My customer with the '86 Syncro with blown head gaskets is lowering her price. The main reason is because she cannot find the paperwork to verify work done to the van in the past. The previous owner claimed to have had the whole drivetrain replaced within the last 30k miles (transmission, etc) but there are no receipts to back it up. Anyway I have a picture of this van on my website in the classifieds section <http://www.strictlyvwauctions.com/classifieds_1_3/index.php?method=showdetails&list=advertisement&rollid=13&fromfromlist=classifiedscategory&fromfrommethod=showhtmllist&fromfromid=11> If you are interested please email or call me this week. Right now the cost of the vehicle is right at or even below what most transmission repair places would charge for a good core on the transmission alone. Again this transmission works well and is supposed to be been rebuilt within the past 30k miles. The interior and body are rough. If I were buying this van it would be as either a major project or for parts. The van has leaking head gaskets on both sides so it cannot be driven (must be flat towed). It is located at my shop in Millville, NJ. Thanks, Ken Wilford John 3:16 www.vanagain.com |
