Subject:      89 syncro 7 passenger for sale

Hey all,
When I return from this trip, I'll likely be selling my 89 syncro (I'm
traveling in the 90 syncro westy).  Sale is forced by my recent layoff, and
cutting back to one vehicle for the time being.

It's the flash silver (champagne color), no rust anywhere, and a barely
detectable crease on the sliding door.  Alloys, p/w, p/d, p/l, cruise, a/c.
Engine has about 40K on the rebuild, done by a shop in NV.  A very clean
vehicle.

I have recently done lots of work on it, including:  rebuilt tranny (volks
cafe in S. Cruz), OME shocks on all 4 corners, new 27x8.5x14 Bridgestone
Dueller A/Ts (including the spare), new driveshaft, new VC.  Upholstery and
interior are almost as new.  A/C is cold but will need service in the next
year or two.

I am considering moving all the new running gear to my 90 syncro westy, but
will leave it in this vehicle for a serious buyer who will adjust their
offer accordingly.  Similarly, I would be willing to move all the
serviceable running gear from my westy to the 89 for someone who wishes more
a bargain.  The replacements would be:  driveshaft with 100K on it, VC with
no signs of binding, but 200K on it, tranny in good running condition with
200K on it (this tranny is the one I'm traveling with right now), BFG
27x8.5x14 with 8mm of tread left.  I am traveling in the van with all this
running gear now (6,700 mile trip) and I am pretty anal about not taking too
many chances on vehicles when I'm on the road, so it's good stuff, just not
newly rebuilt...

Anyway, please pmail me if interested, and make me an offer.  I really don't
know what the market looks like right now, so am not setting a price.

Take care,
bmc  :)
