At $5,500, Does This 1988 Volkswagen Scirocco Blow Up Your Skirt?

According to the ad, this Scirocco has a reasonable 142,000 miles on the clock and will come with a clean title. The asking price is $5,500.

I know we’re all pretty averse to “other people’s projects,” but this car seems to need only fiddly little stuff that could be accomplished over weekends. It should make for a solid commuter between such work. Is it worth that $5,500 asking to take on such a scenario?

What’s your opinion on this 16V asking that much for its title transfer? Does that feel like a safe bet? Or does that price and the car’s continued needs take the wind out of your sails?

You decide!

Nice Price or No Dice:

Phoenix, Arizona, Craigslist, or go here if the ad disappears.
