I would check that car out top to bottom 2x. And at this point of time you should check for rust too. ONly go for a 1.8t if youre actually planning on modding the engine. If thats not in your plans then your V6 should be quick enough

 

I agree with FasterA4ThanUrs, I am not a big fan of buying cars that are already modded. Who knows how much the owner beat on the car while driving it. Beside, isn't the whole point of buying the 1.8T so you can modify it? That's my opinion.

Regardless, good luck on whatever you end up on doing.

 

+100 to what everyone has said. Modding a car is about you, your car, and your love for your car. Don't buy what someone has already done to their car -- it takes out all of the fun. All of it.

 

thanks guys i think i am going to reconcider this car, but i am sure that i do want a 1.8t as much as i love my car i realy want to make it my own. thanks for all your help guys, im sure you will be seeing me with a new ride soon tho

 

I agree for the most part with what everyone has been saying as far as not buying amodded car...but you can check for service records and look to see if he cut corners on his work. He did a lot...so if he cut corners, it would show and that would be a red flag. Also....everybody is right about the mods not adding to the blue book of the car...but lets say that the KBB for his car came back as 8-9 g's....well he definitely put more than 2500 into that car...your call man....your money and your time.

 

True enough, and you could buy it that way, and remove/sell off all that gear if you wanted to, which would recoup some money for you. But like the others said, look the car over VERY closely for signs of corners being cut during the work. If you find that to be the case, run away.
