OK it's just my experience but when I visited there a month or so ago they
had at least 5 vans over $40,000 on the lot including the 90k syncro westy
with the Recarro seats and door panels upholstered to match. My son [who
worked there at the time] said that in the time he'd been there [rather
short] that was typical.

YMMV.
