89 tsi in IN on ebay


Recommended Posts

i think it sold....and now its being sold again by the person who bought it....maybe im wrong....

 

what do you think its worth??? 2 grand and less???

 

Looks real clean, I'd give him $2k for it if it ran good. There's a number in the add, call him up if your that interested and see what he has to say.

i spoke to the guy who owns the car...seems like a pretty nice guy...says the injector leaks from the oring and it has an exhaust leak around the turbo....car looks to be in good shape from the pics....im considering it...but i hate sight unseen its always a surprise when you get it...but never a good surprise...

well this is what the dude just wrote me....im backing away..this guy got this car for 1,550 or something...

 

I have alot of interested people in this thing. If you would pay instantly I would possibly knock the price down to $3,500. Thats $200 and if you call I have another way that could save you another $200. This will cut your shipping charges to almost nothing.

 

this is exactly what he emailed me.....geez man....

 

sounds like a scammer to me

Hey everyone,

 

I was messin around on Ebay and came across this car which is now number 10. I threw in a bid of 1800 and ended up getting it for 1525. Car is overall decent but needs about 1,000 in body work and a paint job along with the injector rebuild and exhaust manifold. I ran a Carfax and ther is no accident history and the miles all jive in sequence. Long story short I flew in from Minnesota and drove the car back 700 miles without any problems. My plan is to finally keep this one as I always end up selling them......

just dropped it off at my mechanic. I knew the exhaust manifold was leaking but just found out all the bolts were stripped and 2 out of the 4 bolts were missing, must have fallen out on the way home as I looked at the manifold before driving away and they were there! I hate when hacks get ahold of stuff. Also the turbo is shot which explains no power. All and all a decent platform to start with as it's not all rusted out. I have a *DM 3" exhaust thats been sittin here waiting so will do that and swap out the turbo from my parts car and probably the head too....I am in Monticello. This thing is going to take some time but once she's all beautiful will post some pics. Even though it's a rat right now it still felt good to be back in a quest! :deadhorse:

Well if you have 9 already then you should be fully aware that the manifold is warped like they all are and its not studs missing that is the problem.

 

First sale was a scam how many user names you suppose he has?

We already had it apart and yes some hack messed up all the bolts. Yes I have had 9 others and never a warped manifold. Not a big deal, that's why I have a parts car! Guy seemed decent but who knows.....
