newbie here well kind of

[ralexander03 at snet.net (Rick Alexander)]

Welcome Brad.

If this car really only has 70K and it is rust free then I'd snatch it up
for 1K. That of course assumes a few things.
1. That I had the one K.
2. That the odometer is working, they often break on these.
3. That "rust free" applied particularly to the rear axle mount areas, the
strut towers and around the windshield.

If the mileage is correct then the motor is probably not "weak" but the
present owners impression. These things will do three times that before
getting soft. The rubber items are unobtanium as are the MK1 specific things
like trim. The wiring is probably in need of cleaning.

So list, did I get it right?
