I'm new to this forum so apologies if I'm posting this in the wrong location, feel free to correct/berate me. A little background first: I'm from the UK living in Austria, learning German but not so good yet. I hope you don't mind me posting here rather than in some Austrian forums. Me and my wife have been looking for a T3 Synchro for a while now, but we're not having much luck. Just yesterday one popped up locally so we went to visit it and it appears to be in pretty great condition (in our novice view) apart from a few little things. I was hoping I could get a little bit of advice on what we are looking at and if it's worth the investment with maybe some super average costs for the necessary repairs. Of course the prices will be a little different here but we're just looking for ballpark figures.
The van is a 1.9 DG 57kW, former fire fighters van, owner selling because he's got a few vehicles and not using it. It's apparently been kept inside almost all of its life. It's being sold at a garage on behalf of the owner. It's registered as a historic vehicle and has a good year left on the MOT with no reported problems at the last check up. The bodywork and underside seems in really good condition, we just have a few concerns with the engine area. The mechanic also said that the starter motor needs replacing. We will hopefully test drive it in the next few days. Anyway, I will attach some pics. Would be great to get a few opinions from the experts here. Anything at all is appreciated! And lastly, we're super excited to become a part of the community!
Many thanks,
Aydin
