If you are ever in Europe, you will be amazed just how >extreemly expensive the used car market is over there. Well John, I suggest >buying those syncro's cheap in your part of the woods, refurbish them, and >sell them here in the northwest for a nice proffit. Michael. I want to apologize for jumping on Michael as well, and funny thing is I know exactly what he means. 2 years ago my ex-fiance was cruising cross country in her still under warranty Subaru Legacy (ack!!) had a small problem and was in Kansas or Oklahoma, had to drive like 400 miles out of her way just to find a damn SUBARU dealership. My sister just got stationed at Ft. Sill with her Subaru and is in the same boat, course not much call for a 4wd Impreza in the heartland, people must think she's crazy. I was in Italy for a couple weeks last November, saw lots of air cooled Vanagons and on a lark stopped at a lot where a single cab '82 was for sale asking was like $8500 US and it was not in particularly fine shape. Certainly is a matter of location. John vwbus@mindspring.com |
