DO NOT BUY THIS CAR WITHOUT HAVING IT CHECKED OUT BY A TRUSTED SHOP!!!! I don't care if the guy is willing to deliver it to your driveway! The car has had significant work done to it and there are likely lots of little (and not so little) issues with it. You need to know this before you do any deal. I'ma lso suspicious about him turning the car so quickly. Why is he getting rid of it? Also, why did you sell your 2l 16v GTI to pick up something like this? Your old GTI you knew about, and you could've pulled the weitec suspension off, sold it and been happy. Additionally, due to the motor swap you'll be put into prepared class for auto-x, where you're going to get your butt totally kicked by race prepped lotus' etc. Protect yourself here, get the car checked out, don't go for convenience. Remember where that got you last time... -josh --- [email protected] wrote: > All, > Not 16v related, but VW related: > Someone wants to trade me an '86 8v GTI from north > carolina for my Audi 5ktq.
