Don't know if I am breaking Samba rules - but thought this would be of interest as the lowest orig mileage Westy I have come across recently...

For those at work with an ebay ban....1988, Westy Hi Top Syncro, in Germany - 39000 miles - one owner - probably genuine..... :shock: £15995 is I guess about $24000

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-T3-T25-Westfalia-Camper-V...286.c0.m14

(nothing to do with me - but I enjoy seeing low mileage - genuine original vehicles for sale - this guy seems to have the knack - and the German alnguage for finding them) - He advertises on uk ebay as he knows we will pay good money for a good one.

That was the size of the factory turbo diesels

bought my syncro hi top (adventurewagen) last year with just under 39000 from original owner, all paperwork- just turned 51,000 a month ago on our southwest trip. Persistence pays off, I "stalked" (as my wife says) the guy for 5 years ever since I first saw it sitting in front of his house.

there are still a few out there...

mine

Thats what I've done before aquiring three of the T3's I now own :D

The syncro westy sat in front of an old (80+) couples house. Knocked on door and drank coffee (I don't drink coffee...) several times over two years before he rang and had decided to sell :D Being nice pays off..



And yes, even in northern Norway there are one-owner syncros, westies and syncrowesties. I have a few more coffee-visits planned :D
