• The TDIClub classifieds section is a heavily trafficked section of the forum that encompasses want-to-buy (WTB) and for-sale (FS) threads for the entire world. Due to the demanding nature and fast pace of this section, it is imperative that you know and understand the rules. It is also important to remember that this is the only parts classifieds section.

    Cross-posting and posting classifieds in the regional sections (except the dedicated thread in Ontario) is not permitted.

    Multiple items should be sold in one thread. Make sure to provide a description for all items in your post along with pictures and prices. If you start multiple threads with individual items, they will be locked or combined at the discretion of the moderators.

    Here is a quick outline of the classifieds section rules. If you don't follow these rules, you subject yourself to thread deletion, thread combination, infractions, or posting privilege revocation.

    Thread titles:
    • Put FS or WTB in your thread title. This will let other users know if you are selling or buying.
    • Briefly describe what you are selling. Thread titles have limited space. Be as descriptive, yet succinct, as possible.
    • Put your location in the title.
    • If space allows, put your price in the title

    Title example (single item): "FS: 2004 Mk4/BEW cylinder head - Portland, OR - $500"
    Title example (multiple items): "FS: MK6 fog lights, front bumper, headlights, grill - Detroit, MI"
    Title example (car part-out): "FS: Mk3 Jetta parting out engine & interior - Dallas, TX"

    Thread text descriptions and pictures:
    • All for-sale threads must include pictures of the items that you are selling. One picture is sufficient, but multiple pictures with different angles will help buyers. A picture is worth a thousand words. If you don't know how to post pictures on TDIClub, see this thread: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=286691
    • All for-sale threads must include a description. We don't charge per-word, so be as descriptive as possible. The more information you can provide, the easier it will be for buyers.
    • All for-sale threads must include a price. Auctions and bidding are not allowed. If you want to auction something off, use eBay.
    No picture, no price, NO SALE!

    Thread maintenance/updates/bumps:
    • When you sell something, update your thread with "SOLD!" Moderators will close the thread and update the title.
    • If you have multiple items for sale, update your thread as each item has been sold. When everything has been sold, updated the thread with "ALL ITEMS SOLD!" Moderators will close the thread and update the title when all items have been sold.
    • If you bump your thread, please delete old bumps by clicking on EDIT and then deleting the old bump. This will reduce clutter in your thread and make it easier to read. It also makes you look less desperate.
    • If you drop your price, please update your first post in addition to posting the new price. If you would like the thread title changed, click on the report post icon and let a moderator know what you would like the title changed to.

    Moderator intervention and infraction points:
    Moderators will be monitoring the classifieds section. If a moderator determines that you have not been following the rules listed above, corrections will be made and infraction points will be assessed to your account.

    What is an infraction point? Simple - it's a system of keeping track of user behavior. A moderator can assign a point value based on the severity of the infraction, as well as an expiration date on the points assessed. If you accumulate a certain number of points, the system will auto-ban you for a predefined amount of time. The more points you accumulate, the longer your ban period will be.

    One example of points is as follows: multiple threads will be combined into a single thread, with the number of infraction points assessed corresponding to the number of threads merged. If we merge four threads into one, then you will be assessed four points that expire in 30 days. When you reach five points, the system will auto-ban you for one day.*

    *This is an example based on the current infraction system structure. We reserve the right to modify the infraction system at any time without notice or updates to this announcement.

    Thank you for your cooperation, and good luck with your sales and searches! :)

(5) 02 Golf GLS TDI\'s Used Only for Emissions Testing

Hi Folks, I have a line on (5) five 02 Golf GLS TDI's, all automatics, all but one with lux pkg. These are going up at a VWOA sale on 11/14/02. These vehicles were used only for emissions testing and have absolutely no damage with all under 100 miles and will have their full factory warranty. I do not know what the final selling price will be but, if you are interested, pick the one from the list below and post or email me the amount you would be willing to pay. The one with the highest bid will then have to provide a $1000 deposit by 11/13/02 for the hope of getting it. I will cap my profit margin at $500 per unit and if there are players on all 5, I will lower profit margin to $350 each. Example: John Doe has the highest bid at $16,250. I will then try and buy this vehicle at the lowest price possible. Let's say I get it at $15,450. The final price of this vehicle will be $15,450 + $200 prox. for sale fee to auction + $65 actual cost for my bank flooring fee ($115 actual cost bank flooring fee if have to use my reserve flooring line) + $500 for my profit = $16,215. John Doe owns this one at $16,215 instead of his higher bid of $16,250. Not that it would be likely but, even if I got it for $14,500, we would just add the fees and John Doe get's it for that price. In other words, I would have to take the highest bid and then add the fees to it and BINGO, I now know the maximum I can bid on for that piticular vehicle. If it goes for more, I don't buy it and then I return your deposit. What do you think of this? I am open for better game plans. Isn't this sh!t fun? BTW, I think we should close the bidding by midnight 11/10/02, that way you have a day or two to overnight the deposit which must be to me by no later than 11/13/02. Later!

Hi Nik Pali, Actual shipping cost estimate to NYC would be $650-$800. I do not know for sure but, I think these units were used as lab rats to certify emissions for the stringent CA regulations. Later!

Re: (5) 02 Golf GLS TDI\'s Used Only for Emissions Testing

Hi NYTDI, I won't know if they have a CWP until I see them in person. It's not one of those type options that are specified such as the case with value booking. If interested, bid as if it doesn't and maybe there will be a surprise.
Later!

Re: (5) 02 Golf GLS TDI\'s Used Only for Emissions Testing

Hi Folks, I stand corrected. My friend Hans was at this sale and these vehicles did run. They were not announced in the same manner however. All of them sold at a price that would have been impossible to obtain on a retail bases at a decent clip below invoice. Example: The one interested party at $16K would not have been enough to be the owner, even with the lowest selling unit w/o lux pkg. The only thing this means is that some unsuspecting customer's will be paying stupid money for these vehicles from a retail standpoint. Two of the five units went for not a lot under invoice. Go figure. Later!
