Yeah I saw it and was thinking the same thing. I guess they value that low mileage the most. _________________ Brandon

Pretty sure it's because they're counting on somebody wanting to pay for the UF branding (the body color/plaid is full on Gator pride- see last picture).
Is a nice looking van, I'll say that. _________________ 1991 Vanagon GL 2.1 AT Westfauxlia. "Frankie" Totaled https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=764510&highlight=carnage

Ya that is crazy. When I was in Dubai the majority of the cars were all white. $25,000 value. Ya right.
Id rather pay for this 3knob panel and pay the import costs.

Maybe the memory of gowesty is strong with that one.
Maybe he doesn't want to feel sellers remorse if it sells for 75,000 in 3 hours.
Maybe his wife wants it gone, and now he can say "Look, I've got it for sale right here!"

I guess the reason would be that it took at least 10 tries to get the kitchen panel color matched, and they still got it wrong... oh.. and they forgot to mention it (seems to be) a double knob syncro... I think that part is sort of funny! Maybe its the price of humor. You pay for it, somewhere. _________________ '87 Westy 'Flossie','86 Westy 'R1','86 tintop GL - Subi2.2 'J2','83.5 stock tintop L 'ZoomBus','74 Karmann Ghia, '63 Notch |

All I can say is good luck. There's an Ass for every seat. I think the 80K Syncro days are gone.
