Subject:Syncro upgrade?
From:Chris Hazen
Date:Mon, 27 Mar 2000 15:38:26 -0700

Sorry for repeat - new to list and did not find info in archive relative to question.

I currently own a '87 GL Westy (156K, rebuilt eng. 25K ago, very clean) and am contemplating upgrading (?) to a '87 Syncro Westy - original owner (an acquaintance), 140K, 5 sp (were they all?), Locking diffs', clean interior etc....

1. I do most of the work on my '87, how different am I going to find the Syncro?  
2. What do I need to pay attention to when scoping the vehicle out and negotiating a price?
3. Realizing market values - what is a fair price range for the vehicle - and a fair sales price for my vehicle?

I live in the mountain interior of Colorado, and have "made due" with the rear wheel drive, but would obviously benefit from the Syncro option.

Thanks in advance,
