I saw one of those in a junkyard. It's probably still there. If anyone buys this one they may want to know where the other one is.

Would I pay the asking price? Not in a hundred years! That's a $500 car in my opinion. I don't care how rare it is, there is virtually NO market for it!
At least I can get parts for a Nash Met.
At least I can get cash for an Isetta.

I pulled a set of steel wheels off a wrecked Dodge Omni to mount my Golf snow tires on and they were stamped VW. |

| Sure. In the beginning years of the Omni/Horizon cars Chrysler bought the engines and some of the drive train from VW. The engines had a longer stroke to take them to 1700cc from the VW 1683. I put a Omni crankshaft into my Rabbit when I rebuilt it. There was only 1 spot on the engine block that needed clearance otherwise it was a bolt in. |

It is also half the price with double the spec.
But yet its built on the same platform, has the most common parts and run the same engines / gearbox.
So if you ask me No the VW is better then a Audi anytime.
And before you ask, yes I have owned both, and hate a Audi, but love a Passat.

I went through this same transition. I had an Audi A6 and replaced it with a Passat. Half the horsepower, of course, but more fun to drive in my opinion. |
