MK3 Scirocco: is it time?



Well, I don't know much about those new intros but I agree about the price
niche the later Sciroccos fell into.
I have original paperwork on the 86 (!) 16v that I am parting to myself and
the total was just over 16K
Even with 15 years of inflation, that much money could get a decent little
2dr coupe.  I think.
Just a laymans 2 cents.
