Lol @ VW... my buddy just bought an Audi A6 4.2L and I told him he shouldn't do it over and over... he did anyway and threw a CEL on his first long trip in it down to see me for my party :lol:

There's a :!: light at the top of all 944 clusters. It's common practice to put a piece of electrical tape over it so it can't distract you while racing.

my damn rabbit gti had an upshift light.. so did my 4000s quattro.. so stupid. VWs and Audis should have no dash warning lights at all. Then people wouldnt be such fags about them

It would also help if they would start over 50% of the time.

I am getting a TON of interest, but when it comes down to the $$ part they either want me to drop the price $3k or they have to go talk to their mom.

And I got this gem this morning:

Quote:** CRAIGSLIST ADVISORY --- AVOID SCAMS BY DEALING LOCALLY

hi,

my name is thomas and im from staten island ny. im 16 turning 17 and looking for a car, this is my dream car. You wouldnt happen to be into quads are you? im trying to sell my quad to get some cash for a car but if you were interested i would say my quad plus cash. also if you werent interested in that would there be any possible way at all for me to make payments on the car monthly? i would just take all of my paychecks from work, cash them and send u cash every week even if i have to. i know it might sound crazy but i figured it would be worth a shot. i would apprectiate if you shoot me an email back either way.

thanks a lot

Sounds reasonable. He wants you to be a dealership that self finances.

Did you tell the kid that there are institutions that allow you to borrow large sums of money and then pay off that sum over time? They're called banks.

Yeah, I told him if he wants to make payments then get a bank loan.

But no bank is going to let a 16 year old borrow $13,000 for a 2003 VW.

RJ, this is his dream car. If you dont finance it for him, you're killing a 16 yr old's (turning 17... as opposed to the 16 yr olds that turn 18 or 19 right away) dream. This is by far the most important thing he'll have to face in his entire life and you've ruined it.

What kind of organ bank collects quads? Isn't he going to need them to walk and/or push in the clutch pedal?


That is really annoying that you're not getting anybody with the actual money available. Keep it up though, somebody will eventually come around...
And yeah, I realize a quad is a 4-wheeler, but wouldn't you want to make your email as straightforward as possible when writing a stranger about trading for a car? I dunno, I like to sound intelligent when I make my first contact with people...
