I bought a used one in the mid-1980's and kept it for several years. Put over 200K miles on it! Same color. It was a \"gas powered\" engine & I believe it was the bigger 1.8L. One of the best running...and, IMO, most useful small pickup trucks ever built! Boy...would I love to own this one! \n\nThe one I had...for the 1st couple of years...was an everyday driver for me...and a workhorse truck too! I used & abused it. Drove it like I stole it and many, many times overloaded it beyond what would be called \"reasonable load/weight-capacity\"! The damn thing would not break! Hauled many motorcycles in my little beast. Best I could describe it as....is: Like a TIMEX watch...\"It took a licking and kept on ticking!\" After a good number of years in NYS winters...my lil' VW truck eventually succumb to the road salt and not my beatings!!! \n\nIf this was not way across the country from my NYS locale...I'd be a bidder at this point! Darn! She's really nice! And...of course, if I was bidding on it & won it...I'd not be abusing it like I did my 1st one.
