So I bought a Suburban. Here's the story on the Westy: The van is in awsome shape. Its a 1987. The engine was worked on at 100,000 miles. It had a total valve job and head gasket replacement at a certified VW dealer! Runs great. Engine now has 128,000 on it. My sister had a brand new top ordered from Germany because she tore the canvas on the old top. The top was $5,000.00 and is brand, spanking new. I've only popped it up 3 times. Stove and fridge work great. The interior of this van is in impeccable shape. No holes or tears in upholstery. Curtains all around. The one thing it does need is a new sunroof, because they reinstalled the old one on the new top. It should be a cinch to replace. No rust on body and paint is like new. Original paint. Sort of a sandy bronze-beige. Nice. History: My sister was living in Louisiana and found the Westy in a Denver paper. She flew out and loved it, so she drove it home. A year later, she and her hubby were moving to Colorado and badly needed to be out from under the payments. I paid her 12,000 cash, a fair price. I've had it for a year and as I said, I bought a Suburban and don't have time to enjoy camping in the westy like she deserves. I am asking $10,000 for her. Let me know if you are interested and I'll send you more info. I live in Texas, down near Brownsville. Be sure and tell me where you are from.
