Hi All, I'm trying to find a nice Syncro to work on and keep as a permanent addition to the family. I've always looked toward the 1989-1991 models, but I'm seeing a lot of '86 and '87's on the market - One 1986 model for sale seems especially well suited to my needs. Can anyone tell me if there are good reasons for avoiding the 86 and 87 Syncros? I'm not as worried about the engine - just significant design "flaws" involving 4WD, weird wiring issues, or suspension, etc. I appreciate the help, I'm only familiar with 2WD vans...but need a better option than always using the wife's Subaru when heading up into the mountains on snowy days. (feel free to P-mail or post) Cheers, -Ben |
