    I am currently looking for a car and one of my top choices is a black 16V Scirocco. Yes it absolutely has to be a black one! Needs to be rust free and fairly clean. Would need to be running or very close to it. Also must be within reasonable driving distance (5 hours more or less??) of Charlotte, NC. Maybe a little farther for the right car. The closer to stock, the more I'll like it. Tasteful mods ok.

    LOL! Too funny, but I'm looking for the exact same thing. Clean, rust-free, black 16v car, preferably with a sunroof and some euro bits. Just can't kick the 'rocco habit

    If I stumble across a clean, non-sunroof car, I'll pass along the info!

    Cool. Luckily for you I'm now going this weekend to look at a Karmann Ghia. If I get it, I'll pass any info on as well. That would definitely postpone my Scirocco search for a while.

    Looking for the same thing, but as you said must be black 16v

    If interested I'd consider trading my 65 Beetle (Good daily driver w/1776 engine, under 10k miles on engine) or my 95 Cabrio also good daily driver with a 99 Jetta low miles 2.0 ABA (New CV's and new struts all around)

    Scirocco would have to be an awesome good running car to get my Beetle or Cabrio away though.

    Show me what you got! Post to thread or send me a PM, I'm on here daily.

    I could go for a white one I guess since no one seems to have a black one they want to part with.

    I would rather trade for a nice 16v Scirocco though.

    I really just put it up for sale so I would have the cash on hand if a nice one popped up and the owner wasn't interested in trades.

    Maybe I'm being to picky about color...

    If you are within a couple hundred miles and interested in a trade, please show me what you have

    About to pull bug off the market, due to general aggravation from people low balling or offering lame trades.

    The bug is a solid daily driver, I don't want your project you started 10 years ago and lost interest all the pieces too.....

    If you have a good running 16v Scirocco and want to swap for a good running air cooled hit me up.

    Otherwise I'll just continue to enjoy my bug

    Thanks for the heads up if I get one that needs anything tat 85 may come in handy

    I'm still trying to find something running and driving that isn't 800 miles away.

    Sounds interesting. I'm still waiting on my bug to sell, or I might trade depending on what his car is like. THANKS!

    Bug Sold, Cash in hand.

    Can be in your pocket for the right car. I've got to be able to drive it home from your place to York SC.

    Must be 16v 1.8 or 2.0

    I appreciate the project offers, but just not what I'm looking for right now.

    Show me what you got regardless of paint color (well anything but red)
