Ryan, I wouldn't offer even that much, with 150k on a wrecked VW body that
is built in Brazil, i'd be careful of frame damage, if I were you, look
for a older(78 was a real good year) german made rabbit with FI, it will
be a hell of a lot more reliable(I know a guy who had a fox, fixed
it all the damn time, and I had a 78 rabbit, when I sold it it had 160k
and was still going strong) and if you find a nice one it could end up
being a nice restore/racer project.....just my opinion, keep looking!
