don, you must be a n00b. :) 

the trucks are worth just as much as westys.   syncro trucks are worth just as much as syncro westys..
id rather have a truck over a stupid camper anyday.   :)  

and it was a piece of cake to get my canadian doka legal in PA.. PennDOT has probably more burecratic BS than cali as far as the DMV..   that singlecab is a '82 -  over 25 yrs old.. importation is easy.    

chris
3 stupid westys and one doublecab
 and various other T3 junk

  Is that really a good deal?  Not being sarcastic..I honestly don't know
he worth of Vanagon trucks...But $4k with a lot of 'issues' right up
ront...Sounds kinda silly to me...And a normal diesel engine in a Vanagon
ruck?  Wouldn't that be a really dangerous vehicle on public roads, being
o slow...especially with any load?...
 From my reading and from almost buying a Canadian Syncro, it can be very
edious and expensive to get a vehicle cleared into the US, let alone
alifornia..

 Hey, that's right in Mark's backyard (no room in the front yard) so are you
 going to jump on this one Mark?
