Hmm I think that is a FEW too many USD.  The 1.9i is essentially the same
as the Audi 80 1.9 as I recall.  Makes OK bhp, but nothing to shout
about. (125 bhp?)  Here in the US 90 Corrado G60s run from about 3000 beat up
to
8K usd.   I'm shopping a Vr6 at about 8500 usd.  So take the price with a
grain of salt.  Where exactly are you?  I don't recognize .ee but I THINK
its in Estonia, perhaps?  I'd love to see enthusiasts with Sciroccos,
but I think they may be asking too much, at least for my market. (USA)

Good luck.
