possible mk1 for sale (was maryland mechanic needed)

[nathanlowe at charter.net (Nathan Lowe)]

I don't "want" to sell it, but it may be my best course of action. I'm just
considering all my options and if I can sell this one and get another at a
lower total cost than the repairs, it would be a better choice for me.
Remember that I'm by no means a mechanic to the majority of the work would
be done by a shop, which makes it somewhat more expensive to fix. As far as
price, I would like to get around $900 for it but I'm open to offers. I also
have an offer from a nearby lister to take some pics so hopefully I'll have
some of those soon.
