My Girlfriend is looking for a car not a Vanagon - we're happy with Pokey and don't really need two.

She's got the opportunity to buy a 1988 Cabriolet, red with black top, white interior, 5 speed, ps, new exhaust and battery, no rust, non smoker, saftey and emissions tested for $4000 CAD / $2700 US. Is this a good car? Any other VW recomendations in this price range? What should you watch out for around this year in Golfs?

Thanks,
