So I buy a Westfalia for $2000 and put $2000 more into it.  In
my case I'll do the work myself, so I'm looking at $2000 in
parts.  Any decent Westy is worth $4000, so it's not like I'm
throwing my money away.

Having said that,  I bought my '84 Westfalia for $2500 in June
'04 and have put... $280 into it since.  I fixed fuel leaks
around the tank, replaced the broken front swaybar link, put a
new muffler on it, and installed a set of E4 Ciebie headlights
with relays.  I've taken it to Florida three times and NC thrice
as well.  I blow a huge hole in that law, don't I?  I guess I
know how to pick them!  :-)

My previous '85 Westy must have been an exception as well.
