I agree with Kenyon on this one.  I have never seen Vanagon Westfalia for
sale around here (Boulder, CO) for less than $5000, no matter the year or
mileage.  OK mabye without an engine...mabye.  Most Westfalias are between
$7000 and $20,000.  Of course they seem exceptionally high priced
around here.  I estimate that my '86 Westfalia with a new rebuilt
engine to be worth around $12,000.  
There was recently a '91 Syncro Westfalia for $29,000, jeez, how much were
they new?!  Not that I wouldn't buy it if I had $29,000 to spend:)
