> "Typically, from $10,000 to $20,000, depending on year, mileage, what shape the vehicle is in, and local market conditions. But you can go higher or lower. On the West Coast, when dealers have '90 or '91 models the asking price is often in the mid twenties."< In north america there is no other vehicle like the syncro westy. The westfalia conversion is the best I've ever seen, including europe and north america. Thats why I like them, the westfalia part. The Vanagon part could be better. But after you get them sorted out and fix all the things that need fixing on a used vehicle, they can be okay. Prices do seem to be high for used syncro westies, but if VW ever decides to import the eurovan syncro to North america I'm sure it will be VERY expensive. After I bought my 1987sncro westy, I rebuilt the engine, transmission and spent countless hours and dollars fixing a few other small things but I'm happy with it now. I don't really need 4wd, and actually have never even driven "off road", but many consider it the ultimate vanagon. Gary Lee |
