Got a call from a lady w/ an '87 Westy basically wanting to unload
it. Could use list advice on value since condition isn't perfect, and
it's got a trannie prob that I've never faced before.

Problem:
Van wouldn't go into reverse, but all other gears. then no first, now
nothing. Sound like linkage, but I've never had problems with that.
Thoughts?

Condition:
87 full westy, nice interior. Rust in the seams and dime sized hole
on the front. Haven't seen it in person yet so don't know much more.
As I said, she sounds like she just wants to unload and I'm not
motivated to offer more than salvage value considering the rust.

For me, that's maybe in the range of $1500 +/-. I'm sure she could do
better on eb*y, but what say you?
