That's a VW LT28. It's line a Vanagon, but bigger, and has a D24Turbo IDI like My Volvo.
That by far is the most expensive D24 powered vehicle I have ever seen for sale.
I think if it were Syncro, the price might be right.
That would be an early LT28 yes...
I just completed the import on my 1990 LT31 Florida (Westfalia built). The non turbo version is very slow, and not desirable. Good candidate for a D24TIC Volvo swap. These are very solid trucks, front engine/RWD. They were the German equivalent to our Chevy/Ford 1/2 ton chassis. 28 = 2.8 tonne max weight. The LT28 campers are easily overloaded, which is why I searched out the LT31. The later Florida's had a very nice updated interior. See pictures of mine here:

That early LT28 is overpriced for what it is. It is probably worth 2500Euro plus shipping/import fees. There is another (overpriced) Florida for sale on thesamba for $29k
.
The cost of campers has skyrocketed in the last decade. The later 86+ 2WD Westies if clean and straight typically sell for $15,000 or more. Clean straight Syncro Westies typically go for more than $30,000 with some private sales of converted tricked out vans going for more than $60,000. I'm not talking GoWesty sales which are downright nuts - some at $100,000+. Although I'm not at all up on what LTs go for, I don't find $14,000 to be at all surprising.
If you have ever put fuel in a 'real RV' for a lot of driving, it starts to seem like a minor investment...
I think the 32 footer I had would be about $595 to fill the tank, and it got 7 MPG going downhill. 21,000 miles of fuel =$14000
To be fair it did pretty much crush the hills.
RECAROS IN A MOTORHOME!!!
