    Over here in Germany those things were taxis, so the scrap yards are FULL to the brim with spare parts - You can get an original Bilstein strut for 250 bucks. In Germany this car is a no-brainer. I will get one in a year (when my current leasing contract ends).

      We had one as the family car from 116k to 275k miles. I budgeted an average $2k/year. Some years were easy, some cost $4k!

    For folding the seats, the drivers seat is supposed to automatically push forward when you engage the tab to pull down the rear seat back. Maybe that’s something that the earlier cars didn’t have. Is this an 03-05?
