'79 VW Rabbit back around '92. She was asking 1,050 and I think we agreed on $800. Needed a new battery. Other than that I replaced the fan belt and water pump in 2 years of very hard driving and extreme weather. Car was as simple as dirt, and with the weak battery, it was light enough I could get it rolling myself to jump start before I replaced it. Lot of fun to drive with its 4 speed manual, and almost impossible to kill. Sold it when I moved and couldn't take it with me for $500.
