It was a misspelling. It means it had lots of Katrina. I would be cautious buying this vehicle, although old VW's do float.

Patina Meaning

patina is not rust. It is the accumulation of dirt and wear associated with unrestored cars, furniture, ect. It is not necessarily undesirable. Many show cars have good patina. Meaning that they look as old as they are, but not like brand new cars, and not neglected, just used. Leather, wood all get more interesting with patina. Patina on metal is oxidization, but usually refers to good oxidization that further protects the metal. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patina

in the case of the car your looking at a nice way to say rust. patina referees to an aged finish that metal takes on.

I could also only mean oxidation on the finish and bright pieces.
