This Westy first came to GoWesty back in 2004 when it had only 69k miles on it. We serviced it a few times, and we eventually sold it for the owners back in 2005. For details on that sale, click here. Not much was done to it back then--it was only 13 years old and had less than 70k miles on it... In 2011, the van made its way back to us, we fixed her up again, and out the door she went. For details of that sale, please click here.
We re-purchased this Westy for $14,000. We are marking that up 20%, and doing the following work which is all included in the price.:
