Update! I just made a deal on this 83 for $500 two minutes ago: <http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2915739> It's the same color, and off by a year. The nice thing about that you ask? Swap my plates over to it, and voila! - Insta winter beater! No government inspections/charges/red tape... Nice... Later, Mark.
