Bryan, My opinion is the same as yours about the prices. They are completely ridiculous. However, I also think it's unfair to say that all they do it throw in a new engine, paint it, and detail it. My understanding is that they do much much more to those Westys. That being said I am not defending those prices. Then again who is more at fault Go Westy or the fools who will pay $90k for one of their vans? They wouldn't charge it if there were no buyers. I think Go Westy is a valuable resource for all of us. They have certainly gone above and beyond for me on more than one occasion. I agree the prices they are selling those Westys for are outrageous -I'd love to have one for sure but can't ever see spending that much even if I could.
