2007 VW Volkwagen GTi 6Spd Stage1

I think that's a steal for the price. The wheels alone could fetch 2k and you could part some of the aftermarket parts to offset the initial cost of the vehicle.

Car looks babied as fuck and own obviously is car enthusiast so you know it's taken cared of.

*Chain... and the plastic tensioner is garbage on those engines so they let go with great frequency and it's an interference engine so... yah. Good on him for doing it for age regardless of mileage if that's what he had done. The rimming belt sounds a bit kinky though.

I don't know why I said belt, I meant to say chain but the main point was the tensioner breaks and that's what needs to be done. I have one.

Post ad and don't mention that the car is not drivable due to stolen front wheels/tires? Makes you wonder what else the owner is hiding.

The tensioners are shit but pretty sure it's a chain on K series

If something smells fishy/gut feeling something is wrong, find another deal. This one just sets off one too many alarms to me...

And no, I'm not saying this to scare you guys off. Just expect to pay a lot more than what it's posted for and possibly walk away empty handed with time wasted.

Just do a bit of research and think of the highest price you'd pay. Throw the owner an offer, if no, then forget it.
