Stainless Steel Oil Return Line  
2 Sets of Rims and Tires  
-Rex8 VW OEM w/ Summer tires about %50 Tread  
-S4 Fakeouts w/ Snows (Installed at Swerve)  
Monsoon Audio - Probably the best stock audio I have ever heard.  
Plasti-Dip Rub Strips  
Windows tinted all the way around, not sure on %  
Red tailights

Recent Maintenance w/ Reciepts:  
Brand New Coil Packs, Brand New Key Fob - Dealer  
New MAF,Spark Plugs, Coolant Temp Sensor - BlackForest

New o2 Sensor

The Bad:  
2 Small spots of Rust

- First is near the Passenger Front Wheel Well
- Driver side door sill
- CEL is currently on (waiting for an O2 Spacer to come in, code will be cleared once installed)
- One of the Summer Rims has bad curbage.  
-Good size dent in rear quarter.

My Asking Price is 3900 **_OBO_** w/ both sets of rims and a few other parts I have kicking around including an APR Stage 1 ECU. Car will be getting a detail and oil change before being sold.

This car is awesome in the snow, I have not gotten stuck once, or even close for that matter. It is fairly quick for what it is and has been an enjoyable car to drive to Rochester, Syracuse and Ohio many times.

Half passed hammed =D just ordered new pads and rotors all the way around. CEL will be taken care of. I have put a lot of money into this car and the new owner should have nothing but oil changes and tire rotations. Shoot me an offer!

Hey that dub looks familiar… This car is a blast to drive and pulls really nice! GLWS!

(btw there is NO WAY that dent in the quarter can be “popped out” it needs to be repaired correctly)

no. they just have stupid little things that go wrong from time to time that everyone makes a big deal about.

ive owned countless vws and they all seem to be fine but when you buy one that was ridden hard and put away wet there are going to be some issues to be expected.

from what i see the car seems to have been sorted out and should be pretty solid now…

agreed, my 161k mile 1.8t has a bunch of annoying problems but nothing that stops it from driving.

If I had an extra 1k laying around and some free time I could fix it all 100%

car hasent left me stranded once so far
