Well, your looking in the right place, around Puget Sound/Seattle.  But you
may pay more than you might expect.  $10k+ for a low mileage '86 or later or
one with a new engine/tranny is about right assuming everything else is
'straight' and prices for a really cherry one could easily get up to $14k.
As for the Eurovan Winabago camper stay away from the earlier ones, you want
'96 or later.  And you will pay around $10k more for a Eurovan than for a
late model Vanagon based Westfalia.  For the difference you can do a lot of
fixing and add-ons to the Vanagon and have it in great shape and set up the
way you want it.
