Or should I jump? >> I recently (one month ago) bought a 1988 Synchro for $CAN4.5, 168,000 kms (~100K mi). I have been happy so far, although there have been some mechanical problems (plugged catalytic converter, new muffler, lost the rear universal, leaking coolant line, leaking head gasket). I,m not complaining, it is a lot of miles. Parts are outrageously expensive up here. $3K would be a very good price up here (Nova Scotia), if the drivetrain is solid and the body is reasonable. I love the 4WD, and can't wait for the winter! By the way, mine was also owned by a wheelchair user, and was fitted with a lift. The seats were replaced however. Cheers
