I'm thinking of purchasing a 1981 VW Diesel Dasher that is in awesome condition and has only 64,000 origional miles. Would I be absolutly crazy to spend almost $6000 on this car?
I am a decent home mechanic so repairs on this older model should be easy for me. I've been searching for a ~$6000 VW diesel for a while and can only find pre-85 high-mileage ones is so-so shape for under $3000 and post-97 high-milage ones is not-so-good shape for about $6000.
I want a car that will last several years for long trips with minimal money needed for repairs.
By the way, I need to decide today if I'm gonna purchase this car....
What do y'all think?
Thanks,
Jason
too much.
it's not a collector's car, and it's 24 years old. even half that much is too much, unless it was minty minty mint.
Should be able to get into the early 90's with reasonable mileage for half that or less, and I'm talking canadian dollars!
