First scrirocco, what to look for

[roccit_53 at hotmail.com (C Boyko)]

The other thing, (and I hate to say this,) but you should see what it does 
to your insurance rates, if it's  16V and you're young, that could be the 
deciding factor. ANd any $500 car will likley need some mechanical 
attention, mechanical can be fixed ( but $$$), but make sure it's 
structurally sound. But your mechanic will check that. At this age, how it's 
been taken care of becomes at least as important as the odometer reading. 
Heck, the odometer may not have been working for years anyways. GL, but if 
you et it, first thing you need to get after the fluids is a Bentley. You 
WILL use it.
