I know precious little about them myself, but have noticed that (at least here in the Philly area) there seems to be a strong demand for them, and prices seem to be going up. One thing I like about the Rabbit pickups in general is that they're front wheel drive. Rear-wheel-drive mini pickups (such as the Japanese ones) have lousy traction because there's no weight over the drive wheels when the bed is empty. Another list member, Martin Jagersand, recently gave me the address of the diesel list; it's vwdiesel@pas.rochester.edu - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot http://www.busdepot.com |
