    I am looking for a 96-98 GTI VR6 somewhere close to PA. In terms of what I am looking for:

    -Lower Mileage (<120k preferrably, I don't mind higher mileage as long as chains/maintenance is done)
    -I DO NOT want your rust bucket. Minor surface rust is okay but no rot!
    -No black cars!
    -I would prefer a stock car but minor mods are okay

    In terms of what I am willing to spend, well that all depends on the car. I'm looking to spend NO MORE then $5000 but I am willing to negotiate. Let me know what you have!

    I know you said no black ones but this seems pretty clean. Just food for thought

    Yeah I've looked through that ad a couple of times but I just can't make myself buy a black car again. I had a black 99.5 Audi A4 3 cars ago and I couldn't stand how every speck of everything could be seen on the car! I appreciate the post though!

    Hi:
    I have a car with 187xxx miles, everything done, a florida car and i'm the third owner, the second owner is my very good friend so i know the car was in good hands before me, a/c is new(the whole system), engine compression is on point, new timing chain, guides and seals, new oil pump, new water housing including aluminum crack pipe with all the parts original from vw dealer and ecs tuning, new coilovers, new trans+engine mounts, and a lot of parts that i can list you but i can show u receipts of everything. All stuff is being done by a vw master mechanic and everything works prefectly, oil change every 3k religiously, etc etc.
