Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

1985/1986 Volkswagen Jetta Carat, 4dr, manual transmission with working AC, PW, & PDL.

This is literally my grail vehicle. I have been on the lookout for a Carat for the last 20 years, but every one I have come across is either falling to pieces with heavy rust, or barely road-worthy in other ways. Last one I saw had the power windows stripped out and replaced with hand cranks because the owner was too lazy to fix the motors.

And I want a Canadian/Euro vehicle, with only kilometers on the speedometer.

Anyone in British Columbia (or even western Canada) with a decent-condition (no rust holes), running and road-worthy Carat with the above specs are encouraged to reach out to me.
