Vanagons in good shape are relatively rare. It's all about supply and demand. It does amaze me that anyone will buy a car sight unseen on eBay, though. If I can't test-drive it, I won't buy it. None of my business what they do with their money, though; and when I sell my van, I know where I'm going to advertise it! ;) > If VW of America would wake up and see the money > in these, they might start making them again!!!!! Yeah, and they'd try to charge $60,000 for them, no doubt!
