I think I'd take this over the Civic . . . though I wonder if all the door locks and window regulators work on this example?

Original paint, matching numbers, blue and yellow California plates, never been in an accident–and it doesn’t cost an arm or leg? This 1985 Volkswagen Jetta seems too good to be true, especially for Facebook Marketplace.
According to the ad, this Volkswagen has been meticulously maintained by a certified factory Volkswagen technician for the last 10 years. Replacement parts? Only Volkswagen or Bosch parts were used whenever possible. It even has a full GLI Recaro interior swap.
This Volkswagen even won Top 10 Best Water Cooled at the Sacramento Bug-o-Rama in 2022.
Find this 1985 Volkswagen Jetta GL listed for sale on Facebook Marketplace for $7000.

Would totally drive this one as well. I had an ’86 Golf at one time. The red looks similar if not the same. (I’m assuming it was the same, but you know what happens when you assume....)
But why do German cars of this vintage look so good on basket weave wheels?
Super bonus points for the asymmetrical Neuspeed upper rear strut brace.
And it has a "save the manual" sticker on the rear window. "Gooble-gobble, one of us!" and all that.
It's a nice example, looks well maintained/preserved.
Tasty example and a reasonable price for what that is. I would think a VW lover would snatch it right up for a little less coin.
Regarding Colin's comment about the basket weave wheels: correct!
Wow. Yeah, someone does need that. Not this someone, I swear.
Seven grand doesn't seem all that unreasonable for that car.
