I want to purchase a diesel Rabbit as a second car. Can someone please give me some tips on what to look for when shopping for one? I found a 1984 diesel Rabbit on the Auto Trader website for sale in TX. I received the following info from the current owner who has only owed it for the last four months: 175,000 miles-orginal engine. Owner says its not burning any oil. body and interior in good shape except for headliner falling down. no rust has A/C and blows cold He is asking $1000 for it. What would be a good price for this. Also, how does the use of the A/C effect the car's performance? TIA John P. Plano, TX 1985 Westy |
