Taco Bowl · 11-18-2009, 04:09 PM

Hi, returning member here.

I know someone thats selling a running 1985 VW Jetta Turbo Diesel 4door, 154,000 miles, Five speed, body is in decent shape. He is selling it for a pretty low price.

I'm kinda interested in purchasing it as a Daily Driver so I can start building up my Tacoma for Off-roading.

Anyone have any experience with this particular engine? Is it reliable or complete garbage? Possible MPG ratings it can pull?

Thanks.
