Al,
IMHO, your '89 Syncro Westy is worth exactly what it would cost you to replace it
with a comparable vehicle delivered to your door. They are rare and getting rarer
so the price will need to be high enough to pry it loose from the twit who is going
to sell it.

'86 Syncro Westfalia which is not for sale and never will be.
