<< Sure the value of your vehicle is highly dependent upon location, but you can always expand your horizons, I bought a '90 (regular GL) in Texas while on business and drove it back on a whim because it was a good deal. The origional $4500 van was a fair deal, and perhaps one of the west coasters should drive on out, snap it up and make a $2000+ profit on it reselling back home.

I agree with you John. Some people just have a car that's special to them, along with modifications and extras. I have a feeling though, that cheery syncro vanagons, will become a rare item, and could possibly retain a high value. John, I wasn't calling you a red-neck, I meant that for example, like Tulsa OK. I lived there for four years and I rarely saw a VW or other fine Euopean cars. If a nice VW or Audi was for sale, it was cheap, wich is good for me, as a buyer. Especialy at the Dallas or the Oklahoma city auctions, they were really cheap. Different parts of the country just have different markets I guess. 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.
