yeah.. right!!!!!
May be possible, but if french reg and a runner and any life left in it.... cant see it being that cheap!!! as we discussed...
If she buys that cheap, expect some big expense...

usual dreamer and wishful thinker si!
says all she can find in france is a piece o' "pooh" for €4k. sounds about right to me.

Yep, if she really wants a syncro then she will be in trouble..
I might.. might be able to find a usable one for 4k... but prob needs money spending on it in the near future...
better off looking for a lada niva.. they are more popular and found for less money..

I can't afford to buy and maintain a nice syncro, I've tried to figure the numbers and it just doesn't work without a small lottery win at least (highly unlikely as I just don't do lotteries) so I can't really join in with all this off roading and the like.
The cheap off roading options I'm interested in are Old Panda 4x4/Sisley, Halflinger (see other thread) or Lada Niva. The Panda and Niva used to be as common as "pooh" in a field, the Halflinger always seems to have been rare. I doubt very much if I can even afford any of those three considering their scarcity value.
Looks like I'm stuck with my BMX
