Picked this up for $1500 with a misfire and ended up being just the wires. I am not new to car forums or euro cars. I have been on VWVortex for 8 years now and owned 27 vw's this is my first non-vw vehicle and is a lot of fun so far. it came with the wheels and e-codes, so far i have painted the grille and fixed the misfire, the plans are sued headliner, amg wheels, and possibly air.

on to the pics:




and one of my last car for good measure:

Nice find.

I just picked up mine for 2K - everything works except for the radio - 114K miles. 1 owner - always garaged and dealer serviced. Previous owner is a personal friend and co-worker. Svc record shows head gasket replaced 80K, wiring harness at 92K - both known factory issues - otherwise lots of TLC. Very nice 2.8











Nice lady in pic is PO's wife.

Those are light wheels, popular for the performance improvement and tolerated for the look...
which can grow on you once you like the lightweight characteristic.

Bucky's current look is rather fitting imo, and larger wheels means stiffer ride,
so until Bucky gets a touch taller, I'd stay on 15s.

Thanks! - I suppose she took a likin' to me since she gave me her car for a song, but I'm still pinching myself - bottom line, they're good folks and it didn't hurt that they just bought an '08 E350.
