There are a couple entertaining points. One, very few low miles Mk4's turn up for sale. Either they get sucked up by flippers, or a religious fanatic gets 'em. The discussions often turn up a, 'then what is mine worth?' and inevitably a low number is thrown about. I am suspecting few would turn loose a car at the price they suggest another's is worth...
That BaT Green Jetta brought a few thou more than I suspected it would. Lots of exposure to the Fanatics there...it did check all the boxes too.
I guess y'all could label me a fanatic, though not yet one to throw that sort of $$ about. I'd love to find a low miles, manual, ALH, 2D Golf too. They're pretty rare bears. My Golf is a 4D, and I bet I'll be happier living with it vs a 2D. Probably going to have to build one out of a gasser. Much more 2D gassers vs TDI's. And I get to bond with it by leaking blood on it during its construction...LOL
