Of course I find this when I am already buying another car. But I might be able to get a friend of mine to front the money for the thing. Why am I considering replacing 1 problematic GTI with 2 VW's that need work???? I hope the meds kick in soon....

Anyway... Older guy claims to be getting rid of it for his sister who is sick of her son getting tickets. That tells me it may be beat on. He says that it just needs a starter to be road worthy, so no road test. The breaks look good. Cosmetically the car looks pretty good. There is some minor rust around the rear passenger fender, the sunroof looks like it doesn't quite close, clean interior. The engine looks pretty clean. No obvious oil leaks or oil in the coolant tank.
How can you tell if the charger is going? I know common practice with g60's is to rebuild any charger that you dont know about. I am assuming I could tell if it was completely gone because the car would run like a dog, but are there tell tale signs of coming death?
Could this possibly be a good deal? ARG!! I think I really just want to hear someone tell me to stay away... but the thought of a G60 second car is gnawing at me.
I am taking all opinions TIA
