Re: MK1 S: should i trade.

["Randy B" <scirokn81@email.msn.com>]

Jason,
My first 81S was this color. It is my 2nd favorite color on a Scirocco, the
Cosmos Silver being my favorite. The 81S's came in only three colors, Mars
Red, Cosmos Silver, and Cirrus Metallic. Yours is the Cirrus. If you want to
see a pic of mine go to http://www.jswinsurance.com/scirocco1/s1c.html .
There are pictures and a little story of the car on the site.
I would keep the Mk1 Jetta GLI, it is probably rarer than the Scirocco S,
and hold out for one that does not have the body damage you are describing
unless you plan on spending thousands to have it re-fixed and keeping the
car forever. S's are not as rare as most people think unless you live east
of say.......Denver. Out here in CA I see one on the road at least once a
month. Considering I have two near pristine ones and my friend David got a
Cirrus 81S for free with the original paint and S spoiler intact, if you
want one come out to CA or search the net and you will find what you are
looking for.
Hope this helps.

>>blue-green, sort of a teal color.  andyone know what this color is called?
>>It had black cloth seats with red stripes.  These seats are perfect, no
>rips
>>tears or dammaged foam.  The car is 100% original, this person bought it
>>from the original owner about 2 years ago.  He has ALL documents including
>>original window sticker etc.  Bad things are as follows:  sometime early
in

>>rear quarter pannel.  it was replaced with a new dealer part.  Whoever the
>>dumbass was who replaced it welded it at a slight angle.  When you shut
the
>>door, the top of the door is about 2mm closer than at the bottom.  At the
>>bottom where it was welded to the rocker pannel, there is rust on the
seam,
>>and a small rot hole.  This whole pannel needs to be repainted also, the
>>paint is all scractchy looking.  There is a couple small bubbles of rust
at
>>each bottom corner of the windshild.  Also, last summer the VW MECHANIC
who

a

parts
