don't forget: you'll have to pay duty on it to cross the border, and last
time i heard, it was 25 percent!! it shouldn't be more than about $25,000US.

nope. it's a vanagon, all right. the tri-star is a special edition double-
cab pickup truck with FOUR doors!!! <a normal double-cab has only three
doors). plus they added all that other luxury junk at the factory. it's a
neat car, and they didn't import very many of them, so in a sense, it's
rather rare. i'd LOVE to have one ... especially since it's a Syncro. :)

but i be broke. :(
