Joy,

Just like real estate, Vanagon values are all over the place (no pun
intended) and highly dependent on where the vehicle is. I can't drive
5 minutes w/o running into one in the San Francisco area. I specified
my opinion to Joel relative to SF as he is also from around here. The
ironic thing is most folks feel West Coast cars are worth more due to
relative lack of rust. West Coast folks just think they are worth less
because there are to many of them here.
