Looks nice. Caveat emptor the EA837 3.6TT engine. Oil leaks, broken bolts inside the engine. Read about it.

It doesn't matter how fastidious the previous owner was. The engine in that car is a ticking time bomb and no amount of previous maintenance can fix it. I wouldn't go near it.

Proof? And yes. I know about the long thread about bolts in the oil pan for one individual. And many of us have had the typical TCC leak. Mine was found by me between 25k and 30k miles since I'm one of those **** people that changes their oil/filter every 5k.

Please provide something to support your claim. Thanks in advance...
