Good Deal?
« on: February 08, 2004, 11:24:35 am »
Hey everyone,

As some of you know i am looking into buying a 97 Tsi Awd.  I just want some opinions if this sounds like a good deal or not...because it does to me but i know nothin about these cars...

well heres the info...

135,000km tsi, awd, new eibach lowering springs 1 1/2" , kyb struts ,  front  cv and drive shaft ,k&n fipk  , autometer pro lite boost gauge , poineer mp3/cd deck . The car also has a HKS turbo timer  and stainless muffler, and a new Mass Air Flow Sensor with 17's and tires.  The stock options include.... leather, power seats, A/C, tilt, cruise, infinity speakers.

what do you all think? The person asking 14K with the rims and 12K without...

thanks eh

That sounds like a fucking STEAL.  I'd check for crankwalk, though...it can turn a steal in to a lemon.

Yeah check for crankwalk.  Any accidents?  Rebuilt title?  
If everything checks out clean then it's quite a good deal.
