But it is long and no 4 wheel drive option! Basically the same length as the
Rialta and they didn't sell well either. The sticker on my 87 Syncro Westy
was around $25,800. It was on the dealers lot from early October until I
took it in February 88. They gave it to me for $19,900 and helped to get me
financing as I really couldn�t afford it with interest at 14% at that time.
They were very happy to see it go off the lot.

According to an inflation calculator I checked, if you spent $24K on a
westfalia new in 1990, the cost in todays money would be $42,000. The Nissan
is $64K and it has everything and more that the Westfalia crowd lusts over.
