But an Adventurewagen, heck it's EASILY worth dumping six or seven grand into one of those, particularly a former California van with a decent interior like this one. Besides, people who buy Adventurewagens are usually like people who buy Syncros-- it's not about the money, it's about the vehicle. Passing on a $1600 Adventurewagen because it needs a few thousand dollars in repair is like skipping a $1600 late model Syncro Westy for the same reason. Rare vehicle! It's a RARE vehicle! |
