Default What should i do..

im lookin at an awd talon turbo. tsi or whatever but he wants 4500. I like the car, has a new stage 3 clutch, new struts, new intake, and is pretty clean. its stock turbo and has a poor bov. it will come with a front mount thats not on (he says it will lag if he puts it on cuz the turbo is stock)... seems to run well, has a bit of a deep idle...


whats your opinions...

find as many as you can on ebay and track their sales. research kbb.com to get a general appraisal value. make a list of all the defects and upgrades. ask for proof of purchase on things like the clutch.
by the time you finish, you should know where you want to be price wise.

what year is the car, how many miles are on it? What do you mean by poor BOV? Do you have a link to it or any pictures? If its a 1g then that price is gonna be a rip off, but a 2g it may be justified, depending on the shape

i agree with TheEngineer, if its a 1G its not worth it but a 2G that would be a pretty good price. Poor bov? like some knock off ebay sh*t?

sounds like a decent deal if it's in good shape.

What is the mileage. That will play a big role in the price. It seems like a decent price, but if it has high miles and has been beaten on, you could be looking at a new motor fairly soon
