Nice touch but it attracts Beetles and Bugs some people.

That carpet looks like hell! I could just imagine the smell...

On a couple of Volvo's Carfax I looked at the dealer replaced carpets.

Huh, now that's interesting. VW also replaces carpets a LOT on CPO cars due to sunroof leaks. Hell, most VWs even without sunroofs leak!

Another amusing ad. This seller is really optimistic! Check the picture of the front of the car for the 'light' hail damage

That's a fact!

No sunroof and a leak from the window washer reservoir each time I park on a grade

. Afraid to let them touch it or they'll scratch the fender and I'll have a leak from the roof without the sunroof

Should call it a PeeGuan!

Yeaaaah, that’s a little optimistic. Maybe $1k. It is a turbo manual car though, so at least it has that going for it! That is, if it’s actually a turbo.

Very curious thing going on with the ignition key.
Still can't figure out how to capture a pic

Looks pretty good, although some of the pics are kinda Artsy.
