running especially if it was a westy or a wolfsburg /carat. and P.S. Eric lives on the opposite side ot the state as me.. i aint driving 8 hours to Pbgh for a parts van! :<) i do agree, ebay has made vanagons way cheap, killed the resale value of them..bad for the seller.. good for the buyer tho, lots of really good deals. chris
