Default Can't find the right car.

Well I can't seem to find the right car so I think I'm gonna hang on to my GTI for a while as a daily driver and keep looking. I'll post up when I do find the right car.

I'll tell ya, it's tough. sometimes you've gotta settle though... I'm looking for a black 951, preferably an S, but whatever... but, I've found a silver rose in impeccable condition (aside from the paint, which sucks). my problem is I'll probably not find another like this one conditionwise... do I go for it or keep looking for a good black one? (not to mention, this one is currently in the family... I know EXACTLY what I'm getting when I go for it)

That car in your avatar looked like a hell of a car (saw the ad), maybe they'll figure out what its really worth. Keep your eyes open, and you will find one! It will probably take some time, but it will be worth it in the end. I thought Artie told me that you had a line on a decent local car?

Good luck!

Nate,

Did Johnston ever send you any pics of my old car? It better be in good shape, or I'll cry!

No he never got back to me which kinda tells me he's not ready to sell the car, I made it pretty clear that I was gonna send a deposit once I got the pics and they look as good as the ones you sent me. I'm still looking and my car is still for sale.

Ryan the car at byers runs and is great mechanically and the interior is amazing but the body has had issues before and it's pretty apparent that whoever did the body work didn't know what they were doing. Thanks again guys, I'll post up some pics when I find a car.

I had that feeling too. I wish he would get the photos to you. I think you would enjoy her more properly...

Don't know what you're looking for, but rennlister "icat" (Keith) is seriously considering selling his. His 951 is very clean. If I was in the market for another one I'd buy his. If my wife would just cooperate.

Keith wrote the manual on the 968 mirror/door handle conversion. Cup wheels and an SFR cat-back. Otherwise stock.
