[Vwdiesel] '98 Jetta convesion stick/auto

[brian gochnauer]

I wish Craigslist was more easily searchable nationwide, there's nothing in
Des Moines, IA.
Seems pretty improbably switch, searched nationwide auto 'recyclers' and
found 5 automatics in all of the US.
I sure there's more but it is an indicator.
I just bought the car, it has 181k but the engine was just rebuilt by the
previous owner he is also an aircraft mechanic.
