from: a Newbie I have been carrying this in my pocket for 3 days and dreaming Ad as follows:VW WESTFALIA '78: 2000cc, propane stove, pop-top, sleeps 4, sink, new tires, new battery, new brakes,runs great, pullout am/fm cass. excl cond., $3900. I have been lurking on the list for a few days. My teenager totalled my 1987 toyota van I had for 9 years and me and the kids are currently riding the bus. I could handle all the basic repairs and maintenance on my old van. But as a recent single parent now w/kids will this be a good investment or I guess what I really need vs. want is a car big enough for 5 people and a VW van for the beach and weekends. With a factory manual would I be able to take care of repairs without too much expense. My brother is a german car specialist, lives 3 hrs away but at least parts are available at a discount. Yes, I asked him but he says it is my van; my decision Depending on mileage what is a fair counter offer range for a '78? Patty
