Of course it's impossible to say without seeing the van, but as a rule I'd say that's a very nice price - assuming of course that it's in good condition and you don't have to dump a lot of money into it. The '85 is an undervalued year, in that it has all the same "GL" ammenities as the '86-up models (cloth interior, armrests, tach, usually air conditioning), but tends to sell for quite a bit less due to its 1.9L engine. - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot, Inc. www.busdepot.com (215) 234-VWVW _____________________________________________ Toll-Free for Orders by PART # : 1-866-BUS-DEPOT
