CONGRATULATIONS, DAN!!
I knew that one was the right choice, given all of your other options. Tom's thorough checkout is also something to be considered.
As I said in our many discussions about this, you could get a complete repaint of the fender (which looks repairable from the photos), front bumper, address door dings, etc. plus either powdercoat the wheels or get different ones...
And have a 96 Polo (almost as pretty as mine) for less than that 96 Polo at Glanzmann for $5500.00, which still had paint issues.
Really glad you didn't buy the "smoker's special" The headliner alone would have been $400.00, plus the sunroof panel assembly, which is another $300.00. Not to mention her little "dent" in the rear quarter.
When do you pick it up? Is Tom going to meet you there and do the MAF? (Just over the Betsy Ross bridge from Philly) It would be nice to get your wife to follow you down to New Jersey in HER red 96 SVX. Then you could admire each other the 181 miles back to Connecticut
