"I made no claim to condition, but in point of fact have passed on 2 seperate vans in excellent condition at the $3500 mark after my extensive inspection but upon deciding from my Quatum 4wd experience I did not want to get into 90k plus mile cars no matter how nice they appeared. One in fact had a just Weddle rebuilt tranny only 15k from rebuild, I thought very hard but saved my money. I have seen quite a few (4-5) go at auction for $3k or so even, appeared very nice, but at auction you never know . . . Campers I understand, passenger vans, you guys better hope you can keep that artificially inlfated value going till you sell, and that better be quick on a 11 year old van."

"Artificially inflated"??? My '87 Syncro with 59k miles lists at over $11,000/Blue Book.

That $3,000 Vanagon you see at the auction just might need $4,000 in repairs.

Keep in mind "You get what you pay for".

My 2¢.
