<<<snip>>> a clean


î89 with 90K miles - for only $12,000.
Whoo-hoo! <<<snip>>>

Not to burst your bubble or anything, but there's a guy here in Rochester - a
list member, no less - that paid $9000 for his '89 Syncro Westie, with 85K - he
now has 100k.  And he bought it from a dealer!!!  Finally got a chance to see it
last weekend and boy is that thing mint!

Hmmm...you wrote <<<snip>>>

Cons:
* Dead motor (but the core's good for full credit!)
* No rear diff lock
* Partial service records only (last 3 years)
* Plastic sunroof cracked
* Missing rear wiper, dead motor
* Passenger-side mirror non-motorized
* Slight 2-foot crease rear driverıs side (maybe possible to buff out -
see pix)
* Scuffed rear bumper corner pieces
* 2 inch tear in corner of pop-top canvas, some torn mosquito netting.
* 49-state emissions means $300 smog fee for Calif registration...At this point,
Iıd just like to get my $12K back out of it<<<snip>>>

I dunno, maybe it's me, but $8000 seems more reasonable, all the above
considering...
