I am looking at a b5 for very cheap.. it is all stock.. dd. taken care off etc. But it has 235xxx miles... is it getting ready to go? I am able to get this car for about 2800.. Give me some info please

 

You need to get more info from the seller. With that mileage, the timing belt should have been done at least two or three times by now. If it hasn't been done or the seller doesn't have documentation proving that its been done, either walk away or offer him $2k. What year is it? Motor? Options? What kind of shape is the rest of the car in?

 

I agree with CCA4,possibly cheapr if U can..

 

way too much loot for a car with well over 200k

if you ask me i wouldnt even offer 2k...

 

If it's the 30v and not an auto and documented well taken care of and no CELs, problems, etc I say go for it. Post year, engine, tranny type, and what service it's had done. Is it a quattro or fwd?

I just bought my 99 32v that was immaculate for 5k (had 191k miles). 5 speed with lots of upgrades, maintenance, etc. I know the mechanic who works on it (from a local Euro indy shop) so that also gave me much more confidence.

I find in cases like this, when people are selling the car is made out of gold, but when they offer advice for buying the advice is like the car is made out of dung. So, use your best judgement and provide more info so peeps can offer some help.

 

Guessing you meant 30v there.....

Anyways, I picked up my 12v 96 with 206k miles on the clock for under a grand....There are better deals out there bro....Talk em WAY down or move on, IMHO.

 

I dropped 2800 on mine.

211xxx on the clock, 220 now. Reason i spent so much, cuz the rest of the car is in neglected shape, is because it has a new motor. These guys are right. Had I to do it over again, I would have come out the gate offering 1500... Oh well, Live and learn.

 

To much money for that many miles regardless of its documentation IMHO. Is this your first car?

 

car is awd manual 1.8t

 

year is a 2000
