I own an '85 QUANTUM WAGON - I'd say buy it. PROS 1) handles great 2) good mpg 3) very comfortable seats 4) nice 5 speed, good powered engine 5) nice air controls 6) always starts in cold weather CONS 1) very expensive to fix 2) little too much plastic on dash board 3) some small rattles 4) shop manual was 52 $ 5) parts not always readily available jonathan m. liss 201-949-5632 homxb!4373jml

I can give you 2 reasons: First, VW is not as good as it before, my QUANTUM (84) has its speedometer replaced, radiator tank repaired, brake recalled, ... in one year. Second, QUANTUM has a very good stereo ($535.00 for parts only), so you will be No. 1 target in parking lot for a burglar. Even if you didn't lost you stereo, you lost by paying a HIGH premium for your auto insurance. But, the car itself is fine, it's nice to drive, it has a good engine (same as AUDI 5000), it's comforable and loaded, its price is especially attractive (its list price includes almost all options). If you really are VW-biased, make an offer, I'll sell my 1 yr. old (purchased Nov. 84) QUANTUM (only 10k on it) to you at a bargain price.
