I've been a little suspicious of blue book, since last one I bought
(like the web site itself) had only one price, presumably "low book" but
hard to tell; it seemed more dealer-oriented than consumer oriented, yet
it cost me $8 or so...
An alternative, for what it's worth, and I really don't know, is
Edmund's, which also has a website and apparently is a competitor of
blue book. It also reviews various car models (and seems to prefers the
flashier stuff over reliability etc.) As I recall, it feels the VW
van/bus is a "niche" vehicle and is not much impressed with it/them. A
sample is attached. Cheers, Art
