    There's rumored to be a super rare Jetta GT Syncro in Canada... As per Golfs, I would imagine someone would have imported one by now...

    really depends on where you are for the term "around". Canada and Europe of course will have them more readily. If you find one in the US well good luck...........

    I believe the user name is squeeze. He has a jetta syncro. They aren't very common. I do know of several syncros golfs of various models that have been imported, and several that have been converted though, both jettas and golfs.

    there was a huge clean out of US syncro stuff out west posted on the samba like 2 years ago. I just couldnt drive cross country.


    WHY is the harlequin just sitting in a lot?! IMO, thats the only mk3 worth saving. I know a buyer.

    would you sell it?

    IMO, it's a shame that someone did that to a Jetta Syncro...because IIRC, there were only a few thousand of them ever produced. (think Rallye Golf numbers)

    wait, wut? that car has banana lights...is that a 2WD Jetta converted to Syncro?

    There was a guy in upstate NY that had a syncro Golf. It was pretty beat up & he still wanted $8k.


    Edit: squeeze...when you're ready to sell the GT, lemme know. I know i've been telling you this for a few years now. Just remember me when that day comes...if you haven't sold it already. I'll even trade you my VRT Jetta.

    The one my bro has was the one that was in Nevada, everybody talked isht about it but he's got it titled and sexy, sittin pretty with the 16V turbo, all ABF, every part he's used on it was Euro besides the BBM parts. The 86 is a FrankenDub that we have been workin on. That Jetta would be nice, I saw one in Germany for sale right before I was headed back to the states, I was tempted to send her home in pieces but she was way too clean for me to cut her up.
