Seems to be a dry spell for good syncros lately.  Maybe in the Spring people
will put a few up for sale and bring the prices down.  If not, that's good
too, as mine just gets more valuable.

87s have the bad 3/4 slider so if the tranny hasn't been rebuilt, it will
be, even so just b/c of the miles.  So add 2500 to the price.  187K on
original engine probably means a rebuild in maybe 50K miles at best I would
guess.

A passenger van like that, even in good shape with lots of maintenance
receipts should not be more than $7K I don't think, and I personally would
be looking for more like 6K.  But whatever it sells for is what it is worth
I guess.
