Looks ok, just make sure you have a proper look round the entire car and engine, take.it for a drive listen to engine for bad noises way the car drives and feels etc... And if he's close enough go dobit before you bid or win etc...

Looks decent enough from what you can see in the pictures, if you go to look at it make sure you see some proof of the timing chain work etc.

I'd be ignoring the whole "wolfsburg" selling point as they're clearly aftermarket bits and pieces.

I wouldn't bid on that without viewing, passenger side wing where it meets the sill looks shot to fcuk!
if it's not just my eyes playing up then i would suspect there is A LOT more rust hiding under the sill covers!
Apart from that it seems alright. Inside look nice as well.

The fact that not one but two buyers have walked away from this would put me on edge somewhat.

Yeah that wing & sill do look a tad suspect actually.

Thanks for your comments so far.I was thinking the same about the previous non buyers.I will ask the seller about them,see what response i get.
I'm kicking myself now as i should have bid on this one :-

3 door put me off though,it's not really suitable for me.
Thanks.
