This thing is far better than it was then, my friend that I got it from was offered $1200 for it in that condition so I don't find asking twice that in running driving condition with a pretty much new motor and with working brakes and a way to tune it an obscene amount of money, I'm sick of people from on this forum coming to look at it and telling me as soon as they leave on the phone that I'm a dumbass for asking more than a $1000 for it, could have just said it to my face and taken your ass beating, I'm sick of all the people on here talking shit on some lame ass forum about a car they know nothing about, if you have such a big problem with some oil leaking then give me the money for a new valve cover gasket and I'll fix it being that I'm fucking disabled and don't have the money to fix it my damn self.
Whoever offered you $1200 for it in that condition is a dumbass. I bought my white tsi with no leaks, running driving condition with rod knock of course for $800. And that was still too much for me. The gst I have now I bought for $1400 and it runs and drives perfect, rebuilt motor with 60,000 on it. And no sir, my car is not a "hack job." Everything is set up the "right way." I would have never bought it if I were you if it was in that bad of condition. maybe you should post a picture of the drivers side for everyone to see. And thats just the body, what else is wrong under the hood? You can try your hardest to get what your offering, but your going to have to find some dumbass to buy it. I wouldnt be posting it on this site. And also if this is such a "lame ass forum," then why the hell are you on here, you should be banned just for saying something like that. GOOD LUCK TO YOU.

Sorry everyone for the arguments, but the debate about this car is just way too much fun to pass up .
