also 4-speed and *NO* AC. This was in Northern California, Carl Carlsen was the dealer.
This was a big dealer with VW/Porsche/Audi and SAAB on one side as well. I went to try the Porsche 924, non-usable back seats and too rich for my budget. Then tried a Saab 900 normal aspirated and a turbo. Saabs were a bargain back in those days but they were asking about $9,000, too much for my budget. My distinct memory was that the Saab went like hell, even the non-turbos.
Bought the Scirocco instead, not at $6,000 Mike mentioned, more like $8,000 out the door with some useless dealer add-ons. The backseats were actually quite usable, not much headroom but not too bad, much better than the revised Scirocco in the mid-'80s.
Got a pair of Cibie fog lights hanging from the bumper and a Kamei front spoiler, it looked real sharp. Put in other things as well during it's life...Big Throat, Neuspeed front and rear sway bars, Koni shocks...loved the car.
I kept it for 8 years, gave it to a friend of mine and he kept it for another two until he sold it to some kids.
