$5,000 CDN - pretty sweet for the condition, IMO.

That's a good find. The late 80's ones in my area are selling for $15-$20,000.

Are these still feasible as an occasional camper ?? Say a few weekends a year ?

Do it, and if you get it post pics! http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
I check craigslist everyday for kicks - you usually find some neat toys in there for cheap.

It appears to be missing the sink, fridge, stove cabinets that run along the left side of the vehicle.
If the glassfibre top, seals, curtains, and other Westfalia-specific parts are in good condition--as well as the body/mechanicals--it might be a decent buy at USD$2000-2500.

Considering a lot of them are rusted and molested, yeah, it is.

I guess your defintion of mint and mine are very different....and believe me...I have owned some "mint" campers.
I really think it is insane what people are getting for them. I see vans going on ebay for 5-6k that you could buy 5 years ago for $1000

I saw a plain jane 77 bus (not a westy) go for over 10k on ebay the other day.
People are retarded...
