Yeah, it's too bad.  But face it- Sciroccos are great little sporty cars at
an affordable price.  So, they get bought by a lot of people who just beat
the hell out of them and don't take good care of them.  Most of the ones I
see up my way are trashed, but there are a few good ones(usually 16Vs).  I
used to get comments on my 16V all the time about how good it looked and
all that with the occasional "must be nice to have money".  ??? 4k Doesn't
sound like a lot of money( this was 4 years ago), I guess they thought it
was an expensive car.
