Near new Eurovan campers trashed like this? Unbelievable.
I sold my '94 for CAD22,000 last xmas, and some just trash
theirs for a few thou of taxpayers money???

There were also numerous '96 and '97 B3 Passats. I can't help
think that some of those were that elusive TDI Wagon that I've
wanted to get for the wife.

Maybe some aptitude testing for owners of older VW is needed.
Don't understand the value of your old VW, and it is turned over
so someone more deserving....

Note that (as far as I can see), there was only one Toyota
Corolla trashed. Unless there's some misprint that speaks for
how dedicated owners of old Corolla's are to their car.
(The 90's Corolla is also one of the most reliable cars ever made)
