This might be slightly out of range as this car is based in Europe in Czech Republic. I have not seen the car in person.
Based on description and photos this is nice syncro. He is asking $22K for it.

I think the bubble is over. we'll see, but my gut feeling is that is overpriced.

I agree. It seems that asking prices are going down. I still think they're too high (most good westys in the west coast are $22k+), but I'm not sure what they're actually selling for. I think $34k is too much for this syncro, but I admittedly don't know those very well. |

I’ve been watching that synchro come down in price last couple of weeks. I’m tempted to upgrade from my 82 diesel westy but the engine being OG is my worry. 34k still high but lots of add ons that would cost me a tonne to get my current ride there.
I’m hopeful the bubble is over !

Ok - so admittedly NOT a currently nice van, but it could be! And sure seems like it could turn out to be a decent deal if one was willing to do the work:
$1,500 non-running project Westy

Can't speak too much to the condition of the body panels, but I can appreciate all of the underbody shots included in the post. That certainly makes for a better ad.
