He says he's a VW mechanic with 30 years experience, so mechanically it's probably sound. The rust spot "repairs" that amount to spraying with a rattle can, that's less than impressive. The real problem he's having selling it is illustrated by his comment here: "I have over $20,000 invested in this SVX Syncro and therefore the reserve is High." He wants his investment back! (cue audience laughter) Judging by his previous Samba ads, the reserve is probably no less than $18K. $18K might fly for a westy, but I think it's a bit steep for the plain vanilla Syncro with rubber floor mats and non-opening wing windows. I have a non-Syncro base model just like it, and let me tell you, the interior is best described as "stark". So maybe a low-mileage syncro drivetrain and a subaru H-6 is worth 20 big ones, but I just don't feel it, man.
