I'm always looking for deals on C/L, and this ain't it! Confused Confused
Says 27,500 FIRM (hehe).....
Okay, it's got a new 2.2 (gowesty?), and I LIKE those 18" wheels, but come on! Must be cause it's in Malibu?

At first glance, I thought that was the BIGGEST side awning I have ever seen!

Cool, I hope it goes for that. Then my 85 would be worth at least $28K!!

It would cost more than THAT to pry Winston from my cold, dead or really, really, really overpriced fingers! '84, except for the ~@#$!~@$ transmission, was a very good year.

PRICELESS! SOME THINGS ARE PRICELESS!

Shocked

Best!

and to think I was complaining about having to put $3K into my 82 engine... Shocked Right now there are several(!) air-cooled models here priced over 10K Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked

Must be Westy season. Oh well, I'll put the engine in, do some body work, and then I can move to Cabo and retire on my ill-gotten gains.

Best,

Lanval

This HI-PRICING of wbx & westys mostly ,makes me think it is just a numers game to see if a DUMMY is out there. I go to a lot of all brand auto related events & always the for sale area is full of overpriced vehicles that seem to still be there at closing time..............maybe just need a few more beers or does that apply only to women????

Donald Trump either sold the Westfalia, or saw you guys working him over , and yanked the ad---

Maybe his finger's were hitting the wrong button's when he placed the ad---

Nice silicone job on the tires. Laughing

Wow, well I'd be willing to let my '90 syncro west go for $40k!

But..... mine is clearly to dirty to sell, so never mind.

Seriously - could you even spend $27K on your westy?

Let's see...
$4,000 - for a sweet paint job.
$8,000 - for a wicked motor
$5,000 - for air ride suspension
$2,000 - Kick a$$ sound system
$2,000 - misc. camping improvements
$21,000

Sucker who buys a "Go Westy" van or other $27,000 van - priceless!!!!

You forgot the base price for the van.... that's got to be $6k for a rebuildable shell, right! Wink
