Finally!...Bought another Scirocco!

["Richard Deede" <rdeede@hotmail.com>]

Well it has been over a year now since I took my last Scirocco off the road 
parted it out due to a ripped up front cross member. I then bought a brand 
new GTI VR6 that was nice and I even drove out to the Cincy meet this past 
year, but as much as I loved the car, it just wasn't the same as my 
scirocco. So I sold my GTI a few weeks ago and decided to once again 
purchase a Scirocco. Well last night I worked out a deal to buy my next 
Scirocco.

I'd like to first and foremost publicly thank Riley McDowall for his help 
and I'd like to especially thank Cory Langford for driving out of his way to 
personally inspect this car with a fine tooth comb and give me a fully 
detailed report of the car. It's people like this that make being a scirocco 
owner truly great....it's a entirely different world with Mk4 owners.

There are good points and bad points about purchasing this car.

First the bad:
-The car is in Vancouver, Im in delaware. Have to have it shipped and 
getting it through customs will be fun.
-The car needs a few things, nothing too critical(head unit, new wheels and 
tires, US Spec instrument cluster)
-The paint is fairly new but has some imperfections that need to be looked 
at


The Good:
-The car is exactly what I have always wanted, its an 88 with a 1.8t motor 
out of an 98 Audi A4.
-Fresh paint, non factory Red color(deep red)
-Kamei X1 body kit with reiger wing molded to the car
-custom exhaust with center outlet muffler
-67k miles on body, 40k miles on motor
-many upgrades incluing suspension, eurolights, brakes, etc...

A swap like this is very complicated and it is a risk buying it without 
seeing the car first but after considering it for some time and talking it 
over with various people I decided it's worth the risk. Only time will tell 
if I made the right decision.
Im excited as hell and look forward to getting the car which will take at 
least a few weeks. If anyone wants to see pics let me know.
