The Syncro, on the other hand, had 157K on it when I bought it and I had the engine rebuilt because I was told that was the only way I could pass emmisions. Now at 196K, it's still running fine and I'm not so sure I wasn't "scammed" into doing the engine work because I still had to take it to the dealer for more tunning before it would pass.
