Larry, there are 3 '85 Westys in the Denver Post. They range in price from
$5400 - $8000 asking price. The $8000 one has 91K on it and in "mint"
condition as a 1 owner vehicle. It's been listed for a while though. For
here, $3700 would probably be a fair price. I'm buying an 84 Vanagon today
as a "parts" wagon for mine for $500.

Regards,
Willy
