We purchased this Westy for $13,750. We are marking that up 20%, which is $2750. So, the starting price for the vehicle itself is only $16,500. This Westy has all original paint. Nice vehicle from the southwest which means: no covered-up rust anywhere, no harsh weather abuse.
John from Colorado is having us fix this one up NICE.
Here is a report showing how it all added up:

Subject: Van is here and looks great
Hello everyone,
The Eurovan did arrive on Friday afternoon, and it looks terrific. I am very pleased, and want to thank everyone who did such a great job on it. I also want to write that despite my frustrations (over the vehicle transport), I have to admit that I am happy with the way the van was transported (which was out of your control)
Thanks,
John

Hi Lucas,
We took the van for our first extended trip over Thanksgiving -- from Boulder, CO to Death Valley, CA for some camping. It performed superbly and we are extremely pleased with it. What's more, every time I returned to the van after a hike I couldn't help but think how absolutely fantastic it looked. Thanks to you and your team for an outstanding job.
John

Hi Lucas,
No problem at all. I am grateful to Larry for finding a curtain that matched my existing set.
I want to tell you that just today I commented to my wife that every time I turn into our drive and open the garage door, I am really, really happy to see the Eurovan sitting in there. It is the best looking Eurovan in Boulder, and there are a lot of them around here.
Regards,
John
