Avoid This Car!!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1996-...QQcmdZViewItem

A good friend of mine is looking for a TT. I saw this on Ebay earlier this week and told him about it. Seemed like a great price. Car looks a little low, however, I thought maybe it was just dialed way down with coilovers. I told him to make sure he did a PPI before buying.

He left a deposit with the dealer and had them take the car down to a nearby dealership for the PPI.

The good news: I was right about the coilovers.

The bad news: PPi came out awful. It was in a major wreck (signs of frame damage), and was not fixed right. It also has a host of machanical issues. If anyones interested, let me know, otherwise, I won't list everything here (it's quite an extensive list).

Just wanted to give a heads up to fellow 6Speeders.

I wondered why it was so cheap! I figured something was amiss with it.
