>>Does anyone know if this is the true value or kind of high?<<

Dan,

Provided there is nothing major about to go out that is a very fair price
for a 1987 Syncro Adventurewagen. I talked by phone this morning with a
fellow in Southern California who was selling his white 1990 Syncro
Adventurewagen, loaded with a lot of optional upgrades and only 60k miles,
and he wants $21,687. I was (am) tempted but, except for the 4WD, mine has
the same features and still runs like a clock (not the dashboard clock!).
Plus mine fits me like an old comfortable shoe. However if I did sell mine I
would expect to get in the $10k range.
