$15K-$25K. Two sold recently for the identical price of $25K in Cali. One was
what I consider to be in pristine one-owner, low mileage condition. Both
Syncros. Keep in mind that here are 2wd Tristars too. Prices continue to adjust
lower as the major market for these vehicles evaporated with the demise of the
dot.com boom.

East coasters seem to be paying similar prices for lesser Tristars and Syncro
dokas. They appear to have greater tolerance of mildly rusty vehicles.

Once upon a time, Syncro Tristars commanded as high as $40K on the West Coast
with a pristine East Coast Tristar reputedly selling for $58K. That's how the
cookie crumbles.
