Low miles and good condition but its THREE DECADES OLD. https://humboldt.craigslist.org/cto/d/fortuna-valve-dodge-ram-2500/7625100348.html [/quote] They are really good quality, well made vehicles that would cost at least 150k, IF they were at all possible to be made in todays challenging climate control environment, and pollution etc. In todays market, you can't make vehicles that well anymore until you get into the semi-truck range of products. If I had alot of money, I would be buying up older vehicles rite now, to collect a fleet of them. They will pay for themselves over the next few decades when they still continue to work and be serviceable, parts-availability considered though, Don't buy something that you can't get parts for, if you do, Make sure its really reliable or buy two of them. [/quote] You nailed it. New computer cars will be worthless in less than 10 years. I just bought an 03 Jetta TDI and I'm going through fixing little issues. Even this car is almost too new with too many gadgets to break. With the diesel it is my hope to get 1 million miles from this little car @ [b]48 MPG[/b]. [/quote] I'm on my third VW Golf TDI and I am skeptical of that MPG claim. If true, you must drive like an old lady and coast down hills. LOL. [/quote] Guilty on both counts. If people want me to accelerate like a jackrabbit, they can pay my gas bill. Until they, I press that gas pedal like I'm barefoot and its covered in thorns. I got the 5 spd so yes, freewheeling hills and up to stop signs is a must. [/quote] I use mine as work cars so I am pretty hard on them, so I don't get that mileage. It's almost impossible not to blow people off the line with these cars without even trying because they are so light and have so much torque. I get a lot of people who seem to think I want to race when in fact I don not. I wish I could tell them that it's not me...it's just what these cars do. [/quote] Mine has the stock hub caps and I'm probably going to keep it looking like a sleeper. Don't want the attention. I am reading about all these performance upgrades (injectors, reprogramming ECM, new clutch to tame it) and the claim the mileage can stay the same if you drive it the same. Maybe later in the future. I am coming from a 4 cyl Honda manual and the turbo feels just like the vtec and that car only got 32 per gallon. [/quote]
