This would be a hard sell at anywhere near your ask price since it has no engine and the 01M automatic trans that is not well thought of here. You might think about fixing it, but a used engine is costly for the car since it's value, even fixed, is low due to the transmission.
Member Krout has a TDI block for sale, but he is in Florida. I wouldn't mind the clean car for a fixer, but not at a price anywhere near $2500. PM me if you would consider a lower price. I would like to see photos, if you can e-mail them to
