I think this is pretty cool. In fact I appear to be leading the bidding.

 

 

Hope I don't win it or SWMBO will kill me.

Wow I have never seen one of those before. Looks like the old Audi Quattro's or Volkswagen Scriocco

I know, I've never seen one either.

 

 

 

there's one a few doors from us, it's on South Coast Dubs IIRC, looks lovely.

I hope I get outbid, no money or space for another car, plus the SWMBO factor
He was asking nearly $4k originally so I doubt it'll go for $800.

I'm certain it would cause you no end of troubles that car, they are near on impossible to get spare parts for now, but it is super cool though.

Uber cool!

Interior was also pretty special

Definitely seem them before, but not for a very long time. Parts must be made of unobtanium these days.

Lovely car, there is a 4 door hatchback on UK ebay for £2995

I'm still winning - but only by $18 and it has 3 days to go. SWMBO has expressly forbidden me from bidding again.

Some of my mates thought it would be funny to bid on an 8 foot plastic elephant on ebay when I left my computer logged to it, nevertheless I was still hungover when I drove to Leicester to get it. It got some funny looks on the motorway.

as revenge I shoved it in my 'mates' parents front garden when they were away on holiday and then filled it up with concrete.

alas the moral of the story is to not use the internet, or have friends. It always leads to trouble.

apologies, the one a few doors away is a Scirocco. Quick pic anyway;

OP's Passat looks much like an early(pre body-kitted) mk2 Scirocco.

Phew I've been outbid

Put a higher bid in

They say think of a number then double it - so go bid $1600 on it! SWMBO will calm down eventually

Just park it around the corner then edge it closer to your house

Nooo. SWMBO would be angry. I don't like her when she's angry.

 

I will be keeping an eye on it though.

Uber cool!

interior seats fabric looks like deckchair ones

I'm on the hunt for like/ similar material for the golf

Those seats remind me of the ones i had in my Capri 2.8i Special! Wow, that just brought back a flood of memories

I did bid again but $2k is my limit

When does it finish Rob?

 Keep my fingers crossed for you

Trademe (local Ebay equivalent) extends the auction by 2 mins each bid.

It's up to $2600 now and still going. 18 mins after original end time.

How much did you win it for in the end Rob?
