I have found the same thing, been looking for 4 months. Found a nice 86' Westy with 69K no rust but leaky heads poor brakes, rusted cat & muff, needs struts. On a non-VW new car dealers lot. My mechanic said it would need a lot of work. Dealer wants $5995 as-is. Book price is approx. $2100 retail, $1600 wholesale. But when I look at E-Page Internet Classified AD's (http://ep.com:80/h/epages.html) I see that the $6K is in the ballpark.
Know that I would have to drop about $2500 to get it into reliable shape. What is it worth? $2500 to $3000 ???? ------------------------------------- Dave Harlan dharlan@epix.net -------------------------------------
