Hi list--

I've been lurking for some time now, while shopping for a Westy.  I don't
know if this is an appropriate question or not, so please forgive me if not!
I'm looking at a 1990 with 119k on it that looks to be in pristine
condition.  Supposing after having it checked out it turns out to be in
excellent condition mechanically and otherwise, is 13,900 an exorbitant
price?

Also, I debated for awhile about whether I wanted a synchro.  Is it that
much more cumbersome to maintain for a newbie?  Do you still get pretty good
access to the backcountry with the regular RWD?

Thank you for hearing my novice questions!

Molly
