If I sell my TDI Syncro hi top Westfalia it won't be for a penny below
60.000 'cause it cost me more than that to build it up to where it is...
besides 60.000 is nothing for a vehicle like that...  my 2006 Touareg
TDI I bought a few months ago cost more than that and I can find about
three of these on eBay at any given moment and no TDI Syncro Westfalias...
In five years from now the Syncro will not depreciate where as the Touareg
will... the Syncro is a better and smarter deal.
