Only if he knows how to fix everything himself, otherwise he'll be paying out his arse for every little thing that goes wrong.

It's not hard to learn how to fix them. Cars don't get much simpler than that, and parts are cheap.

I own two of them

But if you pay someone else to do it, it adds up.

Much harder shopping for an aircooled in good condition.

For your price range there are any number of American cars that are pretty reliable and cheap to fix. The GM corporate 3800 series V6 is a freakin' tank.

I agree, here are some examples:

Olds 88
Pontiac Bonneville

$4K down and finance the rest, that's what.

Be prepare to spend some serious money on maintanence especailly on a 10+ yrs old VW. Despite if it's honda, ford, or toyota a 10+ yrs car will require some maintenance . If you're not a weekend mechanic, you are better off with a used Honda or Toyota. They are cheaper and easier to maintain. Good luck.

So many limitations. Go take the bus.
