I bought a red "'93L" from a local guy here in Columbus. He had posted it in our for sale forum a while back. I guess no one else was interested or able to buy it.
It's actually a '92L. Just a touch of rust along the underside of the hood is the only corrosion I could find. It's pretty dirty, having sat for at least two years. My Dad and I towed it home this morning. He steered it while I drove the van. It rolled well, but he said the brakes weren't the greatest.
It needs a new fuel pump and probably a new fuel tank. The engine looks good--no leaks to be seen. I need to work on getting her running as soon as I do Luxstiva's suspension swap. She'll be a second car until her inevitable transformation.
I call her "Twinstiva" since she's red like Lux with grey interior and I originally thought she was a '93. After I do the "transformation" either this summer or next, she'll become "Speedstiva" with a higher performance B6 and gutted interior, etc. I plan on painting her dark blue.
She came with two outside mirrors and a nice looking cargo cover, which will go into Lux. (Lux's stock alloys and 12" tires will go on Twin.)
Twin is a 5 speed.
I got her for $190, which has left me broke until tomorrow. Had to tap into my savings, but I decided she shouldn't go to the junkyard. Way too nice a body & interior for that! Way too young, too--only 69K miles!

. I did call on this and he told me he already had an offer from someone on the site from Columbus. I'm glad it didn't get scraped and that it went to a good home.
