Had a good friend of mine on the PD who had a VW Rabbit with that diesel, 360,000 miles and sold it for 500 bucks, still running good, rusted out in spots but drive train still reliable.
If that thing was a automatic I'd be down there and buy it for my daughter :-/

will it pull a V??

I got a buddy who has a newer diesel rabbit. He gets about 50 MPG on the road and towes his 16' Alumacraft with it.` It tows it great and he even says its better than his 4 cylinder Ranger did.

You can teach her to drive a manuel. It will last a lot longer. Plus it looks like the current body style.
Give it some thought if interested.

Hey Desh, these are consistently going for more than your asking price of $5000 on ebay. It might be worth a shot.

I thought about it but I hate to list it and then have some one back out.

thanks
