Well I hate to do it but I'm afraid that I'm going to have to sell my '87 Syncro Westy GL.... :-((( The question is how much to ask for it... The "book" value goes from $8,000 to $15,000 depending upon who you ask. It's got 71k on it and is showing signs of needing work, dings, (small) rust spots, leaking steering rack(?), driveshaft (?) clunk, tires (bad alignment), but most of all my wallet says that it's time to convert it to cash. :-( It's currently in St. Louis, MO (missed BBTA because of timing conflict with my sisters wedding, it was a tough decision). I've got an offer for $10,000. Is this fair? or should I hold out for more, the buyer seems especially interested in the syncro (he already has an '88 westy). Thanks! David Bryant davidb@cait.wustl.edu a Westy is the ONLY way to travel, if your not on foot... Initial pilgrimage: Boston, NH, Burlington Vt, Chicago, St Louis, Yellowstone, Victoria BC, ...pacific coast suppressed but not forgotten..., Tiajuana MX (sp?), Las Vegas, North Rim, St. Louis, Various places suppressed for fear of digression into melancholy reminisces
