>My best value/lowest cost/mile car was a 1985 B2 chassis Quantum/Passat.

Quantum was the US-market name for the Santana (which was also made by Nissan in Japan as Santana), available as a 1.6 turbodiesel or a 2.0 gas five. Of course it's basically an Audi 90, which is basically an Audi 80. The 1st-gen Passat was of course a rebadged Audi 80/Fox.

Our lowest-cost car? 1986 Corolla DX 1.8 diesel sedan. Mainenance items only; however may km were wiped off the odo when it was imprted (SOP), it had over 660,000km when we sold it, and they were all hard km... it having been a taxi before we bought it and for years after. -- Andrew Grebneff Dunedin New Zealand Fossil preparator Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut ‚ Opinions stated are mine, not of the University of Otago "There is water at the bottom of the ocean" - Talking Heads
