Turns out it has already been sold to someone else, but the guy has yet to pick it up after a month. I gave the owner my card, and asked him to phone me if anything changes. I go and look at it anyway, and note it is a manual trans, non sunroof, 633csi, E12 based. Black over cardinal leather. I noticed that the right rear window was broken, hood had a dent in it, and there was a small bit of rust around the rear arches, and under the back bumper. Owner told me it runs great, but needs struts. Not bad at all, right? Especially for $500!
Well, we open the hood, and take a look. Can anyone guess why the hood has a reverse dent in it?
"Just needs front struts"
YIKES!!!!
Have a look at the other side. Damn near as nasty!
Wow, Karmann may not have invented rust, but they sure knew how to make it better!
So, if the guy calls me back, will I still give him $500 for it? I already have a much more solid Euro 635 parts car, so so I need another one? It has a good dash, good rear deck pods, and some other nice parts, but I don't know if it's really worth $500 now. We'll see.
