yeah your car looks amazing, mine probably won't ever look that good, the car has 87,000 on it but in really good shape and just had timing belt and other belts and things serviced, just wondering if theres any common problems i should be aware of. the only mods i'm doing for now are simple k&n drop in filter and the darkest tint i can possibly get.

paid $9,000, car has 80,000 miles, but new belts including timing, new water pump, tires & some other things and came with an extendable warrenty...... thats the market in central PA, very awesome car to drive doesn't even feel like a wagon, handles better than my 04 gti vr6 and i understand that the 1.8t engine is super easy to make HP.

since i purchased i installed a k&n drop in and an RS4 grill, no other mods for awhile but when i do mod i'm going for the "rat" look only cause the exterior isn't perfect theres minor chips and whatnot, i definatly wanna spray paint big rims flat black and slam it.

not sure if these pics will show

very nice car. the avants look a lot better than the sedans (not saying the sedans are ugly for those who have one) nice pick.
