[SOLD] FS: 03 2dr 5sp BAD MOTOR [W. Massachusetts]
For sale is my 03 2dr 5sp with 354k miles and a bad motor. The quote I received to get it to where it was, for rebuilt head, piston, injector and the turbo it is tuned for is close to $5k, and I'm not prepared to go that route. I will be taking offers for the following 10 business days. If, by next Friday, I've received no acceptable offers, I'm going to have this repaired to run stock. I'm asking $4,000 and that can include delivery if you are within 200 miles of the vehicle.
The car is located in W. Massachusetts at a TDIclub trusted mechanic, who can verify the condition of the vehicle on this thread only. Please do not call him, as he is not being paid to answer every tirekickers phone call. Ditto for emails/PM's. If you are serious about the vehicle, in the area, are willing to put in a legitimate offer, and you have the money to back that offer, I can offer to have the vehicle towed to you on a flatbed within a 200 mile range from zip code 01001 (Agawam, MA) if you so desire.
The damage is not due to a broken timing belt or any sort of collision.
Thanks, and feel free to email me offers at skoullias@gmail.com or call me at 718 704 4734.
Again, please do not call the mechanic directly unless you are serious about buying this, willing to make a legitimate offer, and have the money to back that offer up. For those of you out of the area: unless you have a good reputation on this forum and are demonstrably a potentially serious buyer, requests for information and/or photos may not be my or the mechanics highest priority. On advice from my mechanic, I am not going to part this out.
Please post your questions about the mechanical and cosmetic condition of this vehicle on this thread only, as you are likely to have at least some of the same questions someone else does, and it would be appreciated if you did not make me or the mechanic respond to the same question several times. The car is in exceptionally good cosmetic shape considering its mileage, and this can be confirmed by the mechanic. There is chipping on the hood and above the front windshield, but does not have any significant rust or damage on the body otherwise. It has lived in Texas, Virginia, and New Jersey.
