I was collecting ads for the classifieds, found a 96 passat wagon and the guy was asking 3400.

It needed new suspension, brakes, and AC fix, but those are things you would probably replace anyways. The turbo replace would be a chance to upgrade it or you could just put a cheap used turbo in there. Even a brand new turbo with misc parts is only about $600-700.

Still good deals out there if you look long enough.

I'll bet that if you were to call that guy, he would have 10 other people wanting to buy the car. I saw an ad where the guy was doing a silent auction after he got a lot of interest. Not illegal or unethical since I suppose he never agreed to sell the car, but it's a seller's market for the TDI.
