Good Afternoon folks, let me know what you think about this vehicle

Anybody have carfax/autocheck?


Thanks.

Not quite at that point yet, but if you do take a look at, please post up your thoughts.

The shop stamp on the servicebook is Tillman's in Santa Rosa, Northern California. Call Mike and ask him about the car, I'm sure he'll have information on it.

1996 did not have a Mobil 1 sticker on the intercooler. That was 1997. There was a sticker on the front of the intercooler that is a Shell oil sticker.

I just had a PPI done on this car - going to get the full download tomorrow. Going to see if there is a deal to be done here on Monday - happy to share PPI with you either way. I got some history on the car as well - seems pretty clean. Here's a link the seller sent to me with more detailed photos: http://s482.photobucket.com/albums/r...%20TT%20Arena/.

Yep, and not that long ago according to the mileage. Sold new in Bellingham, Washington, north of Seattle. Looks like a nice car..

Was recommended to have Gilbert at Vertex to do it (really only place open on weekend and Tony never called me back). Anyways, came back pretty clean- most major one was lower valve cover oil leaky. Prolly less than $2k total in repairs (knock on wood) and obviously LOTS of mod opportunity as the car is bone stock.

Wired seller money today, will be picked up tomorrow for delivery Monday/Tuesday. Going to be a long weekend....

thanks for your offer to help!
