too little too late I suppose. I just sold an 87 syncro with rear diff last
month for only $4500. No rust. was located in western mt and sold to a
gentleman in WA. $6000 seems way too high for just a standard vanagon
syncro. No matter what price you get it for, expect to dump atleast $2000
into it the first year of ownership. I would only pay $3000 max unless it
had a ton of upgrades!
