This is just a heads up...
There is an 86 syncro for sale in spokane (www.autotrader.com) that i just
looked at. Someone is buying it from Corvalis Oregon sight unseen (i
turned it down).

IF YOU ARE THE PERSON WHO IS BUYING THIS BUS OR KNOW THE PERSON WHO IS
BUYING THIS BUS PLEASE EMAIL OR CALL ME ASAP!

I am prepared to get flamed to cinders, but i think this is very important
(see below)
Thanks

<<<<< this is pretty rough on her, i'm sorry >>>>>>
Reason being- the owner is totally dishonest.  Engine leaks oil ("no
leaks"), lots of rust ("no rust"), VC is shot, hard to find second gear,
wrong tires (passanger tires) inside is thrashed, there NO coolant in the
pressure or overflow tank & the inside of the bus smells sweet. There
master cylinder drips fluid, the power steering pump whines (really really
loud), the rack and pinion is covered in fresh oil (see the previous one),
at least 3 cv's are bad, the ski racks are BOLTED onto (through!) the
drivers side body, seats are thrashed (missing arm rests, seat belts
shredded, ripped cushion, no "oh shit" handles in back). The rear bumper
is pushed in so far that you can't flip down the liscense plate, no bumper
endcaps, mud-flaps are all flappy, oil pressure light blinks ("Oh, it's
been doing that since we put the new "factory rebuilt engine" into it")..
GEX engine (Not VW factory rebuilt)...  I can keep going, but will stop
here.  If you want to know more, please feel free to email me.

As you can see i was quite preterbed. She FULL OUT lied to me- i asked
very specific questions and she answerd with the best sounding answer.
Some of these items are very minor, but the big ones are very serious and
a 'new' owner should know about them before they write a check.
