More syncros for sale than you can shake a stick at

[syncro up]

Is it just me or does there seem to have been a flood of syncros for sale recently.
Normally theres maybe one on this forum, but since christmas there seems to be loads. and loads of dokas aswell as a tristar (if a rust bucket).
Is this the credit crunch biting or a spring clear out?

Still looking for my illusive tidy single cab though, must be out there somewhere...

Is/was a lot of 2wd for sale too... prob a "credit crunch" thing... maybe....

[Russel]

Or people think if they sell now they will get a better price than later in the year when "the credit crunch takes hold"

I just sold mine but it was because I have been unemployed for the last 4 months (not necessarily because of the recession) and needed the dosh to pay the mortgage. Once I'm employed again I'll be buying a new one. Also got a Bay to sell that I have been restoring over the last 3 years. It's almost complete and up for sale just now. I had built the Bay to keep but in the intervening time discovered Syncros so now the Bay must go.

Theres a lot for sale, but are they selling?
People seem to be asking an awful lot of money for them, and in February too!

I am looking to buy one, I am struggling to sell my bay window for the proper money. I am not going to give it away as you say people are asking lots of money for a Syncro. I am not prepared to pay that much. I would rather just use my bay. After all it is rather nice

[KarlT]

There's another one on the 'bay of fools'...............

There are tons on the Samba also, I keep seeing alot of them repeating some for months now. It's definitely a buyers market.

Sorry to see you have resorted to Evilbay with your Doka.

I was looking at the advert on VZi & ebay. It looks a good van.

I was trying to get the Mrs to buy it to use for work. She said she would drive it too.

[KarlT]

Cheers Pete. Don't want to sell but have been told, upon high, that I don't really need 5.5 vans! She may have a point!

Anyhow we'll see what happens. Least we'll get a good idea of the market. Or the crunching credit crash!

Yes ........

[mattk918]

Aye, someone always outbids me on anything that looks good on the old e(vil)bay so everything seems to sell ....

[KarlT]

Credit crunch or not. There is alot of interest (maybe growing interest) out there for these old buses.......Over 300 watches & God knows how many questions.

[slobbo]

I know what you mean. I have a Bay on the bay for £14000 and I have 397 hits and 11 watchers. Not a cheap van but still plenty of lookers. Hopefully got a buyer now as well. Be able to get another Syncro.
