OillineDid anybody see this for sale. Its been advertised on various forums for some time now. Ive been to see it and it is in very good original condition with full service history and 63000 miles.
Whats it really worth
Hungry_Horse_1955As these are now so rare, I think it is a sellers market and the prices for syncros like this will go up, especially if we have more snow!!!!
I think that they are worth at least £2k and this one, if it is as good as you say and unmolested, is likely to be considerably more.

Thats about right for the price of a std Syncro, Country, G60Syncro & Rallye are of course worth more, although it is still possible to find a tatty or laid up car with no MOT for less.
OillineWell ive gone and done it. Paid £2500 for it. A little over the odds maybe? But it does appear to be in fantastic condition. Need to get it up on the ramps and check thoroughly underneath. Is there anything i should be looking out for?
Chris SApart from oil leaks from the Syncro specific drivetrain, IE front transfer box & rear diff, you need to watch out for all the known 2WD Golf 2 weak points,
To be honest your main problem with any car of this age is rust, keep on top of that & your Syncro is virtually bulletproof!
Getting the box sections Waxoyled might be a good idea.
