Not only that it looks poorly done- check the drivers seat wear.

Looks like a clean 01 Turbo on paper. Has some type of exhaust and upgraded clutch. Interior looks nice with CF and sports seats with minimum wear overall For 73k.
Yes I went and had a look at this car a few weeks ago.
I posted my impressions in this thread. It's a nice car for mid 30s.

Ah I see it now. Thanks! Looks like a couple cosmetic items, cali to va is a long trek for me though....

Here is one local ish to me, about 80k miles but tiptronic which I won't absolutely rule out, but no details or pictures on the car other than 60k service was completed!

I don't know that car, but back in the late spring or early summer I stumbled on a CL for a silver TT that seemed too good. The ad was very similar to that one, but the picture was clearly not from that area of VA (or anywhere in VA for that matter).

This one's pic at least looks reasonable for the area, but I would approach it with caution/skepticism.

Test drive the tip, you'll be surprised.

Yeah, I emailed the guy asking for more pictures because he only posted that one! And I got the response "its all very good, you want to see it? are you a cash buyer?"

So either it's a scam or he has had too many tire kickers. Either way if you are really trying to sell a car from 01 with only one picture for at least 3 months and your description says just completed 60k service when car has 80k, you must not be trying that hard or are terrible with computers

Miss out on a page and miss out on a spotting. If I hadn't already bought mine I'd likely have looked into that one just to see if a return to stock was worth it. For some reason when I see a wrap though, i worry about how it was taken care of otherwise... i have no idea why I link wrap with lower quality of care though.

I gave serious thought to buying a silver car and then just having it wrapped. There were a couple of silver cars on the market in the low $30k's, and I thought, well for that price, you could wrap it the color you want. Then, in a couple of years, you could wrap it a different color. Might be fun to change colors from time to time and much cheaper than painting and you wouldn't sweat rock chips, etc. But, then I realized a good wrap was going to be about $5,000 or $6,000 rather than the $2,000 or $2,500 I originally thought. Then my car came along - which was exactly what I'd been searching for.

I wouldn't rule out a wrapped car, but do agree with you that I'd be a bit suspicious of it, even if just for the true paint condition under the wrap.

Hi guys. So i finally worked it out with the non payment on ebay and I just relisted it. 31K takes it. I have a bid on it now without contact from the bidder so I am sure its BS. I hate selling cars, lol.

If you are looking for a great driver that is super fast and needs nothing (a wavetrac would do wonders though) this might be the car for you.

Hi guys. Looks like I've found a car (sadly not a p-car yet). I have 21 free Autocheck reports left before my subscription expires on Feb. 17th. Please PM me if you'd like a free Autocheck. Thanks.
