This Jetta, probably 1998-2000 model., not offered here in the USA but Canada yes. VERY difficult to locate here due to the importing idiot-cy... laws 'bout Diesel. Actually a very good overall wagon, mostly from MEXICO made/assembled. If anyone could/would get one, these can make 60MPG's when properly MODDED!.

I think it sold for a few bids over scrap value. It'd be a lot of work to get it legal here, but it IS a diesel wagon with a third pedal on the floor so I snapped a couple pics.
There was also something I have never seen before - a 2012 Prius with the mother of all death rattles in the engine! I always thought the I.C.E. in a Prius was bulletproof, but I assure you they are not! It was funny to watch it go through the auction, it was silent when it rolled forwards slowly, but then the driver would hit the gas and the ICE would fire up, and it sounded like a connecting rod was about to come out through the side of the block! I was beside it when it did that and I actually moved back, it was that bad, I didn't want to get hit with the shrapnel. I didn't get a picture as it was a normal looking white Prius with 243k KMs (150k miles). |
