This is a deal if I've ever seen one.

What you would pay $30k for the same type of VW that was
Featured in F&F?

01-25-2011, 06:02 PM

Has to be a typo and is meant to be 3k

ky0u · 01-25-2011, 06:08 PM

Thats what everyone thought at first. She's completely serious. 30,000. it's not a typo. Bunch of the members at vwvortex responded to her email and she's dead set on her asking price.She insists her car is rare bc it was one like the model used in the fast and the furious. States that it has a porsche v6 engine under the hood and swears she had her engine rebuilt (from one end to the other) for 22k. "Less the 1500 of these are left in driveable condition"
These are among the things she said to me in response to my email xD

o.o

Hi I recently saw your Jetta listed on Craigslist and am interested in another car. Can you tell me more about it? For starters I dont understand the "Fast and the Furious" comment. Does this make it special? Also, $30,000 seems steep are you willing to budge?

I'll keep you updated when I respond to her response.

It's not even the car that was in F&F. Why would she think that the car is more valuable because of a movie? So now in 14 yrs yellow camaros should sell for $90k because of the transformers movies?

Junior370z · 01-25-2011, 07:42 PM

I'm about to buy it right now! That rare model is faster than my Z!

I currently have 5 car collectors bidding against each other for the car. It’s an extremely rare automobile.

If you never saw the movie, “The Fast and the Furious” with Vin Diesel then you wouldn’t understand the reference but go rent the movie and then you’ll understand. The car is identical to the one in the movie except that this one is black instead of white.

The car has a Porsche 6 cylinder fully ported fuel injected engine in it with a top speed of over 150 mph. This is not a normal Jetta. There were only 5,000 original models of this particular VR6 built and never repeated again after 1997. There are less than 1500 left in drivable condition as of this date.

This is not a car to drive to work in or to the grocery store. This is a car to take to car shows. It’s an investment like Jay Leno does in cars and motorcycles.

The current collector has gone way over the original price of $30,000 and has sent me a deposit for his bid of $50,000.

Still interested?
