Mk1 FS on Memphis Craigslist

[jimruffi at gmail.com (Jim Ruffi)]

We're complaining (I think) about the people who claim a car is "rust free,"
when it isn't which is usually the case.  That was my point, but I'm not
really complaining.  I'd love for that car to be rust free and I'd fly down
there to buy it if it was, but I'm not a gambling man.

I'm not assuming anything or trying to label the seller; I'm just speaking
from experience and lamenting the results.

All that said, the asking price is very fair, IMO, assuming the description
is accurate.  Personally, I'd prefer an injected car, but I'd take this one
in a heartbeat.
