I bought my 1988 Syncro Double Cab in August for $12,500 Canadian.  This
was because the former owner HAD to sell because she could not take it in
to the US.  I wasn't about to tell her how and drive home ending my 2 year
search.

Since I have bought it I have had three offers for the truck the last offer
was for $18,000 and I said no.  I know of someone in Vancouver Island who
will part with two Syncros.  He owns 6 Transporters... a bit of an
ecentrick!  Two of these are TriStars, he will sell one of these for... are
we sitting down... $40,000 US as there was only 17 imported to North
Americia.  The other is a 86 Syncro that he is restoring.  He spares no
expense when he does them.  He wanted $12,000 for it before restoration.  I
don't know how much he want for it now or if it is even for sale at this
moment.  If the $$$ are right I know of someone else with a 86 Syncro that
has over 300,000km on the clock and it is very tired... I would get it if
you were REALLY serious and wanted a project vechical.

Email me if you want some details on the TriStar (picture on my VW site).

Good luck on the search!  It was well worth the 2 year wait for me!
