Today I found a Ti locally, not in the best condition, but what's really good about it is the price. The seller will let it go for $2000 (obo). I just registered and started reading about these cars, but I'll take any feedback I can get. It's a 5 spd with 130k miles... the catch: it's been beat up. I took pics of the dent on the rear and it's got some minor door dings. I couldn't see/picture the interior because it was dark; will try to schedule a test drive tomorrow. Pics: If I buy it I'll be giving my other car a big break. Thanks for reading. | | | 09-11-2006, 06:00 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Tampa, FL Posts: 677 | wait wait wait....you have a GTI! im jealous lol The car is pretty beat, but if its only cosmetic problems and the rest is in great shape it might be worth giving a shot. Luckily the back panel under the tail light is one piece that isnt hard to replace, if it was just a little more to the right you would be in trouble. Definetly test drive it and check out the interior, let us know how it all workds out. PS ill take the GTI while you break in the ti =) __________________ my new world | | | 09-11-2006, 09:20 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Portland Oregon Posts: 1,363 | Giving you drive a GTI it really dosent matter what the body of this looks like, this would be a project car, EVERYTHING, make sure the engine runs good, tires, brakes, oils, check for leaks, look under the car for issues. Your best bet would be, taking the car in for a checkup, see what the pros have to say. also, niki you sure thats a gti, it could be a rabbit | | | 09-11-2006, 11:26 AM | #4 | Junior Member Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Fort Stewart, GA Posts: 4 | I'm not caring much about the dents and scratches right now, I just want it to be reliable. Maybe later I decide to make a project out of it. I mean for the price it don't get any better than this... I will only offer $1,600 to see the expression of the seller, it's obvious s/he hasn't taken car of that car. But, the seller lives in a military installation where the speed limit is 30mph, so hopefully there's not a lot of wear on the engine/trans/etc. I'll try to get some daylight pics later and will try to drive it. I really want to be a long-term member of these forums now. =) And yeah, it's a GTI. 8 months and 24k miles, it definitely needs a break. | | | 09-11-2006, 03:52 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Tampa, FL Posts: 677 | OMG!!! 8 Months and 24k!!!!

There's no money in hand yet, but I doubt the buyer will be backing up, specially if he has any love for german engineering. And I was thinking about upgrades already. :/ | | | 09-12-2006, 09:42 PM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: Westfield, IN Posts: 1,335 | is the car a manual or auto? nice buy and welcolm to the forums!! __________________ Greg M42 Club member 186 WTB: HELLROT RED CLUB SPORT 95 ti sold but staying in the family. | | | 09-13-2006, 08:18 PM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Quad Cities, Iowa Posts: 2,110 | Well tell us if that deal falls through.
