[Vwdiesel] car for sale

[Brian and Ruth Decker]

Hi Tad;

                We just need to find a couple of 5 cyl turbo diesel engines
and we can have our cake and eat it also.

Just have to comment that the 4000CS Quattro is an incredible winter car...
unstoppable with both diffs locked, even on so-so tires.  I had a
clapped-out version with 250k miles in college and drove it back and forth
over Willamette pass in the winter many times.  

 

If only I could have that car with a diesel I'd be in heaven!

I can't understand why you people back east will put thousands of dollars
into repairing a rusted out hulk when there are good cars out west that end
up going to the crusher. I have two 1981 Rabbit diesels that I would sell
for $1000. A person living back east could fly out here, rent a large U Haul
truck & a tow dolly one way, put one Rabbit in the truck & the other on the
tow dolly & you could make one good Rabbit from the two & still have a good
frame to build up another Rabbit.  If you did that, you would probably be
out a total of $3000 to build up two Rabbits. These comments do not apply to
some rare numbers matching muscle car or other rare car such as a Cord but
do apply to the average collector car. I used to live in Minn. so I know
what rust can do to a car.
What I have observed is that interior upholstery will often survive in the
rust belt but is ruined by the heat & sun out here in the west.
