Ok so im shopping.

1997 Volkswagen GTI VR6

92k miles.

Under 6 grand.

Thoughts?


Im trying to not be picky here. Looking for something that CAN be fun to drive, 6 grand (USD) and under, under 100k miles. and reliable is well, a must. Mind you i realize you wouldnt be able to say X local car is solid, but id rather not go shopping for neons ya know?

Ideas?

Above 18.000 USD

I'm looking at buying an Audi TT 2003 model with 45,000 kms. Awesome deal from a family member.

Plebian.

When you start the VR6 up, do you hear Ticing in the valves for a short bit?

is the idle smooth, and reving? ( you shouldent feel the motor at all, only hear it )

the Milage is a little high, check the HEadlight switch ( known to wear and some times catch on fire )

The Blowe control, Move it to all the speeds and make sure there is no Hesitation to the fan comming on, the Connections are known to Green and CAuse some issues, and the replacement part is a little Expensive.

Has the car been Mod'd at all?

This from our local web classified ads. I'm pretty sure there is one in your location. http://www.lespac.com/search/index.php? ... &x=43&y=13 Also found this
in here. http://www.lespac.com/search/index.php? ... no_region=

there are plenty solid used cars, no sense paying an extra $1k just for a car brand (lol at noobs who think VW's are leet)
and 92k miles is too much at that price range

wow you actually refrained from posting "lol at poor nerds I drive a lambo to get ice cream down the block" post

clap clap

I had a lot of fun with my Probe GT. The turbo models are going to be at least 15 years old so I'm not sure if thats something you want to get into. But my '90 GT had 145/199 hp/tq and after I doubled the boost PSI it was definitely fast. Not as fast as the Z but it wouldn't lag far behind.

You could also get a late 90s Eclipse/Talon. Prelude/Civic with some N/A bolt-ons. A V6 Camaros or Mustang is just a big sled so I would stay away from those.

Havent driven it as of yet. Still kinda browsing.

Fair enough, i am the new owner of a VR6 VW and i am finding about all of this stuff..

Next step is Deleting the Damned fucking ISV... Grrr..

anyway, Good luck.
