 Which is positively ludicrous, as I've passed up nice 87's (passenger not
 camper) for $3500 or so around here in the mid-Atlantic.  Someone in the
 northwest would be crazy to pay that money when they could simply drive
 across country and buy one, hell even if you factored in air faire.  '86-'88
 7 pass syncros go asking under $3k at auction around here.  IMHO the
 origional poster is right on for asking price given the new heads.

Thanks for depreciating my syncro. Looks like I'll have to put a stupid
Westfalia top on top of my vanagon and then I'll be able to get $15,000 for
it. Your syncro must be a peace of S**T.
