Ummm....

I offer this -only- with the idea of educating, not arguing...

I recently sold a complete 16V with some pretty significant rear end damage
for 575.00, not running.  It is a great parts car, but since I never could
figure out the electrical problem...  *shrug*

Ultimately, I think I was lucky, but take it for what that is worth...  And
the market in our two areas may be entirely different..
