Beautiful 16v VW Scirocco on BAT...

This is giving me bad ideas - soooo clean and cheap.Buy this so I don’t end up divorced

I was thinking asking price would be $100k.

Its actually a good deal! Looks great.

I haven't seen one that clean/origna in 15 years - 5-6k would be a steal.  Production numbers were really low on the 16v Rocco's.

I remember when we would take cars like this for 200-500 and just cut them apart to put the motor in a Rabbit and then run that into a ditch or tree...

My dad had a glorious immaculate 16v with euro bumpers, some great wheels.... he just told me a few weeks ago he decided to sell it. 
 

Put it up for $3k and had people beating down the door. 
 

sold it the next day and the buyer had the audacity to negotiate him down.  I was equally mad at both.  
 

I told my dad he is not to sell anything else without consulting me.  
 

he recently did the same thing with a mint crf450 that he didn't ride.  He listed it at something like $2500.  Same deal.  
 

Daddddddd......

That's super cheap for a 78k mile example!  If it was a 16v GTi I'd bid on it.  I'm not such a fan of the rocco's, but man for under $7k it sure is tempting...

I dont know. I look at that car and dont think its in such good shape. 

- bad repaint with over spray (driver's door latch)
- the reupholstered seats don't look well done. That plus at least he should have used VW tartan colors. And done the back seat. 
- mirrors should be painted. 
- driver's side tail light not from a 16v
- headliner messed up. Who does seats and not the headliner?

At this point I am not even sure it has 78k miles. I love Sciroccos, but this is not the one. This is the one you buy from 1000 miles away and when you get it, it dissapoints you. 

This car is a $3k car tops. 

I just quickly looked at it, but there is a reason this car is getting no traction.

I was only responsible for one dying , sold it to an acquaintance who decided it wasn't worth fixing...

I still have the intake manifold though. 

Happened to be browsing Craiggers while in Boston and found this:

https://boston.craigslist.org/bmw/cto/d/waltham-1987-volkswagen-scirocco-runs/7264565152.html

Asking 10,750

bat sold it for $8150

using the same pics!   

$8150 plus buyers fee and any shipping.  Seller is not making a whole lot there, which makes you wonder what's wrong with it...

Yeah, I see what you mean. It sounds like a deal but the more you look at it....

The ad now seems to link to a Lexus 450h?

I thought maybe I was having a stroke. I kept switching between tabs to make sure I clicked the correct link. wtf? 

In reply to iansane :

Maybe someone recycled the ad so they don't have to pay CL another five bucks to sell another car? If you look at the URL is still says 1987-scirocco.

Still good looking cars to this day!
