Is this worth $200?

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.

If it's a stick shift, and I had an automatic I would buy it for a manual swap for $200, no prob. Specially if the tires are good. Having a spare engine to take your time rebuilding while still driving is convenient too.

DCB, I was thinking sort of the same lines... but I don't have a anything right now... I think I'll wait for a good shell to come along.

Well I'm picking up an old tdi this weekend and *might* be moving the 98 metro stick 1L if the TDI checks out.

I'd rather restore the TDI than be given the Metro, even in inspection worthy condition, honestly.
(Keep in mind, we're talking about PA inspection here... one of the worst in the country.)

No, I like them, just that I like TDI's more. I won't travel very far for a car, either, as it's just not worth it to me, and in most cases, I have no way to haul a car home anyway.
