When I was looking for my tin top I found that anything with even a
'hint' of Subaru was waaaay over priced in my opinion.   Non-running
Subie/vans were being listed at those same prices as that Syncro
mentioned...
   I guess if someone paid to have the vangon engine swapped for a Subaru
and it actually was sorted out and ran flawlessly, they might figure what
they paid to get it done was the value of the vehicle...and they would be
right for themselves...but I didn't care to pay that...then my inline came
up at <$3k and has been serving me well now for 60k miles at least....

  On another note...We saw some real 4x4s doing their thing at the Ocatillo
Wells Highway Vehicle area Rendezvous this late
winter....Un-be-leaveable!   I didn't see any Syncros, though....There were
man made obstacles that all the rock crawlers and jeeps and stuff were free
to go at....Graded like ski runs...Black diamond. green circle,
etc...Literally tens of thousands of people there for the weekend with
their toys....amazing.
   Even saw groups of Spring Breakers with Mommy's Grand Cherokee trying
some of the 'problems'....I bet mommy was pissed when she got her Jeep back
with a dented up undercarriage
