    Tricky One... what's a van worth?

    vw caddys have always suffered the same problem. a tatty one worth a grand even for a basket case, yet a show winner only worth 3-4k :( there seems to be a ceilng price on true commercials. but 10k seems to be a divider between good and great buses. 15k and it needs to be famous, or should...
