| I hope to have similar specs as James Edmonson's Jetta. WebPage The glider had a blown diesel engine. The seller dropped the price to $1k if he could keep the engine, turbo, etc. I hope to convert it within the next 18 months, but with 2 little ones, that may be tough. My wife is actually not rulling out driving this and selling the SUV. That's a step in the right direction (ie, at least it's not a categorical NO!). | |||||||
