I ran across this article that I think has relevance to Vanagon owners: http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2013/06/why-wanting-expensive-th ings-makes-us-so-much-happier-than-buying-them/276717/
Personally verified by my expensive EVC experience (bought for $30k in 2006 and a money pit thereafter)! I now buy cheap and then throw money at it. Much better!
Go and drool over those $100k+ Sprinters, Sportsmobiles, and Roadtreks, and come back and enjoy your old Westy even more.
