    PURCHASING HELP: 2001 vr6 Golf

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I currently own a stg 1+ B6 audi a4. There is a stage 3 vf supercharged 2001 volkswagen golf that I'm looking at purchasing with under 40k miles. I've never owned a fast car and this looked like a good deal to me. He lives 300 miles away and he said that he could have it delivered to me for a $2500 fully refundable deposit through ebay. He is selling it for $6500
    What should I look out for before purchasing this car? I'm just cautious because it seems too good to be true.


    Mods.... Engine: This motor was PAMPERED for the 5000 mi break in period, since then it has only had MOBIL 1 in it. Here are the engine mods.

    Scam, the mods alone are worth 6X the asking price. That would also be a cheap price for a bone stock golf. Refundable. ahhahahahahhahahahahha Until u ask for the refund. People like u are why I don't feel bad for the mortgage chrisis. I mean, post pics of the car when u get. bwahahahha

    if you want to buy it, call the guy, ask for updated pics so you can be sure he has the car, and tell him you'll pick it up in person. that way if its a scam you'll find out before you ever leave your house...and then can see/inspect the car in person before buying it.

    Yeah it's a scam....I told him I had to see the car before I purchased the car and he said he was too busy(??) The 2500 wasn't for delivery it was supposedly an ebay deposit. Later he said he would ship it for $6000....wow what a scam.
