Just trolling for VW pickups. I found this atrocity. Someone is actually asking for money for this. This is something that I should be paid to remove, not pay for to buy. Unbelieveable, and described as having light rust. Unbelievable. Sorry, just had to spread the word.

Well, I guess it's not especially dark rust...
I'd probably give him the $200 he wants for it. It's not terrible. And it does seem to have three brand new wheels included?
It's probably worth that in salvage anyway. Rehab it and sell it for a little profit.
Or . . .

That'll buff right out. I had wonderful, loving, adventures in one of those, more than a few years ago. No, I don't want to buy one now.
Its in bridgeport. Looks like something my dad drove in grad school. Maybe its full of his left over 70'ss feel good chemicals...
It is a diesel. People pay stupid money for them.
P.S. - I have a nearly mint condition Bentley manual for it if anybody changes their mind.
Airport commuter vehicle means it was the rental car no one even had to pay for at some local strip. Eewwwwww
It's neglected, but really it isn't that bad looking. If that was closer, I'd be interested in it.

Two hundred bucks for that wagon seems like a fair price to me. On another forum I visit a guy's trying to sell his ragged-on, 180SX "drift car" that he hacked into a truck with a sawzall... for $4000. Some people think their turds are gold plated.
Edit: would you buy this for four grand?
(Same car but covered in... sticky vinyl.)

As far as the Dasher goes, I have owned and driven cars that were in much worse condition. It's straight, all the body panels are intact, the glass is all there, and the interior is not thrashed. For a P.O.S., it's in pretty good shape, but I bet it would cost too much to get back on the road after sitting for so long. Not to mention electrical problems can be a real nightmare and I'm sure finding parts for it would be not too easy. If it ran, it would easily be worth $200. The green SX is closer to being an "atrocity" than the VW.
Just a running vw 1.6 diesel engine is worth $1k or more, and yea i think its stupid too.

Perhaps he meant "lightened BY rust"
What do these people think?
They think the price of scrap is up....

Just reading through that ad... What exactly does "Ass does l.S. rear door mechanism." mean?

I read "I.S." as an bizarre abbreviation for "inside".
Following that logic, the car apparently comes with a donkey who opens and closes the hatch from the cargo area.
