LOL, the SEDAN's were available but NOT the wagon(VARIANT).
They were the "new" generation VW's that Mexico was building(close to MEX city-DF).
Their build was with newer items; wiring, wheel bearings, doors to name few.
Reliability; was like on your sisters, money/maintenance problematic...
That is why I mentioned that IF the vehicle is put together good; and MODS are included, this wagon could/can make 60MPG's because it is NOT a PASSAT, therefore much lighter. Also, many more parts are available from the "mutterland" for MANY improvements. I would have purchased it...
