Apologies if this isn't the place for this but I had to share. Just read the seller's description. I pasted it as well for those worried about the link (link has a couple pictures)

It's not often you come across amazing for sale ads but scouring the internet and found this and just had to share the horror and hilarity..

I half think it's a joke.. my favorite part was how it's no big deal and hey, you get $75 worth of fuel too.

Was getting 670 miles per tank of fuel. Interior decent no middle console. Seats good. Power window on passenge and locks don’t work. Bought it that way. 300k on odo. What I know is new from previous owner. Sending unit in tank, fuel filter, injection pump, brakes, an other odds and ends. I really hate to sell it honestly, who doesn’t like a mk4, right? I do not have time to do so, so therefore here is what has to happen to roll some coal.. Timing belt broke. Have new timing belt pulleys and what not to do the job no problem…. See pictures to see camshaft made a good impression on the head but it didn’t impress me not even the slightest. Lower control arm both bushings gone. Easy fix. I’m looking to get 900. Exactly what I paid for the car. I don’t need crack smoking comments or the I KnOw WhAt I GoT bs. Who doesn’t wanna own a diesel 5speed mk4. Fuel mileage alone an I am not bullshitting on that number either. Consistent since owning the vehicle. It also has a full 12.5 gallons of fuel in it. Timing belt went omw home from filling up when diesel arm and a leg so at that time that’s $75 worth of fuel. Best thing for contact is to use messenger I don’t actively be on Facebook so I do not use the app. Title in hand signed and notarized from when I bought it, just never sent it off. To busy and don’t have a wife to tell me what to do. Serious inquires only. If you come to look at the car. That means you will be leaving with it also. I don’t need to sell whatsoever, price is firm. I will entertain 500 cash an rest trade value. Y’all might say I’m crazy… that’s fine. Go find a reasonable tdi mk4 elsewhere.

$900 is nothing these days. From the photo of the cam, looks like it's been sitting outside with the valve cover off.
Big issue, and why I wouldn't go near it-
