I appreciate the input, and as stated, the price is open to offers. I know how much I would like to get out of the car and if I can't get it, I will simply make it my winter beater and drive it forever. I feel I've been as honest as possible in my FS ad.

that was an unusual situation and by no means the normal price range for these cars. that seller either did not care to do his research or was just motivated to get out of the car.

also, in the last pic you can see the sunroof from the inside.


best of luck with the sale. good looking car for 300,000+

I have not checked the camshaft for wear yet. I will do that (pull valve cover and look) this week after I clean up 3 large trees I had cut down. As for the sunroof, yes it does have a sunroof. I have a receipt of the sunroof drain recall being performed. It does not leak, I drove it daily all this past winter and fall, zero leaks. I got it back from all the bodywork and ran a hose over the hatch area to check for leaks also, no leaks. Also, the lower belly pan amd side skirts is intact and installed.

Please disregard.

My brother lives in Toledo and his built 99 just ate its 3rd turbo. I may send him your way. Did you check for cam wear? I'd prefer if he was able to buy a machine that doesn't require major repairs...his 99 has been a PITA.


********After speaking with my brother last night, I think he's going to be out of the TDI world. Thanks anyways! :D
