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
