[S10DRVR 10+ year member]

Its a 97 GTI 2.0 2dr, Heres link http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/cto/1199139888.html

2k a good deal?

Exhaust needs new tip, and rattles at low speed. Small dent on side.

140,000 miles though.... Anyone know how much it would cost to swap in a new engine???

Has Neuspeed t-bar,tint, Neuspeed intake, Clutch full, new mids and highs, clean in and out.

Handled and accelerated like a beast.

ONLY CONS: Exhaust, Miles, dent

Thanks,

Love those cars they can tuck rims like no other if you was in Cali I would buy it.

I've got 4k to spend so 1500 sounds really nice. Is that with labor and all?

How much do you think it is for labor(Swapping)?

 

[stangman67 10+ year member]

labor for an engine swap is gonna be anywhere from a grand to 2 grand. Its not all that hard.

offer him 1800. i drive a VW and always will. go to a local VW shop after you get it and have them do a tune up. drive it till it starts knocking and then re-build the 2.0 into a 2.3. that car will run FOREVER! lol
