[DubSteve]

It has a STI top bonnet scope

[FknDubbin]

Colour and kit = Hot
Rims and scoop = NOT!!!

I actually don't mind those rims on that albeit they normally wouldn't be to my taste. Not a fan of the scoop but that could be fixed with a bad boy bonet!

[SoVeReIgN]

Offer them way less than the sticker price - A car that distinctive is going to be very difficult to sell (They would have known that when they took the trade in).

Then once you pick it up - Ditch the bonnet and the rims.

Or better yet, spend similar money on an A4 Turbo Quattro or a Bora V6 4wd.

Cheers,

Looks alrite....

Yea i agree ditch the rims and bonnet scoop....

However, i would be more than happy to cast my eye over it...but it wont count for much...im not mechanically savy...

Maybe a few of us cud go down and check it out to help a fellow dubber???

or maybe u can convince seb to have a look at it...dunno how u wud but worth askin...

if you dont mind telling us im intested to know how much you are getting off the price on the window. Reason im asking is that i have recently purchased a 2002 v6 bora with 80,000k for under $1700 after falling in love with two others which i missed out on. It cost me another $450 to get everything back up to scratch (brake pads, front mounts, cv boot) The v6 has all the bells and whistles including 6 speed gear box, heated leather seats, sunroof, etc, etc. I have since then put in some bilstein coilovers (approx $2700) and a kenwood 2 din cd/dvd with a garmin touchscreen sat nav component (approx $2000) So now im up to about 22k and am looking at some dish rims which would be under 3k with tyres. The reason im saying this is that there are heaps of boras out there for sale and you can pick up a stock car with a great service and driving history (luckily oldies and chicks love vw's) and you wont have to pay for a new bonnet and disposal costs for those awful rims hehe.. sorry. but on the plus side you can flog off the intercooler for a few bucks..

Also regarding the 5 year warranty it seems like you believe that you will be offered a 5 year warranty with the car, please excuse me if i have misunderstood.. I think what they mean is that the car had a 5 year warranty when sold new therefore you car might still be covered under that new car warranty but being a 2002 i wouldnt expect much of that left. Otherwise secend hand car dealers have to offer a mandatory 3 month warranty with their cars and that is usually all that they will offer. I hope that im wrong but please check this out and if i misunderstood you post ignore this whole paragraph

Anyway just my 2 cents worth, we can give you advice but in the end its going to be your dollars spent so good luck either way you go and keep us posted, i would love to take you for a spin in my car before you make a decision but i dont think you are in melbourne, are you?

UPDATE!!!!!!

Yes the pic posted is the Bora.

And on this day i made the deal official and picked it up. I got the car for $23,000. That includes a 5 yr warrenty from today. It covers and problem with the car, in that event i simply call up and send it to any licenced mechanic, which includes any Volkswagen service centre. The warrenty will cover all parts and labour

The car drives great and im happy with it. I agree with you fellow dubbers that the bonet scoop does the car no favours. Will eventually have it removed.

Will post some pics up soon


WISH ME LUCK with my new Bora which is spending its 1st night relaxin in my garage.
