---------- original message ---------- EX: one guy came in for an inspection (just bought the Syncro), first thing a see i a head leak, ok, rear inner axle is shot, same for the front right inner one, the Syncro as the classic 55mph vibration, main drive shaft is worned or out of balance, rear diff lock unit is stuck in the lock position by rust, fuel level gauge is not working (we all know it can be a pain to get this one out), fourth gear is glitching, speedo is not working and is broke into the front diff (250$ parts), front left bearing is cooked, turn the steering tight to see if the VC is still good, barely OK, wheel are locking. Lower left ball joint is shot, upper tie rod also, that is a quick look at the mechanical side (i'm not talking about the very bad braking system), some camper stuff is not working, inside barely ok in my book (you all know MY book), front end is dented, paint is faded with many rust spot, canvas as hole... price paid: 16.5k ------------------------- Hi Ben, It looks like westfalias and syncros are expensive in Quebec. A syncro westy in that condition would never sell for that much in Western Canada. Or any other place that I can think of. Gary Lee Calgary |
