I got incredibly lucky. I had a friend with one about 14 yrs ago and I loved it. Loved driving it, riding in it, working on it. Didn't know how rare they are. I was planning to go to SC to look at a VW fox on a Friday. That thursday night I checked CL and it had been posted 30 minutes earlier. I called them right away and went to drive it. Needs minor stuff, just maintenence most people don't look at. CV boots, rear wheel cylinders and shoes. Also valve cover and oil pan gasket. It has a couple very minor rust spots in the body and a couple soft spots in the floors. But at $700 I think I came out ok. The dash isn't cracked and all of the gauges, lights, etc. work. I plan on finding another exhaust manifold and building a dual exhaust. I think the original exhaust is a little restrictive. I saw an intake with dual carbs specifically for fiestas on ebay, but the starting bid was more than the cost of the car. Plus I like that great mileage. Previous owner says it gets about 40mpg.
