Vanagon FMV?

I may have the opportunity to get a Vanagon for the Soccer Mom class at the challenge. It has been decaying in a field for years and doesn't run- is FMV scrap value in this case or is it elevated since people want these for some stupid reason?

If the deal is available to the public, it's whatever you end up paying to acquire it.

I would be seeing if they would pay you to take it away.

I don't think there I any kind of value for those. Then again i have not seen a running example of one in years.

vanagons have crazy values for running examples. Not as crazy as AC buses, but getting up there... especially westafalia conversions

Yeah, vanagon values are definitely on the rise

This is a "friend of a friend" deal, hence why I ask FMV. I don't want the thing at all except as a potential challenge build, so I really don't want to drag it out of there and have everyone go "oh that's worth $2k, you're boned"

Sounds like $120 scrap value..... There are some nutty westie people though.

Id say that no engine and rough bidy from a field is 500 to 1000. So fmv at 500 should be reasonable.

I have seen running ones for $900 and $90,000, but I see them in pick and pull too, so I can't imagine anyone would complain about it being worth more than $500.

There's a big spread, and it's getting bigger as the value of the best ones is starting to really climb.

But a crusty tin top? I could believe $500 easily. Even less.

Oh please!

Last year I considered a brown Jetta Vr6 and this was going to be my theme.

$500 seems like a lot to me for a non running, rusty VW van. I would think its value is closer to scrap value.

About 6 years ago, a friend bought a running air-cooled Westfalia for $500. It had spent some time parked in a field.

That van would be 2k easily. Now.
