 perhaps one of the west coasters should drive on out, snap it up and make a
 $2000+ profit on it reselling back home.

 I agree with you John. Some people just have a car that's special to them,
along with modifications and extras. I have a feeling though, that cheery
syncro vanagons, will become a rare item, and could possibly retain a high
value. John, I wasn't calling  you a red-neck, I meant that for example, like
Tulsa OK. I  lived there for four years and I rarely saw a VW or other fine
Euopean cars. If a nice VW or Audi was for sale, it was cheap, wich is good
for me, as a buyer. Especialy at the Dallas or the Oklahoma city auctions,
they were really cheap. Different parts of the country just have different
markets I guess. If you are ever in Europe, you will be amazed just how
extreemly expensive the used car market is over there. Well John, I suggest
buying those syncro's cheap in your part of the woods,  refurbish them, and
sell them here in the northwest for a nice proffit.   Michael.
