I have spent the last 3 months looking to purchase a 7 passenger Synchro
without much luck.  I got in contact with 3 different people, received
pics via email, and then got ready to head out to look and hopefully
purchase one.  Each time I was beaten to the punch and each one was sold
before I even had a chance to look at them in person.

Well, on Friday I was checking the surf at lunch.  On my way back to
work, I saw another vanagon for sale (just what I need!).  I glanced
over and it was a Synchro!!  I quickly eased in behind him and
followed.  He turned down a few familiar streets and then pulls into a
garage.  I get out and it turns out to be my high school swim coach,
woohoo.

I talk to him for a few minutes and found out he's the original owner
and traded in his 70 westy to get, even at the very same Dealer that I
work at!  He says that he and his wife are doing a lot of driving and
camping (albeit poptop trailer camping) and his wife likes automatics,
so an AWD Safari is on order.

Good things come to those who wait?
