I purchased this truck from Steve Garner in Twin Falls Idaho. Steve is a VW and Porsche mechanic who is a master at his trait. He rebuilt the engine for me and sold it to me working like a champ. I had the truck painted ocean blue pearl and had a bed liner even sprayed in. I then had an upholster put in leather gray seats and leather door panels. The whole interior of the cab was re-carpeted. I could not find a new dash so I had him carpet the dash which looks very nice. I did not put in a stereo because after I knew I had to sell this I figured the next lucky person could put in a stereo of their choice. I would say the body of the car is in very good condition but not perfect. The body shop got a lot of the dents and dings out but this is not a show car. The interior is very nice however. I get an average of 45-50 mpg depending on how I drive it. The truck is front wheel drive and did pretty well in the snow. I only had this for 2 years but I love VWs and the truck runs great. I just don't have time to finish all the little details on it like I'd like. The front and rear bumpers need new rubber caps for the end of the bumpers. The engine is in great shape. I want this truck to go to someone who loves VWs as much as I who can appriciate this rabbit diesel like I do.
