Good Evening Tim,
Although we frequently see adds for $50K+ for these, we
don't really know if any of them actually sell at those
prices. I think my price is realistic, given that the
Syncro, while "very nice" isn't "perfect". If nothing else
it has 133K miles on a untouched (though well-maintained)
driveline.
*Best Regards,
Jon
