Well my sister finally decided that they are going to try to sell off their 86 Syncro (thanks
to the input of a lot of you). Here is the basic run down. Before I forget the van is located
1hr. east of Portland OR. The van is metallic brown with big 4x4 stickers on the side. The
body is in really good shape and the paint is actually pretty good too. It is just an ugly
color (my opinion). The interior is not bad either. The engine starts great and runs smooth
it is just down on power because of low compression on #3. Most likely no one is going to
check out why. The heads are newer (last 30,000 or so). They bought a lower mileage Syncro
and just need this one gone. They also pulled the rebuilt tranny out of the van. It does come
with another Syncro tranny that would not go into fourth gear. It would be inside the van,
Not Installed. It also has low miles on a rebuilt front end. They would be more flexible on
price if they could keep the tires and front end. They are not very picky on this, mainly
they would like it gone. I am thinking probably around $1000 for the whole package? Feel free
to make offers. I am just doing this to help out my sis and am not making anything on the
deal (I promise). If this is way to low or way to high let me know what you think. This is a
nice driving van (I have borrowed it many times) it would be nice to see it stay on the road.
It does have 350,000 miles on it, but it has been well cared for.
Hope this works for one of you,
