If my parking spots weren't overflowing I'd have that, a set of KWs and some 15x8 RMs by the end of the week.

Yup, my 84 Rabbit L was the same story.
Doesn't matter how well you treat it (best fluids, OEM parts etc.), it will always find new and interesting ways of breaking!

That's interesting. We had an 84 Rabbit by Karmann. That thing was totally indestructible.

Yeah my experience is anything golf related mk4 and below were extremely reliable and bulletproof. This is coming from friends and family coming from multiple mk3/4, multiple mk2 and one rabbit.

yes, .1

09+ is .2. It's when they got rid of IMS problems and most .2s didn't suffer from bore scoring as compared to .1 models. .2 models currently demand quite a serious premium today.

Probably going to get a few failed posts on this but

No price tag on this but a feeler post. E36 M3 sedan Techno Violet. High mileage 223k

https://vancouver.craigslist.org/rch...122052178.html

Not sure if this is good as there isn't much price comparisons. Widebody M235i.
