I've seen them pop up on craigslist from time to time in the past year.

5,000 - 10,000 ish.

Neat cars but I'd rather grab a Subaru outback mid 90's and install a 2" lift with beefier shocks. less than 1/2 the cost and a capable 'car'.

subaru impreza with the 2.2 L boxer engine. High reving and no known issues like the 2.5 L head gaskets.

Don't get the VW if you are concerned about reliability, and I imagine parts are really hard to get for that thing.

They're cool, a fellow importer/friend has brought a couple in...sadly they are VW's, which means the price is overinflated for a less than trustworthy vehicle (electrically)IMO, the parts however are apparently easy to find.

Not sure what the intention is for the car but I looked at the golf too some time ago.

IN the end though, I picked up a Toyota Sprinter (Corolla) 2.0L diesel AWD from Mardy last year and have been extremely happy with it as a commuter. It was great in the snow this winter too. On top of that it gets close to 5L/100km on biodiesel. Its not as robust as a subaru but its a great little car for what it is and the price.

Its got the same engine as a Camry diesel from the mid-80's and the body of a corolla (pretty much) so parts are easy too.
