Subject: FS: 86 Vanagon Syncro - Seattle - $3445 offers/trades
Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"
1986 VW Vanagon GL Syncro 4WD Van. Syncro 4 wheel drive/all wheel drive
system. 130K miles. 2.1L Waterboxxer engine. 7 passenger seating.
Overall decent condition. Runs/drives good. Normal wear & tear - minor
body damage (dings/scratches) - minor interior imperfections (no serious
tears). 5 speed manual tranny with "granny" low gear. Bently official VW
Vanagon/Syncro factory workshop manual. Medium blue metallic with silver
beltline stripe. Blue/Black interior. Decent Michelin X radials. New Tag.
Great on-line worldwide Vanagon & Syncro enthusiast resources.
I can email pictures - or - see the van on the web at:

I hate to sell this rig - I always wanted a 4WD Van and I was going to turn
the Syncro into a semi-serious, off-road/trekking vehicle. However, I just
got a good deal on a newer Jeep that needs some work -so- the 4WD Van
project will have to wait a while. Need the money and one project at a
time!
The Air Conditioning does not work. To convert to an off-roader I had
started to remove the air conditioning. The A/C is not really neccessary in
Seattle -or- for off-road situations -so- I started to remove some of the
A/C parts from the interior (primarily ducting & the rear evaporator/fan
unit). I have NOT yet removed any of the primary A/C mechanical components
(condensor/compressor/hoses/etc.) So - since I decided to sell the van - I
can either leave the A/C on - or finish removing it - your choice.
I have researched Syncro pricing in the US and I am pricing the van
agressively. I am asking $3445. I will beat the price on any "legitimate",
roughly comparable good running Syncro Vanagon. Also, I am also running
this sale as a reverse auction - NO EBAY!!! I am starting at a known top
price - $3445. The price will be REDUCED by $100 every week - until it
sells (or until the price gets down to $2245) at which point I will just
keep the Syncro and take it off the market. I will also consider all offers
and trades or partial-trades+cash (smaller car/truck/motorcycle, TIG welder,
or ???).
I can help deliver in a reasonable radius around the Seattle area - Thanks -
HC
