My car.
Would like to deal only with someone who can personally see the car at this time.
PM me for contact info if there is serious interest.
I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules with this post.

Nice car, really nice motor and parts and a mass guy to boot.

good luck with your sale.

People looking to buy might be interested in the interior color and condition... Presumably black, but maybe not!

The interior is black.
The car needs nothing.
Please, anyone interested in details should PM me for my phone number for specific details and photos.

Someone will get a smoking deal.
I know it is considered irrelevant, but I've got over $50k invested in this one.
The Jake Raby motor gets better and better as it continues to break in.
It may take a while, but I'm confident the 1st serious buyer to experience it in person will buy it.
If I had more garage space I'd keep it.

This is literally my car's twin. Same mileage, silver over black with 18" twists (my car now wears MK2 5 spokes, though), 4/98 build, AND my engine is due back in September with the FSI 3.6 street performer upgrade. I want mine to be a forever car, but it is still interesting to see what people are asking for this spec.

I know I said "no, thanks" when I was looking in June, but now that I have a fully stock 1999, this would also be nice to have in the driveway.

I'll see if my Panamera that's up for auction sells tomorrow...

Looks like a good buy with the FSI engine. I’m tempted but I would have to sell my 2000 C2 tip and make up the difference plus taxes and reg etc. just a huge time suck

Fairly soon, I will submit it to BAT or Cars and Bids.
I don't own a smartphone( old school 62 yr young), so I'll need to make time to be near a computer to keep up with responses to questions in a reasonable time.
I'd much rather have someone see and experience it in person. I'm confident the 1st serious buyer will have to have it.

If i knew someone in the market for one, this car would be top of list. Good luck with sale!
If only FSI had a classified section......

This car will do well on either site. There is a c4 with a FSI engine currently for sale on BaT. That will be a good barometer for you. I want to come see it but it’s a bit far for me. Why are you selling after such an short time with new engine?

We have a couple new vehicles lined up, one of which we can enjoy more with our grand daughters.
I don't think my wife would like to give up her spot in the garage, so something has to go. It is usually only myself who takes it out occasionally.
We gave up a convertible to scratch my Porsche itch. The itch has been scratched and we want that open car feel back.

rock and roll man. I have no doubt you'll be able to move your car easily on cars and bids or BaT. I'll be in touch if I decide I want a 6 speed to complement my 2000 C2 tip. Im a newlywed so nows the time to push it with the wife...
