[Vwdiesel] turning loose the Rabbit

[Chuck Carnohan]

The rust hurts the value Doyt but the utility and economy help a great
deal.  You are in Ohio where all the older cars are rusty so no big deal
really.  I know that a nice Rabbit D rust-free is worth $2500 US- or
more.  So, yours is gotta be worth $1200 to $1500.

Thanks for the opinion, Hagar.  But he wants it now, not in January. I 
figured that I should turn this little marvel loose to live usefully in 
some other household. I have more cars than I can ever use and maintain.

For fuel economy and fun driving, the 85 Jetta TD is the jewel of the
lot, 
although the Rabbit is surprisingly close.  What a fun little car.  I'll

put my resources into making the Jetta very reliable and safe.
