Hey everyone i need your help on this deal. I found a 1999 vw golf for sale at a used car dealership. The guy is selling it for $4,200. Its a 4 door, with a sunroof. I dont know what model type it is because the badge was taken off.
Its a 5 speed, and it got 122,417 miles on it. The body is in good condition. The only thing is that the hood is mis aligned on the right side (not by a lot). I went to carfax and typed in the vin number and it said 4 records were found. So would you buy this car? Thanks for your replys

Re: Good Deal? (tjl)

Well it does have a 2.0L engine. He opened the hood. And i think it has power windows. Im going to look at it again today, and get a test drive. The battery was dead yesterday, So he said come back the next day. Well by looking at the hood you cant tell its mis-aligned. You can only tell by sliding your finger along the space between the right fender and the hood. (the right fender is a little higher than the hood.)
And the dealer said that he buys cars crashed and fixes them up and sells them for more. But hes pretty honest. The crash damage isn't poorly done....you can only tell when you lift the hood. I have the vin number if you wanna look at it. cuz maybe that can tell you what model it is.

Ok well me and my dad test drove it today. And it ran like new. My dad brought it up to about 7k rpms. But the only thing that is wrong with it. Is that it needs an oil change. The car started right up and everything. It has power windows, locks and sunroof. So its an A4. Oh and the battery was fine now.

Re: Good Deal? (carnutchuck)

Its blue. and i dont know much about vw's so i cant tell you what kind of body it has. and yea im trying to get him down to 3600 but he said thats how much he bought it for. so i dont think he will go that low. He said that he bought it at an auction. So i dunno who the previous owner would be.
