Hey all. The car has 190k, drives fine. It's offered by a shop owner that took it in for a bad clutch. The owner of the shop bought the car because it was more labor than the seller was willing to pay.
I drove it today and all works well, new clutch and a few other things. There is a new timing belt/water pump kit included. The shop owner told me that he pulled the cover and there weren't any cracks in the belt. Thus, didn't replace it.
He sounds like a legit fellow. Doesn't care to work on any more German cars BTW lol.
I'm looking for a fun to drive daily that doesn't look like ****. This car has been well preserved, no visible rust, big dents.
We fired it up and the engine was quiet. After the drive it was ticking, nothing obnoxious. I've read about high mileage 1.8ts and heard to stay away. But I wanted to check in with ya'll and see what you thought.
I've talked him down to $1750.
