Krazy Times are here again. A VW that’s 30 years old for more than a whole slew of 2020 new cars! And why exactly do you need 240hp in something like this? Ain’t gonna help the driving ‘dynamics’ any.

TOO. MUCH. MONEY. For what you’re getting.

I can’t generate much enthusiasm for this truckette. That’s a lotta bucks for any 35 YO vehicle, especially one as pedestrian as this. I had a Datsun of similar vintage in the Way Back When, and wouldn’t pay $7500 to re-own it. Same deal here. The asking price is 75% of what these things cost new, 35 years ago. Too…

It gets points for being unmolested, respectable shape for its age and being a survivor. Stick and lack of boy-racer stupid-mods are also points.

I’m thinking a “proper” re-upholstering, which would include new seat foam, which is probably shit at this point anyhow. In good leather. My hope would be to only need to do the front seats in something that matches the back one (a shelf space more than a seat). It’s what you do for a keeper car . . . which today’s…

I’m “borrowing” that graphic for my emails . . .

Man, that worn-out interior kinda kills my enthusiasm. Yeah, seat covers or have it redone (maybe $800 for that, I’ve priced stuff like that). Too many little things wrong and the owner could fix all of them if he chose . . . and he’s choosing not to, which is worrying.

The seller really knows how to eff-up a decent ride! Whitewalls? Photo backdrop of either a junkyard or his backyard, crap all over the place, nothing really clean. I wouldn’t trust what else he’s done to this old Merc.

An easy Nice Price! A little more than I’d want to pay, but low miles and condition means it should sell easily as basic transportation. You can DD it and not have to worry about somehow losing its value.

Oh hell YES! I would if I could (zero spare garage space). I’d take the full package and have myself a sweet winter project.

Rare enough, but this is too much like buying a house that’s been “flipped” with a few new cheap cabinets, new sink and fresh paint. Imported here to sell, not to be driven or enjoyed. That makes me leery of what I would find underneath all that yellow paint.

I almost always (99.5%) of the time go thumbs-down on Some Guys Project.

Can’t blame him! So do I!

Don’t forget the colostomy!

BSA = Bastard Stopped Again when internal-combustion powered.

Never a Harley. Wouldn’t take one if was given to me free.

If I want to experience that much fresh air and the prevailing weather, I’ll get on my motorcycle, go for a run, or bicycle. And I see far too many Jeep owners who disrespect the land by tearing it up, disrespect democracy via their “Orange Menace” flags and stickers. I don’t want to associate with people like that.

A QUICK read and look at the photos and I mashed the Nice Price button as soon as a buggy internet connection would allow! Damn straight this is a Nice Price! Hasn’t been screwed up with boy-racer/Pep Boys bullshit, is clean, low miles and looks damn good. Stick, drop-top and arrest-me RED paint!

EASY NICE PRICE! Looks good, clean, reasonable price/mileage, no ‘boy-racer’ bullshit. I’ve always liked the looks of the TT.

Waaayyy overpriced. Not as effed-up as some I see out there, but it’s got far too many boy-racer mods, the attempt to reset the odometer (that’s still a thing?), and being hooned to death. Nothing I see here justifies that lofty asking price.
