Dear List ,

I am about to buy a 87 caravelle (may be GL)syncro , it is a version 16 I
think ,since
I will see the van this weekend I am not sure if its 14 or 16 , here is what
the seller told me about it on yhe phone , it has front and rear diff lock ,
has dual
shocks at rear (why the hell it has duals per one wheel ??) has skid plates
and an extra frame (as he told me) , has 1.9TD on it since the WBX is dead
however the TD is not in a good condition , asking
$5900 .... well syncro is my dream van so I want to buy it , in here
(Turkey) there are 5 or 6 , one is this , what to look for ?? how can I
understand if it is a real 16 ??? (I checked vanagon.com\syncro but are
there any other tips? , owner says whells are 15 or 16 )will 5900 worth , TD
is no problem since I
am familiar with them but , what if there is problem with visco cup. must be
very expensive ..
thanks for help
