Thoughts on this b5

So my last upcoming purchase went really south and alot of people helped me avoid that car and did alot of good by telling me to stay away and showing its flaws etc etc. I thank everyone who helped, now give me your thoughts on this LOL

OK, that's a for sale ad you can work with. I see nothing alarming though I'd want to know how old all the parts (K04s and clutch especially) are. The fact that the PO spent the premium for an AWE exhaust vs SSAC and Samco hoses vs autobahn88, etc. speak volumes to me.. Good price and worth a look IMO. Same deal as the other thread though, get a PPI before you fly out.

get a cold start to see if smokes. let heat cycle to ensure cooling components work, and aux water pump comes on after shut off. do a hwy pull in 5th or 6th to make sure clutch is still holding. Otherwise, it looks like a clean and well invested example!

Matrix did the car I bought 7 years ago. It held up pretty good. There were some iffy stuff they did but overall the car was done well.

nice looking car.

It's certainly a hell of a lot better than that other pile of shit you posted. Looks like the owner does actually want to sell it. Maintenance is critical so if he's got receipts for work done that's a major plus. Looks in good shape for 200k miles.

Looks to be in good shape for 200k plus miles. Lots of quality parts which is a good sign.
