Craigslist. Is it worth it?

Post by ChargerX3 »

Maybe this can be a thread where we bounce CL finds off each other.

To start off im not a big WV guy, but this looks to have some potential:

Get acquainted with VWs "service position".

Also, recall that replacing the starter on my Audi was supposed to be an engine-out procedure. I cut corners by dropping the transaxle only. This is the miracle of German engineering.
I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

Here's my "is it worth it".

It's a manual. Nuff said.

Fancy touches. At least it’s not an H2. Aren’t the H3’s pretty much Coloado’s? Friend of mine had the decked out Colorado 4x4 with the I5 and loved it.

Me and a coworker have been passing sub 2k dollar finds to each other.

SRT-4s are interesting.

Jeff only posts that H3 because it tickles his PP, but that VW service looks aaaaaaaawefuly awful.

The Audi had rod knock. Not worth the 800 unless you are parting out.

Good tires and on coilovers (not sure brand). If interested please shoot a text! ***CAR PAINT IS ROUGH (Pics do the car too much justice), COMES WITH NO FRONT BUMPER, MANY OF THE LUXURIES NO LONGER WORK DO TO BEING RIPPED OUT, etc for weight delete.
Although this one is neat:

I don't know why you'd even consider the green one. The silver one is probably a basket case too, but at least it looks decent.

Well I mean, we wouldn't really buy it- but my scraping the sides of the barrel you find some interesting finds.

Whenever you use forceful and overt verbal persuasion to try to convince others to see things your way, they're probably not listening to what you say, Instead they're looking for every error in you your logic and mistakes in your facts, all the while constructing counterarguments. Worse still, they don't merely believe you're wrong; they need you to be wrong in order to protect the status quo. And since the final judge exists in their own head, you lose every time. - The Influencer

Yea, I dont disagree. Problem is finding one that isnt already tuned to hell and less than $25k. This one isnt as bad as most. I feel it wont be long though until prices start to take off even more on well taken care of versions.

If in could find one in great condition under $15k I might bite.
