hey i just called the owner of this car:

http://autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ca...sp=y&cardist=7

he said he put a brand new turbo in and has the receipt for it and all. what do you think...he put another like 6 thousand miles on it i think though. he lives about 7 miles from me. he said he hasent had the timing belt done but it has the new turbo...let me know what you think thanks. i will probably offer like 13k for it.

 

also...what are/are there any warranties on this vehicle would you think? i forgot to ask him. thank you.

 

i live in jersey...this is kind of important. thank you.

 

No warranties left except for things like the catalytic converter. I don't think i'd pay much more than 12k though.

 

not being a quattro i definitely wouldn't pay more than 12k for it.

 

Didn't see that, ok now I would advise against not buying the car at all!

 

Price seems high and not a quattro. Did the 2001 1.8T have leather as an option or only "leatherette"?

 

just because it is not quattro means i should not buy it at all?!

 

well in most cases AWD>FWD.

I've had my fun with FWD cars. If you ever want it to be fast, FWD will have traction issues, 311 hp in a 2500 FWD car - I hooked up ok with slicks but still had some wheelspin. AWD may weigh a little more, but the extra 2 wheels turning is worth it.

I mean you can buy an FWD, they're fine for a daily driver, but if you've never experienced the "planted" feel of AWD, I would defenity say get awd.

 

Wierd, I spot a quattro badge on the front grill... but it definately says 2wd. I'm wondering if the 2wd thing was a typo... HMM. 14K seems high though to me as well... I paid less, and had lower mileage -- and mine is definately quattro.
