Re: Fair price?

2450 doesnt' sound like suha bas deal if those are the worst of your
problems.  but you said, it had a "loose feeling tranny", what exactly
does this mean? maybe you should check in to his further first, but if
this turns out to be nothing then it sounds like a good deal.  Plus, it's
always nice to switch a CRX owner over to the Vw side =).  Good luck to
you, let us know.

I thought maybe I could describe the car a little and y'all could give me a little feedback on if this is a decent deal or not.  The car is a black '87 Scirocco 16v with 104,000 miles.  It is entirely free of rust and the paint and body are very good.  It doesn't have any power options except for a power driver side mirror, which doesn't work.  It runs perfect except for a somewhat loose feeling transmission.  Also the car is completely stock.  The exhaust is perfect, except for the muffler which is pretty messed up for some reason.  The most serious issues with it are the non-working parking brake (I'm told they all break, no pun intended), the muffler, a rip in the leather-trimmed driver seat, and the bald tires.  I'm having a hard time negotiating with the owner, who is somewhat of a dick, and the price that he is quite firm on is $2,450, after much negotiation.  I've pretty much fallen in love with the car, plus it is convenient because this guys lives like two miles away from me.  I would really like some feedback if anyone has anything to say about this deal.  Thanks in advance.
