About $16k US for a highly modified near-show car? And you think that's ridiculous?

Don't mind Toxic, he's just upset because he wanted the car but driving like a cock doesn't make one any money.

You're a fucking idiot. Full stop. That car makes 400hp, and it looks to have near $10k US of mods and work done to it.
If you think VW are junk or don't perform well, you've either never been in one or you're plain stupid. I think it's probably both.

OK add up the cost of all his parts bought anywhere in the world, and see if u can get cheaper than his asking price for the whole car.

German quality? LOL, the pre-mk4 golf/jetta are the most unreliable cars that you can buy in NA. The concept is german, but the assembly is done by mexicans who get $2/hour.

Modifying a car is not an inverstment, you always lose at least 80% of how much you spent on the mods. For that car $17K would be much more reasonable.

ROFL! How fucking many of them have you driven?

i guess that explains why u get the cars cheaper than in europe.
either way if u just want a car, its a fucking ripoff
but if you were looking at buying a golf and tuning it, its probably a lot cheaper than it would cost you to do it yourself.

agreed. anything apart from tried and tested minor modifications are a waste of money unless you plan to keep the car for a long time.
i wouldnt buy it, just cos i wouldnt trust it not to break, not knowing how hard the previous owner had driven his tuned up car.
