There's nothing Euro about it other than the manufacturer though. I don't see any aftermarket parts.. Tails MIGHT be smoked, but it's hard to tell in that picture. I also see the damaged right section of the rear bumper. Yikes.

Go for a VR6 if you can afford it. Night and day difference.

I can't knock the mk3's though. That's where my heart is.

A 2 liter that had to be rebuilt at just 100k miles? That sounds odd.

the car may look great on outside but if the ride is poor and u feel that something is weird with the engine...pass up on it. A hardcore dub fan like me would rebuild it and make it perfect but IMO skip it, find another....there will always be another out there waiting.

also considering the car is 10 years old, most cars used found in that year and lower are gonna have problems and blemishs and things that are not quite pleasing....just put some work into it and itll be good.
