Looks like a good deal. Much cheaper than building it yourself.

[AudiSport12]

Great deal.

Owner is a great guy as well.

Lol that's my car

[Moonman22]

word Im gonna offer him 6000$...Is this type of build going to be reliable? Im not gonna put that many miles on it and im always good with maintenance and what not

[Moonman22]

Lol worth a shot to offer right :)

[ray4624]

Haha yea it's worth the shot. Shoot me a text. My build thread is on here as well and most of the guys here have helped me with the build and doing it right.

[ray4624]

This is the right place to go. Almost everything I learned about my build came from here and the helpful members on this site.

Buy it before ray changes his mind

[B5Riches]

What's the point of buying an car already built? Isn't the idea to build it yourself tho Rays car prolly is immaculate but for me to pay that tag on a 99 I feel is high tho ray spent 3x as much perhaps I dunno it's tough for one to sell such an investment and to buy.

To save thousands? If one is well documented, I wouldn't mind buying it myself to save mucho coin. The loss is all the seller's.

The 2.0 stroker kit alone is 2 grand. The turbo new is around 1500$. I'd said both of you are in the ballpark conserning price.

Gentlemen both are correct in your context. However all depends the condition and longevity of the parts. Not to bash but typically one who would install such parts, would also drive the car to enjoy thus means the parts lifeline can be well spent by now.

There is no cheap way around German cars, it takes great toll on pockets, eventually things all need servicing and price tag or if you know how then it's a different story. GL with the buy and Lmk how it works out and if you ever need something. Best

if it's local go test drive it and take it to a VAG shop and get an inspection. It likely needs some maintenance so you can decide if it's in your budget. if seller isn't OK with having a shop look at it then don't buy

Owner has a vagina he shouldn't sell just to jump into a bmw and because he drives his fiat more

[Dan[FN]6262]

Exhaust tip is 2/10. Would not buy.

[Moonman22]

Thanks for the advice guys I'll let you know how this works out if I end up buying it this weekend

If i were to buy a built car, I would feel much more comfortable buying one off a regular poster here whose been around for 6 years. That being said, eliminator on a stroker,
I heard he really wants a Honda.

[redline380]

I heard he really wants a Honda.

Yeah, something about a naturally aspirated and gutted civic hatch so he can hang with the import guys? Guess he can't handle an Audi cause it is just too awesome and needs to downgrade.

Reason for sale is shortly after the build was done, I moved to city and couldn't bring it. Car is getting sold to buy a track toy.

I took him for a ride. I'll bring it to any "shop" he wants. Nothing to hide and my build was documented on here. It doesn't need any maintenance currently.

Shh people aren't supposed to know about the fiat.

I didn't like it either. It's not on there anymore.

I just want something with a fart can. What's wrong with that?!

The only reason I'm selling the car is to get into something different. The car doesn't deserve to sit in my driveway and get driven once every couple weeks around town. It should be driven.

Also, I did the elim before the stroker and it's an absolute blast on the street. No need to go full frame. It just depends on your goals.

If there are any other questions I'd be happy to answer them :)

Thanks I'm still contemplating anyone else have an opinion?

[Davdraco1]

I would ask you this. Have you ever built a car with performance in mind. If not, these cars are quite expensive to do on. Go find something with an LS motor and get that itch for building a car out of the way. Much cheaper. If you have, do you really want to go through all the troubles again of waiting for parts and breaking things and buying new parts and blah blah blah. Or do you just want a fun kickass car you can go pay for, tune the key and rip in. The choise is yours.
