'83 Westy for 28k... someone is smoking the crack rock.
Here in Seattle (where Vanagons abound) I'd say a clean 85-91 basic Vanagon will go for 6-12k depending on trim level, options and upgrades, the phase of the moon etc. As rule of thumb I'd add 8-12k if it's a westy, 10-12k if it's a syncro, 1k for each knob if it's a syncro (front locker, rear locker, decoupler), 5-10k if it has a well sorted and sanitary engine upgrade.
Local examples:
'89 Bluestar vanagon (2WD, not westy but a relatively rare Bluestar trim, love this one) for $
8,500:

'87 Syncro Westy (double knob, clean with good upgrades, the holy grail) $
45,000 1987 Vanagon Syncro Westfalia
