[Vwdiesel] thanks

[Shawn Wright]

I paid $4100CDN in 1990 for the '85 Jetta TD we currently drive,
although it was only a D back then, and had 185k kms. Swapped in
a used 1.6TD at around 280k km, now has 460k. Not a bad deal,
since the price represented about 6 months of loan+fuel+ payments
on my Corrado in 1990... :-)
