Alan's advice is pretty much on target: The older cars are "older cars"
and
: if you're into classics and will accommodate their eccentricities and
aging
: replacement needs, so be it. However, if you want the benefit of the
most
: modern engineering, then you buy the latest model you can afford.
I'm looking at a '79 VW beetle cabrio for my son (who totaled a Honda
Civic
in a slow speed roll-over) and noticed that not only is it air cooled but
the motor is behind the rear axel.. looks similar to the motor in our
996..
there is a reason for that. is oil an issue for a 1.3liter VW motor?
(makes a whopping 50hp, I believe)
