>After much deliberation, and with much regret, we've come to the
>realization that we must part with Vic, our 1990 Syncro Westfalia, with a
>new, Tiico (VWSA inline 4, see www.tiico.com)  engine, 98,300 total
>miles.  The van is in excellent shape mechanically, and the body and
>interior are in good shape (few dings, wear marks, trim mishaps-nothing
>anywhere near catastrophic).
>
>We had the new Tiico engine professionally installed a year ago, at 92,450
>miles, and at the same time new syncro (Betts/Schwenk) springs and OME
>shocks were installed, along with a new clutch.  The van drives and
>handles like a dream, easily cruising 75 plus mph at about 4k rpm, getting
>about 21 mpg.  It's Utah smog certified (now can be inspected at any Utah
>inspection station).  It also has a new starter and solenoid, and new
>front brakes, all done this spring.
>
>Includes:
>Stock:
>Power windows, Power heated mirrors, AC, Locking Differential, powerful
>AC, Extra battery,
>All kitchen appliances work well, fridge lights easily, gets quite cold,
>works in all 3 modes (AC/DC/Propane)
>
>Extras:
>Plat Cat Heater (vented catalytic propane heater), the bigger one, heats
>the van comfortably year round
>Shady Boy Awning
>Blaupunkt in dash CD/AM/FM (original tape deck radio included)
>Hella XL Low Beam headlights (no need to upgrade to any fancier lights,
>these light the road quite well)
>Professionally installed Code Alarm system
>Yakima rain gutter brackets on pop top, with locking roof rack
>         Rear Yakima 2 bike carrier (mounts vertically on hatch) available
>Sliding window screens
>Yokohama Y370 tires, 195/75/14, about 25 k miles

>For truth in advertising, and good karma, here are the significant issues
>with the van:
>Cruise control doesn't work
>Passenger side power window moves quite slowly
>Missing front table
>Hatch lock is not on the power lock grid (works fine with key)
>Camping panel lights do not register water tank level
>
>The van has not been our daily driver, and has been garaged since we've
>owned it (five years).  We've had wonderful journeys with the van, and the
>new engine, shocks and springs make it a pleasure to drive-faster, more
>comfortable, and more reliable.
>
>This is a rare vehicle, mechanically sound.  We are asking $22,750,
>willing to negotiate.  Located in Salt Lake City.
