If this were a Westy or a Country Homes, I'd agree with you. 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!
