    Beautiful car dude. I think the 7k scares some people off... If I wasn't half way through the engine swap on my mk2, I would offer a trade (it has A/C)

    Thanks man, yeah I think the price is more than what most are looking to actually spend, in a mk1 atleast. I have had some interest so far, but its all hidden behind the scenes

    I don't think you have owned it, so no herpes yet lol I am just joking.

    no I bought it a while back way more than 2 months ago lol and for a lot more than 4k, and I have since done quite a lot of work as well as clean up on the car to get it where it sits.

    Obviously any real interest in the car will be taken as such and i would be more than happy to provide any info about how when and the reasoning behind purchasing the car as well as selling

    I really would love to keep it I really do, but it's just going to have a very hard time fitting into some new life changes, and I would rather pass it on and find something I am content with and can drive without trying to turn into a dream car of mine..

    and just for anyones reference I am the third owner, fourth if you consider the original giving it to his son as I have been told...

    Anyways please don't post to be mean for no reason, this is a ft fs thread and although opinions are welcome, I don't really think you should try and take away from someones thread because of either misguided information, or whatever reason it may be.

    If you have any questions about the car I have nothing to hide, I would gladly give up any and all information, just send me a pm if you are interested.

    Very nice Rabbit. You nailed the look that I love perfectly. If you were closer, I do believe I'd be trying really hard to own this car.

    Good luck!

    Thanks man!

    I am still continuing to keep up with the car and what not, but since it's up for sale I won't be driving it much so if anyone needs or would like anymore pics I can shoot them really quickly since it's sitting in my garage

    Thanks Man

    All the interest so far has been from the east coast

    No people anywhere close to the west coast want a clean rabbit
