If that was real...you certainly wouldn't want a car with the original oil/fuel. 22 years old?

volkswagon...i bet it broke down after 50 miles and driving only in first. too much trouble to take it to the dealership to repair...might as well see it now with unemployment. haha

I saw this in a magazine ad over 10 years ago.

They should have added to the ad:

"No delivery, buyer is responsible for pickup at current location"
