Darn ....
don't want to ruin anyone's sale..

I just want people do know that there can be some serious issues on a very
rusty engine of this particular type.
heck...the one I got way into ..it ran ..ran just fine more or less..
but like an old Mercedes car that can seem just fine from behind the
steering wheel going down the road ..
when you really really look at it carefully and mechanically....
the can be terribly worn out .
Tip of the iceberg sorta thing.
I tell everyone now ..
buying a used vw diesel.......pay more for the lowest miles, least rusted
one they have.

( and I've had some just super fine used AAZ's too ...
totally tight, no rust, and act like they only have 50K miles max on them,
etc. )
