Does this look like a really great deal?

Or am I wrong? NPOCP

I just happened across it, not really in the market for one.

With that mileage, I'd really have an independent mechanic look it over before you spend the money.

If there is proof of timing belt and clutch replacement, that goes a long way to some of the possible major repairs coming up.

What four-cilinder did you have over there? The 2.0 8v? Or the 1.8T? If it's a dull 2.0 it's never a NP.

I think it depends on the year, I want to say we had both... Not really an expert on these. My '97 was a 2.0.

Well, did you like the 2.0? I had it in a Golf for a while and wasn't impressed. Drove a 1.8T in an Audi for a while, that was a nicer engine.

Haha, it was fine for what it was, A -> B transportation, but the 1.8T I am sure is nicer.
