Sounds about right for this pandemic situation. Otherwise maybe $5k. Cadillacs totally tank on resale.

That would be such a fun little truck to bomb around in. Get all 660ccs screaming!

That's pretty decent for what, 45hp?
Does anyone fit the turbo manifold and turbo from the turboed version of the EF engine to these? The extra 20hp would add a bit of pep.

There’s a S/C upgrade, larger carb and header you can buy. About $800. I’m good with ~45hp. I have watched a few JDM racers on YouTube though and they’re hauling the mail.

Been waiting for the ID Buzz for a long time. Nice to see it. VW is going to sell a lot of them.
Could never stomach Demuro.

He's a bit much. If there's a car I really want to see I'll watch the video. I do give him props for building a mini empire, though. 4 million subscribers plus that auction website must result in nice paydays.
I'm going to be pushing hard for my wife to get an ID Buzz. I suspect she will resist because minivan.
