Faults:

Nothing with the car itself, but sitting in a barn for 10 years it needed an oil change, fuel tank flush, brakes all around, and fuel filter.

General Comments:

Great rare 2 door VW Dasher Diesel, so much fun to drive and easily gets 50-60 MPG! It's not fast, but gets you where you want to go with 25 second 0-60 and top speed of 67mph, but you get compliments all the time as it's so rare and you rarely need to fuel up.

Very solid car, built with steel and real solid materials! I will only drive it during the summer and to car shows as it is rust free and I want to keep it that way!

Faults:

Gas tank leaks, hehe.

Heater went out in the middle of winter in Chicago, not fun when I've got 5 people in the car, and the steam is immediately frozen on the windows, so we'd have to scrap the ice from the inside! I bet you haven't done that before! But with a Volkswagon Dasher, you can give it a try!

The car doesn't like to start when it's hot. Push, put in 2nd gear, and drop the clutch, then you are fine.

General Comments:

When I open the hood, nothing underneath is not rusted. But somehow, it runs, it's a miracle. I traveled all around the east coast in the car, winter and summer, quite a few times, but always managed to move from point A to point B within a day. Pretty good for a car that I paid $500 and sold for $30 when the radiator water leaked into the engine, causing me to weep while driving in the white cloud of smoke.
