[MBZ] OT looked at a VW Dasher Diesel Wagon today

[kevin kraly]

It was just down the street from me, and the  guy was asking $750 for it.  I 
figured it was worth a look.  It had a pretty good body though it was in 
need of fresh paint, and the interior was pretty good other than some cracks 
in the dash.  Then, the fun began.  First off, it wouldn't start on it's 
own, not too good.  We did manage to get it running with a little pull down 
the street.  One cylinder was weak at idle, but it seemed OK once it got 
moving.  Oil cap test revealed LOTS of blowby, and while it was idling, it 
boiled over, not a pretty sight and not a good thing to have happen when 
trying to sell a car!  Needless to say, I "DASHED" right on outta there and 
didn't buy the car.
