Subject: 86' Syncro For Sale

Guys,

I came across a used car dealer selling an 86' Syncro today.  The body is
in real good shape.  There is no rust to speak of.  It has a
goldish/brownish exterior color.  The interior is beige and it does not
have a middle seat.  I saw a very small (3") patch of wet asphalt
underneath the engine.  There wasn't enough there to tell whether it was
oil or water.  I had trouble getting the van to run, but was finally able
to get it going so I could  drive it around.  It ended up dying on me in a
parking lot, so I had to walk back to the dealer.  I drove it for probably
about 10 minutes and the temperature didn't get up to normal before it died
on me.  The engine seemed a little weak, but I don't really know how it
should be since I converted mine to Subie power and mine had a bad engine
when I bought it.

I've never ridden in a Syncro, so I am not aware of the controls.  In the
middle of the dash, there was a picture of the drivetrain.  Only the rear
section would light up with an LED.  When I pulled a knob, the light would
go off.  I noticed that when the light was on, the van acted real weird
when turning.  Like I said, I don't know much about them.

Anyway, if anyone thinks this thing might be worth $1500.00 send me an
email.  I think I could get it for less.  I wouldn't mind having a syncro,
but my Westy is all I really need.  I would be willing to purchase it for
someone for a small fee if they really want it.

Later
