MSRP = manufacturer's suggested retail price, the original sticker price 
from VW in 1971.  Although this varied by location.

These prices are great for insurance purposes but are not realistic in 
the open market.

NADA is often wacky.  Some stuff is too high, some stuff is too low.
All of my early VW Buses are vastly undervalued in their charts given 
the current market place, one by ~50%.

If $14,000 to you is "rich," that is awesome!
You have a very frugal lifestyle.
I would need 2 but preferably 3 more zeros added to that figure.
