I put my Syncro up for sale a week or so ago, and since I need to sell the van very soon (this week), I've decided to drop my asking price to $800 OBO. It's in driving condition, and was used as a daily driver up until a month ago when I got another car. The biggest quirk is that it's currently using a 2wd tranny. I'm selling it with the rebuildable syncro tranny, a replacement power steering rack, the driveshaft, skidplates, and a few other little things included. It has just under 150k miles and runs pretty well for its age. It's got power locks and AC (which needs recharging). I put a pair of pretty good jensen speakers in the front. The engine runs well and has pretty good power, although it is a bit tired. The clutch is original and will need to be replaced soon. The current steering rack leaks a bit, but I'm selling it with a good replacement. There is also a coolant leak on the "t" pipe (looks more like an "H" on the syncro) which can be bought new for less than $50. It has a little bit of body rust, but nothing too severe. The interior is in good condition aside from needing a sliding door skin. Over the coarse of owning it, I've replaced: The rear wheel assemblies and control arms (including brake slave cylinders) Idle stablizer control valve Idle stablizer control module rear bumper front headlamps (installed relays too) coolant pipe from water pump all bumper caps tires (continental contacts) Many other items
As I said before, I need to sell the van this week because of space restrictions. I do NOT want to junk it, seeing as how it's taken me a lot of miles and it's still a good car (not to mention the nostalgia of how I came to own it). I live 10 miles north of boston, so closer is better. If interested, make me an offer. I need to sell it very soon, so I'll be willing to make a deal as long as it's going to a good home. Even if you don't need a van, you'd get a working tranny, a rebuildable core tranny, a working 2.1 waterboxer that's rebuildable, decent tires, all intact glass and electrical components, as well as most any other part. My home phone is 781-942-1452. If you's rather respond by email rather than phone, send to lemech@comcast.net. If at all interested, let me know right away, because it will be gone within a week even if no one buys it.
