[NOT MINE] FS: '88 16V Scirocco in PA

[m-carlson@comcast.net (Michael Carlson)]

I was recently contacted by a fellow in Uniontown, PA who stumbled upon my
website.

He's got a stock, pristine red Scirocco that he's thinking of selling so he
can buy a plane.  (He's also got a wrecked gold '82 and a '75 Super Beetle
Convertible that needs restoration that he's looking to get rid of.)

The '88 spends most of its time under the car cover in his garage, and has
only 24,424 miles on it.  He is the original owner.  I have a couple scanned
Polaroids of the car, and it looks like a stock red 16V.  The pics don't
really show any details, but it sounds like the car is mint.  He has no idea
what a fair asking price is, but he's thinking of the $8500 range.  Sounds
like he may negotiate.  Or, maybe he'll keep it if he doesn't like the
offers he gets.  <shrug>

Regarding the '82, here's what he sent me in an e-mail:  "On the 82, I put
around 85 grand on it and then gave it to my son ( mistake).  He said he was
run off the road and hit a cement parking barrier at the high school, which
in turn pushed a lot of the drivetrain back. This was about 15 or so years
ago, I think.  It's been sitting up in back of the garage ever since.  The
body is fairly good shape still and just about all the parts are still
there.  Neighbor kids busted the windshield playing ball but everything else
is still intact. It's the gold color with a manual trans. Trans and motor
still may be good. ...I don't have a digital camera but the dash is pretty
well shot. The fenders, doors and hatch seem good as are some of the smaller
parts.  Also have a fairly new overhauled motor from an 85 with a rod
through the block."
