Ya it was a lot of action. Very cool too . If I ever decide to sell I will put it up directly into the official whine about vanagons thread.
I wish the seller posted videos. I would have loved to hear it. |

That 3.3 is going to be negative towards the sale of the van, it can’t be registered in Ca and issues out if the box. I would think the seller is more minimizing the issues with that van.
Pull the engine and have the Trans fixed and put a realistic engine in it.

Yeah, it might be bad for the auction, but the two 3.3 Syncros I've ridden in were alpha dogs, fantastic in every way. The only thing I don't like about this one is the lack of protection. _________________ Joe T.

No mention of trans rebuilt in the description and just a casual mention in the comments. If that transmission is stock and has spent the last 74k miles behind 227 ft/lbs of torque, it has to be about ready to explode.
Gotta think if the trans was properly prepped for that motor, it would be a high dollar rebuild and be properly highlighted in the description. |

I realize it will sell for a lot more, but given this has been owned for ten years and not some flip artist, I'm okay with it on many fronts. It's only at $6,100 at the time of my response. If it was in my wheel house, I would lay down a bid knowing I would need to put more money into it ... and I would probably still lose.
I have never bought a used car without needing to add more money. My best was buying a '65 Falcon for $125 and needing a tail light lens for $27 -- but it still needed something. _________________ Now: 2003 New Beetle Turbo S / 1990 Single Cab Transporter / 2014 Tiguan R-Line 4motion / 2013 Tiguan S / 2002 Golf GLS TDI

I wish it stayed at $6100. I would buy it and put my fresh trans in it.
My guess is $37k. _________________ '87 Syncro

Nice looking, but a little crusty underneath. Need many more photos of the frame and running gear. _________________ Currently:
