I had a few offer for my van..
http://www.benplace.com/85rouge/body102.jpg

last summer, an offer came from the US side that seem fair to me, 39,500$
(my van was never for sell and if i sell it one day, it's because i will
need money or have a great new project) I thought about it for a few
minutes, it was not the deal of the year for me but the price offered looks
honest and the guy was nice... and at that time, money was a bit low.
Now i see van like that for almost twice that price! ouffff. I spent
340hours on my van, invested a cost price of over 20k (without the engine,
trany and all the new stuff)

Bah, it's the same with some GoWesty van!
And hey! people think to much of Syncro those days! That price would be more
appropriate if this one was in MINT / or fully restored condition and with a
more powerfull engine and a rebuilt trany.

But it's a seller, and he as the right to ask any price he want
