I bought my Syncro in February. Paid too much for it. Did not know much about them, and paid a lot of school fees since.

What have I learned ?

Its worth what you willing to pay for it. Buy a good engine and drive train. The rest is incidental. Its a never ending project.

Mine had a good body and drive train, but crappy, 2.6 plastered together engine with aftermarket parts fitted with all sorts of adaptors.

If you have a good engine with crappy body, you can still go anywhere with confidence while over time fixing it up and its not going to cost an arm and a leg.

If you have a crappy engine, your nice Kombi is just going to sit in the yard, and its going to cost you before you go anywhere.

So, no matter the price, if the mechanics are good and you have the money, buy it. The less you pay, the more it costs you.

That's what I have learned !
