Summary

Powered by a fuel-injected 1.6-liter flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle, it features a black soft top and shows 38k miles on the odometer. Recent work includes an exhaust system replacement, engine service, front suspension overhaul, and retrimmed front seats.

sliproc Well, at least it doesn't have a roof rack!
Vw.dodge Most likely the condition of the top and missing headliner that held this one back. $5k repair.
