Hi,

Sorry I havnt gotten back to you all about the syncr in CT.

The syncro is 3998.00 and the guy says he wont go down but then again he wastn
too perceptive of me.  I think he just saw me as some stupid 20 yr old with no
money.....I sometimes really dislike the way people judge others.  Anyways the
van is:

87 gl syncro(111k)
mettalic red alloy(burgandy red)
locking differential(seems to work=))
no a/c
7 passenger
tan interior (nice)
not much rust and if there was any the p.o. used a touch up paint on all of
it.
there is a sticker on the van that says LIMBO so im guessing the p.o. was in
LIMBO
the guy buys all his vehical from auctions so I doubt he knows anything about
the van

I drove the van and it shifted smooth and engine was quiet, the idel stayed
steady at about 900.

I would worry about the driveshaft, I did not feel much vibration but it is
getting older and eveything.  You can get those done at proven force for less
than 150 bucks with shipping.

The engine is clean, not spotless but looks clean, there are some yellow
numbers on the airflow meter so im guessing this is a newer part.  Its looks
very clean and
shiny black.

Heres the guys info:

he'll listen.
