Thanks for the tip.

I've been lurking on the Eurovan list for a couple of months and I've test
driven a 2001. The $5,000 price drop with the added HP has made it an
attractive option.
I've determined that I can get a 2002 Weekender with the poptop and heated
seats for around $29,000. The poptop is a $3000 item.
I want a %&*$^! Eurovan Syncro, I love my T3 but I'll live with the T4 until
the T5s come out.

John
