Try this one: http://www.classifiedadzs.com/ - that's the westfalia.org
classified section and it's where I found Matilda (my '89 westy). Also try
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/.
You'll also sometimes find them on craigslist. And I'm sure there are
others, too! Unfortunately there tend to be more of them out west than in
the Midwest or the east, but they are there to be found if you are patient.
Not necessarily cheap and in good condition, but you can certainly do better
than GoWesty prices.

:::Hey List-
:::
:::Haven't been on for a while . . . used to own an '87 GL Weekender "Moku",
:::but parted with him some years ago.
:::
:::It was the single DUMBEST move I've ever made!
:::
:::I've recently begun the search for another brick to love, and actually
:::found
:::the '89 Westy of my dreams on ebay, but alas the auction ended yesterday
:::and
:::I was out-bid.
:::
:::That brings me to this listmail.
:::
:::I've been looking around online and seem to be encountering quite a bit
:::of
:::difficulty locating vans in good shape that cost less than $35,000 (i.e.
:::GoWesty.com - I'm SURE that those vans are the best out there, but I
:::don't
:::have THAT kinda cash!).
:::
:::Am I missing something?
:::
:::Does anyone have a reputable website they can recommend to me, or know of
:::any places in and around Chicago that have decent vanagons at fair
:::prices?
:::
:::Basically, I've just got this Vanagon itch that needs to be scratched and
:::it
:::seems that I can't reach it by myself and need some help from the list.
:::
:::Thanks in advance!
