Hi All-

This thread interests me; I'm selling my 91 fully loaded Vanagon Camper,
which has about 38,000 miles on it.
(don't get too excited - it's North American spec'd, but stored in
Amsterdam). I've been trying to determine a value.

Edmunds price & Kelly seem at odds; Kelly's trade-in value for my van came
in at around 17000; Edmunds market Value came in at that (you have to do a
bunch of adding & multiplying for mileage & options with the Edmunds page.)
Edmunds trade-in value comes in much lower.

Is there any other price guide that might be more useful than these two ?
More targetted at campers/RVs ?

I sold a 90 Camper in 1995 ( I always have 2 campers - one in Europe, one in
Canada) low mileage (45K), auto, power pkge, no other options.  I got about
US$ 13 - 14000 at the time.(from a Dutch camper dealer - straight cash).I
have a firm offer for the 91 from the same dealer.

However , here in Toronto anyway, the van I sold in 95 would seem to fetch
more now, judging from the very few that now come up in the paper &
anecdotal evidence from our two Camper VW dealers.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Frank.
