Anyone know anything about this car? If I didn't already have a couple I think I'd have to pick this one up.

lsd, memory seats w/lumbar.... definately worth a look at that price, though the "runs rough" sounds $$$$

Nice wheels. Never can tell what runs rough means, could be a broken T-belt or slipped a tooth. Or it could be plugs, wires or fuel pump issue.

Jeezzz, you'd think that they would at least replace the driver's side headlight, it looks like crap. Looks like a good buy with a good price

That car looks like it has been ridden hard... really HARD! The LSD might be worth something, but I'd say that car is probably destined as a parts car.

Replace the headlight ?? like any low end bottom feeding "internet based dealer" is going to SPEND $250 for a headlight on a turd that barely runs ???? Odds are the thing was "repoed" and run through a wholesale auction for next to nothing. It could have potential but still a crap shoot the transmission might be worth $2,500 Any car car be restored , not all should be.

I still want it... I don't know why I like cheap German cars. You think I'd learn my lesson. I've owned 5 of them.

Notice the grease on the intake tubes. I would say they tried to get it running right and gave up. I'm betting it's worse than they let on about it. Engine compartment looks rough for such a new car. Looks more like my abused 81's engine compartment. Also look at the floorboard on the passenger side it's missing the carpet and has a data cable attached. I would assume it's beat.
