Somehow I screwed up the prev post. Should have been--- > We found one for sale in nice condition, except the motor has > > 200,000 original miles on it. Oh no it doesnt. They dont last THAT long. While I cant say its impossible Id bank on it being rebuilt at least once. I doubted it too. But the guy swears it's true and he is the second owner. Says a cyl head was replaced by the original owner. Probly did a valve job/top end OH at that point. I could see a VW bottom end lasting that long, esp with fuel injection which would keep oil on the pistons/cyl and not wash it away with wasted fuel.
