Re: your concerns Shody

Shody,

You should be able to do all that on Saturday, glad to hear that  
you're interested and have time to invest in a co-op.

I apologize for the lack of response to your earlier emails.

I'm not at the site lately but any of the links in John Reinhold's  
email will give you the address-- the one in Michael Vanderwaters  
2006 email even gives directions.

The only reservations to have about a VW diesel are the repair bills  
likely.  The motors, clutches and transmissions are reliable but the  
remaining parts of their vehicles have a recurring history of costly  
repairs.  MPG is excellent though.  I recommend a Golf over a Jetta  
wagon if you can live with the slightly smaller rear cargo area.
