I just went to gowesty http://www.gowesty.com/vehicle_sales.php to check out the up scale VW prices. On the sold list they are $24k to $86k with only one available right now, a '90 syncro camper http://www.gowesty.com/vehicle_details.php?id=1403 for $60k with a 110k miles. At Sportsmobile http://sportsmobile.com/ (about half way down the page) they have a section "For a quick cost idea", between $60k-$75k for a NEW (2011) Ford, Chevy or Sprinter camper. I just went to the local craigslists (Seattle WA & Portland OR) and the Westfalias (darn few) are going for between $4k & $28k.

I really think it has to do "you". Who you are, what you like, what you are going to do with it.
