Commonly asked questions: Q: Does GoWesty offer financing? A: GoWesty does not offer financing, and we are not aware of any institution that offers financing to purchase the year and model vehicles we offer. Currently, the real value of these vehicles is not widely understood in the free market.
To make matters worse, Kelly Blue Book does not even list any pop-top models in either their print- or web-based publications so even a low value is not available.
This may change in the coming years as these vehicles fall under the "vintage" category Most folks that purchase GoWesty-built vehicles do so by using their savings or by borrowing against some other asset like home equity or a retirement account, for example.
In some cases, the loaning institution funds the purchase of the vehicle directly and uses it as partial collateral—and requests that they be included on the title as lienholder. We recommend checking with your financial institution to see what they offer and what they require.
GoWesty is ready and willing to work with them directly, if need be. Q: Why is the out the door price always higher than the sale price originally listed?
A: The sales price listed does not include tax, license, smog check or certificate, or any extra stuff added by the buyer at time of sale, like floor mats, awning, roof racks, etc. Q: Why doesn't GoWesty just list the out the door price to begin with? Isn't that just GoWesty intentionally misleading us?
A: We don't always add in the cost of tax, license, smog check and certificate because we often sell vehicles to individuals to whom those added costs do not apply. Q: I don't mind ugly! Can I buy my vehicle in less than perfect condition? In general, drilling any holes in the roof can create a leak and should be avoided if possible.
It is noteworthy that the factory was careful to design the pop-top on Buses and Vanagons devoid of any holes through to the interior. The hinges, for example, bolt onto the sides. It was not until around that they gathered up the courage to install skylights in Vanagons as standard equipment. The Bus, for example, never got one. The pop-top on all Buses, Vanagons, and Eurovan MV Weekenders is a single-layer design, and any hole drilled on the top surface ends up going through to the inside, except for around the outer-most perimeter—which is not useful.
The holes drilled through the vertical sides are outside of the tent, same as the rear hinge bolts on the Vanagon, so there is no risk of creating any leak into the vehicle. When we install the side brackets, we put on three per side evenly spaced, like this:. You can even install three bars if needed. The EVC has a multi-layered pop-top on the horizontal top and vertical side surfaces. So, it is impractical to install the side brackets.
Instead, we install long aluminum tracks, like these:. Special rubber expansion bolts are used to attach the tracks to the outer layer of plastic. This option is more versatile in that the towers and bars can be moved up and down the tracks, and the load can be positioned wherever is most practical.
The downside is top-side installation, which is less practical on Buses, Vanagons, and MVs for the aforementioned reasons.
