I bought a used '80 Vanagon last October and actively went about getting it to pass inspection back in May...which included finding a windshield replacement... The used windshield I got was $75 + another $75 for a new gasket and install at a local auto glass place. They wanted slightly less than $200 for the new one with gasket and installed. Of course this assumes you can find someone willing to put used glass in for you if you aren't doing it for yourself...in my case I saved $50. around $200
