I just Sold my Syncro yesterday and it was hard seeing it go. This van was like part of the family. I had so many good memories. Met lot of good people in the vanagon community. My kids were sad to see it go as well. Just wanted to say thanks to all the kind people here and all the great people I met at Syncrofest.
Thanks again |

I just bought 2007 sprinter sportsmobile to flip but after driving it around for a week I'm thinking I should sell my syncro. I can't keep both. I have offer of $55k for the sprinter and $60k offer for my syncro. Tough decision.

Don't worry, we'll tow your Sprinter out when you get stuck! 
Best of Luck and high mileage to you!

| Check back with updates every 6 mos to help satisfy our curiousity. I know when I sold my last syncro westy I regretted it within a few months. I sold it to get a fifth wheel tho so way more regrettable than a sprinter. It took me 3 years to get back into one and I had to convert a 2wd to syncro to get it. Dont get me wrong, Im all for the sprinter, just curious if it will be a regrettable decision like I made before. Good luck with the new toy it looks amazin and perfect size too! |

Good job thinning the herd. It’s just a car.
As long as there is attachment to things that are
unstable, unreliable, changing and impermanent,
there will be suffering.

I went to the thread referenced below and it seems he actually sold that Sprinter on May 2016 - did he buy another one afterwards?
Too sad he sold the Syncro though, it was truly beautiful.

If he got 50k bucks for his Synchro I am warmed with the fuzzy glow of capitalism working well. Well done and enjoy your new ride!

In his old post he said someone offered him 60k for his syncro. If someone offered me that they would see me in the rear view waving.
For some reason 50k I would have to really think about it. |
