Westy prices are all over the place and are extremely sensitive to
year and condition.  1983-85 models can usually be found for less than
$10k in pretty decent condition.  A 1986 for a little more.  The
prices really start to climb from 1987-up, with the '90 and '91 models
garnering the top $.

If you are planning to buy, I'd recommend acting soon.  As Spring
approaches, the prices rise.

One thing to remember, unless you're buying a restored Westy, the
purchase price is only the cost of entry.  Expect to spend more to
bring it up to snuff.

Cheers,

Jeff

Seems like a lot of dreamers out there when it comes to pricing, even a local '84 which from the photos appears to be in average condition for 12K! It even has a front turn signal missing in one photo, which I'm hoping for 12K has been replaced with a gold plated one. So, that leads me to ask, like Rick on Pawn Stars says,  "Asking...or getting?" Jeff Stewart ----- Original Message -----
