Came across a 1984 diesel rabbit today. Guy wants $800 for it. Its not in perfect shape cosmetically but he says it runs fine. Its a 5-speed with 240k on it.
My question, what kind of problems can i expect from it?
I need a cheap beater thats good on gas with how unpredictable the audi is, and these have always fascinated me.
I put the audi up for sale and have been entertaining a few offers on it, but I'd still want a backup just in case.
Also: I talked to him today, and he said that the title was still in his friends name, because he was given the car to try to make a project out of it. I told him if there was going to be any issues with the title i'm not going to buy it. How do you think that will go?
