EV MV Search

I've spent the day looking around the Denver area for an EV MV in decent
shape to replace the one that was totaled in the horse accident. I could
only find three available. I drove two and saw one in a parking lot.

1. The first was a '93 EV MV Weekender automatic with 125,000 miles and an
asking price of $8,500 in fairly good shape. It's green and named "Puff".

2. The second one was a '93 EV MV automatic with 112,000 miles for $5,500 in
less than terrific shape. White.

3. There is also an EV MV Weekender here in Boulder with 83,000 for which
they are asking $13,900 - I haven't driven this one but it has a fair amount
of rust along the left hand body panel seam.

I like Puff the best but I am concerned about the high mileage. I'd like to
know about peoples experience with EV's over 100,000 miles and what it might
cost to rebuild an engine or transmission if that became necessary in the not
so distant future.

I also came across a '99 EV MV Weekender in the back lot of a dealer that
none of the sales people knew anything about. I'm hoping they'll be able to
find out more on Monday.

That's it. Thanks all,

Let us know more about the 99 MVWK if you don't drive it off the lot
yourself.
The VR6 is great.
Guess I am just dreaming. Maybe you can get the dealer to install some
of those deer whistles on the bumper that a horse could hear! (:
Sorry you have to be shopping, But glad you still can. Do you wish you
had the air bags after smacking it up? I am tossed on those things.

If you plan to hold on to the vehicle for some time (if you have yound
children for example) by the 99. It is a much better mechanical
package (better engine, current transmission, brakes) than the 5 cyl
set up. Plus you get all the benefits of owning a new vehicle vs a
used.

I had the same concerns when I bought our 95 EVC (Daisy) 8 months ago. I
talked to a lot of Audi and VW mechanics and, as far as the engine goes,
they all agreed that the flat Five Cyl. will run just about forever. Ours
has about 110,000 now and it runs great. I have had no engine problems. The
only things I would be concerned about are the smaller items like the
heater fan and air conditioning. But those seem to be problematic at any
mileage.

If I had a choice though, I would sure like the v-6 automatic. Mainly
because of the amount of traffic in the Denver-Boulder area.
