My friend is going to buy a used 2001 2.0 2 Door Golf:
- 61,000km
- lowered with Eibach sport springs
- neuspeed front strut bar
- rear sway
- 17" long beaches mounted with Michlen Pilot Sport w/50% tread left
- beige interior
- 5spd manuel
- 1 rust spot on a chip mark at the top of the roof
- CEL was lighted on (owner says the car hasn't been driven for 1 month so it could be a MAF)
- NO WARRENTY
- 16" winter rims w/tires . good for another 2 seasons
Does this accumulate to $16,500? or can i get a better deal out there? does anyone have a car to match this price thats better ?

Sounds like a good deal to me
but you may want to have it looked at.. the CEL could be something big
wouldn't want to get any surprises especially with no warranty

no... why?
i traded in my 2001 VR6 with 31,000km & 5 months of warranty left for $18000 + tax savings.. close to $20700
i have no CEL, no rust, Sunroof, monsoon, leather, heatseat... fully loaded

Re: Need your opinion please. =) (Mannn)

well my friend is looking to spend the same amount.
if you can match what he has at a lower price. perfect
but with 16,500 it seems like our options are pretty much slim to none. MANN if u can find a good car for 16,500 with atleast warrenty it would be greatly apprciiative of u ....... i think we spoke b4 on the phone... aren't you a good friend of Laurence Eng?

MANN which dealership is this ?
maybe my friend and I will go check these deals out... we have 2 weeks to decide.. because that guy is gonna fix his CEL and rust spot before we buy his car for 16,500 .
