My granddaughter is looking at a 1997 E320 with 90k miles on it. Does
anyone have any advice about this model vehicle? The price is $9995.00.
Does anyone have a Carfax available and care to run the VIN for me. The
VIN is WDBJF55F7VA403678.

I've owned three of those. They're a nice driver, with a more substantial
(Audi-like) feel than other VWs of the era. I never paid more than $1100
for any of them. And, that was back nearly 15 years ago.
A tdi engine coupled to a VW Fox five speed would make for a really nice
commuter.

Yes a VW diesel will get 50mpg easy. Just not THAT model/that car. A new beetle
will :P

Yeah, it will pull 50..If you baby the heck out of it on flat highway.
You mean things like the fact that it has been in Boston for 160K miles and
has been repaintedI wonder how much rust is hidden under all of the
undercoating that never hardened..Sounds like a used car lot pretty j
Hello Allan,
I understand that you have no reason to trust me at all but I have a coworker
with a 1998 Jetta TDI w/4 speed manual transmission that can get 50MPG highway,

information. Around town it is low 40's but he has

VWs in the 70s were very thrifty with fuel, at the expense of performance.
I had a '79 Jetta with the 1.6 engine and 5-speed; it did get very close to
50 mpg out of the (56HP?) non-turbo 4 banger. Any acceleration when in 5th
gear required a shift back to 4th, unless you were already cruising o
Probably not likely to see 50mpg on a non turbo model. The turbodiesels
might have a chance of achieving this.

The trunk emblems (300D and 2.5TURBO) on the 1990 ARE made of chrome-looking
plastic, held on with double-sided adhesive. The 1983 SD has chrome plated
pot metal, held on by pins into plastic retainers.
I'm pretty sure that most of the trunk emblems since at least 1990 are
plastic.

I am not interested in going into the reasons I say this, but I am convinced
that being right or wrong has very little to do with the outcome of a legal
issue. It is almost entirely dependent on the quality of your legal
representation. Do not ever, ever, ever go into a legal situation without
