VADriven.com Forums - 97 Tsi AWD 55k miles!!

Yes, that is correct! 55k miles! I am selling my 97 tsi awd 5 spd. The car has the following mods done to it:

Built 6-bolt motor with great compression and only ~1500 miles
weisco 9:1 pistons on 6 bolt rods
272's
dsmlink V2 with a perfectly overhauled ECU with new caps
950's
act2600
fidanza flywheel
fp3065 w/ fp band clamp o2 housing and wg turbine housing
tial 44mm wastegate
wilwood 4 piston brakes
3" exhaust
greddy fmic
wideband
ground controls w/ tokiko shocks
cf hood with aero hood latches
roadrace front and rear strut bars
sway bars
jmf smim
fp 4" intake
2gb eclipse headlights
tinted taillights
new alternator
slim fan
catch can

Now that we got all the good stuff out of the way, the bad:
The car has an R-title. PLEASE READ ON BEFORE DISMISSING SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CAR!! Carfax states that the car basically ran into a ditch. They even have on there that the car hit some shrubs, etc. They also say that the airbag was deployed (reason why there is a grey one installed) BUT that there was no frame damage. They basically totaled the car for a new fender, front bumper, and maybe a suspension piece or two. It's ABSURD that this car be tainted by something as small as a ditch. I have the carfax to verify all the miles, etc as well.

Now, as hard as it may seem, please do NOT let a VERY minor accident deter you from making a purchase decision on such a BEAUTIFUL low mileage 2gb awd dsm!!! This car is STUNNING, and with a set of nice rims it would basically be perfect. I was going to keep this car, but I love money more than I do vehicles apparently. If I part this car out, I will get 10k EASILY for everything, including the shell as someone will buy this pristine roller and throw their current mods on it irregardless of the r-title or not.

I am going in a few directions here as to what I am going to do. I may or may not part the car out and sell the rolling shell if I do not get my asking price for the entire car itself. I am asking 8500 for the car as it sits, or I am willing to trade for trades of 9k+. The reason behind this is that I am likely not going to keep your trade and will sell it, so if I trade my car to get another car to sell I need some kind of incentive or I'll just keep what I have and sell it. I can also sell the rolling shell for 3k. The shell will come with:
mint interior
drivetrane minus trans (can add for 500 more)
stock 2piston brakes (can add wilwoods for 500 more)
stock exhaust (can add exhaust for 250)
cf hood

This is a PERFECT opportunity for any of you 1g guys, or even 2g guys to buy a BEAUTIFUL low mileage shell and swap your parts over for a one of a kind car. You can't FIND dsm's, let alone 2gb 5spd awd cars with this low of miles for this cheap.
