Microbus sells for $200K at auction - other VW sale prices

http://automotive.speedtv.com/article/autos-vw-microbus-scores-big-in-oc

Right when I think these buses can go no higher, they command even more $! I wish I'd gotten my 23 windown micro with a sunroof back in the early 80's when I wanted one so badly and they were more common and realistically priced. I'll probably never have one now. Should I mortgage the farm to get a fixer upper and invest like real estate, assuming I'll get $500K in sweat equity later?

Check out the prices on this site. Drooling over the pics.........

It's sad as I would love to have one. I just don't see how it will ever be possible.....

Short of winning the lottery or grabbing up one of those crazy "Barn-find" stories you hear about where the owner has no idea what it's worth.

I wonder if there even is any "barn-finds" left. If I had the money all I would do is go barn huntin, so I just imagine how many people have been doing it this whole time.

That would be the best job ever.

You just have to keep your eyes open and save up your karma points.
