Could be a pretty darn good deal depending on the condition! Very low miles!

Not much of an ad.
"1980 Volkswagon Rabbit. Tan 2 door. GETS GREAT MILEAGE! 92,200 original miles, pulled behind RV. Needs fuel pump. email for pictures. 515-490-9629"

Hard to tell if $800 is a good deal.
Might be worth it if the pump just needed a reseal,.. and a timing belt.

So I got a response:

The body is in great shape, a little rust around wheels. Ran about 6 mo ago, new starter. I was told the fuel pump is what it needed to get running.
Thanks

Back on topic, good to hear the guy responded!

This car would not be worth $800 unless it had an immaculate body would not be worth it. It has the self destructing 1.5L and a pump reseal is not the easiest or cheapest.

i considered this if it had a perfect body but with the pics i got it looks like there is some reasonable amount of surface rust around the arches so im sure there is more elsewhere

Someone else care to post pics? I cannot see the ones above.

My guess is its more worth about $400

If you get an address my wife may be able to take a look at it next week, if there is anyone seriously interested.

Again....PM me an email address and I will forward the email to anyone who wants bigger pics. Like Dubtuner said, it has a fair amount of rust on the wheel arches....pics aren't super high qual, so there is probably more that isn't seen. Definitely NOT immaculate, but the price is low.

I'll tell you what it looks hot.. I have found a few B7 A4 but havent found any S4.. I dont like the B6 S4 at all...
