Re: wanted: 86-88 vw scirocco 16v

["Rick Alexander" <rick@brubakerbox.com>]

I got Rolling Roc for $500. After changing a motor mount and the fuel
distributor (on hand stuff) and buying a $39.95 battery it passed the
Connecticut sniffer test. Now it still has some tune up issues that need to
be addressed and a fan that needs to be monitored and activated manually at
the fuse box but it IS a daily driver with no rust or hits.

BUT, I waited a long, long, time to find this car. My search was measured in
years not months or weeks. Don't buy the first car you find and have other
means of transport while you are looking.

Good luck,

Rick Alexander
