Here's a value estimate from KBB

1993 Volkswagen Eurovan GL

Engine: 5-Cyl. 2.5 Liter
Trans: 5 Speed Manual
Drive: Front Wheel Drive
Mileage: 129,000

Equipment
Air Conditioning
Power Steering
AM/FM Stereo
Cassette
Premium Sound

Consumer Rated Condition: Good
"Good" condition means that the vehicle is free of any major defects. The paint, body and interior have only minor (if any) blemishes, and there are no major mechanical problems. In states where rust is a problem, this should be very minimal, and a deduction should be made to correct it. The tires match and have substantial tread wear left. A clean title history is assumed. A "good" vehicle will need some reconditioning to be sold at retail; however major reconditioning should be deducted from the value. Most recent model cars owned by consumers fall into this category.

Private Party Value $4,140

Private Party value represents what you might expect to pay for a used car when purchasing from a private party. It may also represent the value you might expect to receive when selling your own used car to another private party.

I wanted to re-itterate.
I love the Eurovan.

Plenty of room, carries alot of weight (1 Ton)
It may not be rated for it, but I have done it many many times.

Parts are not that easy to come by, there is alot of Audi, but if its VW, it comes from Germany. They didnt sell enough of these to keep the parts here.

but again, lots of room, lots of accessories available.
Body on Frame, so easy to bolt a ramp or hydraulic system to the frame.

And, my personal favorite...It tows cars like a dream, even at highway speed.

My two cents.

Oh, one more thing
My wife had three accidents while we lived in Munich in the late 90's
she totalled three cars and drove the Eurovan home each time...Quite a strong vehichle and that is why I bought another.
she really totalled these cars baddddd

All I replace was the front fender, the other two I wiped the paint off the front bumper and we were back on the road again (with a 3000 insurance premium, but thats another story)
