I didn't realise that the rear jacking points came colour coded.

So one little jacking point = a respray ??

They dont. Read the add carefully and you will see that it has a 51KW engine which is a turbo D

Cooper..... This van has everything you want except a diff lock. The German Public Authorities dont have rusty vehicles. There is too many people now giving advice and its getting out of hand. I doubt if its had a respray. Its got perfect bumpers. Its been kept under cover. Go and buy it as this is a clean van that has not been in the hands of an 'enthusiast' who has had a chance to bodge it up

Yeh its getting a little confusing.
But you recon it will cost approx 2k to fit diff locks?

You need to ask Aidan that question but you dont need two - a rear locker is quite enough

Both jacking points have paint on them and the van looks shiny new. It's one thing if it was only 50miles away but it being a few hundred mile round trip it would be a shame to get there and it be full of filler.

Cooper have you actually asked when it was resprayed?

If I was interested in buying it I would have asked the seller a lot of questions as soon as I had seen it. I would also have put a lot of research into what I was buying before hand.

If I was in the market to buy another Syncro and everything checked out, I would have done a deal before now.

Nah havent asked if its got resprayed. i dont mind. Im defo gunna buy the 1.6 wjhit n red one.

Go on then, go get it. Hope its all you want

Seconded. Go buy it girl! Good luck

I sincerely hope it is a good one and it meets your expectations.

So when are you picking it up?

Not sure yet. Maybe this weekend or next week.

Keep us posted then.

And good luck with it . Hope it is all that you want

Just for comparison here, and this example is far from mint, but has potential, its a 1989 1.9 Petrol Syncro Caravelle with front and rear diff locks. It has heated from seats, two sets of wheels/tyres. Syncro fitted with a petrol Webasto heater, with engine heater, and electric plug in to power internal sockets. Square headlights with washers, and has the 4 x small mud flaps, which are quite expensive on their own.

All for €570 Euros, and quite solid.

Bad points, interior needs tidying, (You did say Cooper that you planned of replacing interior to make into camper?), no power steering, and engine has a rattle, but for the money, you could possibly end up with a great Syncro with some TLC/£

Mickey, can I paypal you the money right now? I'll collect in the summer

Yeh i really like the light blue one + its got diff locks which i want. But it does need work doing to it tho.
Do you recon 5k spending money will get a syncro up to how i want it after buying it?
