Mods And Repairs: Is This A Reasonable Price For A VW Scirocco?
Is this a reasonable price for a VW Scirocco? Looking for my first car, Dad and I have just been to inspect a 1985 VW Scirocco Mk II which an old man we know is selling. 1500 NZ dollars. The condition of the car was fairly poor, except it had a reasonably good engine. However has thrashed it every day of its life, and it hasn't been garaged for its 25 years of existence. He's pulled the radio out, the heaters/a.c doesn't work and the car is finished in faded matte paint. 15,000 NZD leaving my father and I annoyed and amused. What is a realistic amount of money that this car is worth? I've converted the currencies to make it easier for those of you overseas to make sense of it all. 15,000 NZ, he must think that because it's rare it must be worth a pretty penny. 1500 figure you stated.
Rarity is rarity, but perhaps he just doesn't want to sell it. They sell for around 1900-4900 USD. Check on the UK e bay site as these motors come up now and again. I sold one that I had restored and it was immaculate, I got 拢1150 for it just over 4 years ago. It was registered in 1993 and was one of the very last ones in UK. If I could have converted it to power steering I would have kept it. I think this depends on rarity in a given country or region you are in. 800 USD and up. No more than any other mass produced car of that age. When I see prices that look high, I always see what else I can get for the same money and that usually clears it up pretty quickly that their price is rediculous. 11,000 USD I could get an excellent condition C4 Corvette that's ready to drive right now.
Yeah, I'll take the Vette. 2000 NZ, rare or not. Is this guy hitting the crack pipe or something. These cars are bococky. 1600 cc vw engine? I want to either buy or build my first Baja bug and have never owned a vw ever. I'm just wanting to know how many miles on average does a 1600cc engine need to be rebuilt? Are they relatively dependable? They are dependable. I had a 68 Beetle in high school with a transplanted 1600cc engine. It was already used with 50K miles on it. It lasted me another 2 yrs no problem. That was back in 84-86. I cannot say how often they should be rebuilt. You rebuild them when a problem is bad enough to call for a rebuild. I have owned many over the years. All went over 100,000 with no rebuild. I had 2 that were over 200,000. As to how long it will run after a rebuild that all depends on the term rebuild and how well it is done. A line bored case is usually the weak link there.
A total rebuild should include a new case. 90,000 miles for the first rebuild unless the motor was well taken care of. VW motors out there with over 250,000 miles without a rebuild. 45,000 - 50,000 miles. 6) It depends. Performance, about 50,000 mi. Is a red Volkswagen Rabbit an ugly car? I am interested in getting a red 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit but my family says that it doesn't look good in red. What do you guys think? I think it would be awesome. It should be your decision you will be the one driving it not them. If you want to change the color later you can. I'd like to get a 1980 and restore it eventually! At first I thought to say 'it wouldn't matter' just pick whatever you want, but I googled some pictures and no it really doesn't look good in red. Find one that's white or silver or something different.
