Yuh, but it's a Syncro Sunroof! I would get a bit trigger happy on this one myself.

In any case, I don't think you can approach a Vanagon purchase as a rational process. It's not. It is about what we want, and we want these vans. So we take risks. I did, and I spend many hours under, inside the guts of, and outside scratching my head. But I love my van. Usually. Sometime.

Craig-I hope it all turns out well. And if it does, I want to see pictures.
