How to make your "approach" when buying a VW?

[MK1Scirocco16v at comcast.net (Dave Ewing)]

I don't think it matters.  Someone asking $250 for their car probably just
wants the space and would probably give it to you!  That has been my
experience anyway.  Good luck!!

Alright guys, just saw a Rabbit Diesel(didn't state year in ad) in the paper
for $250(ad also stated that it needs work). Anyway, I'm hoping to talk this
guy down since VW enthusiasts are absolutely NON-existent out here(South
Dakota). So heres my question:
1.)Should I show up driving my '83 VW Scirocco, acting like I know all about
VW's since I truly do? (will that just make him think he can get more out of
me?)
2.)Should I show up in my POS '88 Plymouth Reliant acting like I know
nothing about VW's and just need a beater?
3.)Should I show up in a friends '96 Intrepid looking like I'm interested,
but have a nice car but don't really need it?
4.)Any other ideas or combinations of the above ideas?
I know a lot of this depends on the seller, but I'm really excited about
this! Unfortunately I can only spare $200 though! Thanks for any replys,
please make em quick as I'm looking at it pretty soon(haven't set up a time
yet).
