[Vwdiesel] Cleaning up

[the libbybapa]

We have an '02 Jetta wagon that we've had for a few years.  It just passed
250,000 miles.  It runs flawlessly.  Nice car inside and out.  It does not
ever use any oil at all.  Very impressive.  I think $6,000 is a good deal
if the car is clean/straight and mechanically sound.
