    I'm not sure what you mean? The grill badge? Mine was in the that spot and if you have a look around they all are...

    Other the badge sitting on the wrong spot on the rear. Car looks clean.

    Quite cheap for 18k. Can't beleive the stealership in act wanted to 28k.

    Wonder if it has a clean title?

    The badge is the least of your worries with that car

    From the pics what I saw...

    - missing parcel shelf
    - missing centre headrest
    - missing centre caps
    - clutch pedal is a standard pedal not .:R pedal (replaced master cylinder & assembly??)

    Not sure how it can be claimed to be 'meticulously maintained'?? guess I'm just uber fussy...

    Well spotted mate!! Will have to get you to check the next car i want to buy!

    $10K cheaper in such a short timeframe = alarm bells, but we won't know unless we talk t him i guess. I'm not after another at the moment but it's interesting keeping an eye on them.

    Yeah, well spotted 2000MN! Could it be that it got rear ended and the hatch pushed in and damaged the parcel shelf which then damaged the headrest?

    Those rear centre head rests are terrible at blocking the vision out of your rear view mirror, wouldn't surprise me if it's kicking around somewhere like mine was! Could well of had its parcel shelf though bent up in a rear ender though...

    well at $18k, spend the $250 and take it to a vw specialist to get it inspected thoroughly. im sure that $250 will go a long way to saving u thousands if it isnt a great example, alternatively, if it doesnt check out, then u can offer an even lower amount and use the savings to bring it back up to speed.
    thats the conundrum of buying used cars, spend the money on a good example, or cheap out on a poor example to make it better?
