Gamble88 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 (edited) I don't want to sell this but I no longer have time to work on it.

Last guy didn't tighten the tie rod so the alignment is far off. Should be towed. Can arrange this at buyers expenseTurbo manifold has a crack.

Dred_85.5_TSI Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Would you be interested in selling the Hatch portion of the louvers? I'm not so interested in the side pieces, but, I know a few members were looking for the side pieces separate from the hatch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Quest Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I'd be interested in just the sides if a deal could be worked out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamble88 Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Buy the car it comes with louvers. I really don't want to deal with parting them out because everyone thinks I should give them a deal and that isn't going to be the case.

Crazy Quest Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 No ones forcing you to do anything but i saw what he posted and figured hey maybe if your trying to make a garunteed couple hundred bucks id ask if you would part with the sides and he takes the middle. Either way nice car and good price considering what i payed 2700 for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamble88 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Ok if anyone that is LOCAL wants the louves, they are yours for $500. Here is the deal, you come take them off after you give me money. If you break them while taking them off then guess what your SOL. If you lose any hardware while taking them off your SOL. If you damage any of my windows or car you will pay me for it. Capiche? Once they are off the car is for sale for $1800 and no less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedyquest Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 I think you will have better luck selling the car if you can give accurate information about what is wrong with the car. Also your asking price is a bit high imo. Just a thought Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamble88 Posted April 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Replaced turbo manifold and did the alignment.Car still smokes and burns oil and idles rough. I'm thinking it's a cracked head but I could be wrong. Still she starts up EVERY time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
