The car has 97,000 miles but is fully loaded in good condition. 1.8 L T AUTOMATIC. it is being sold to me for 10,000 flat. do you think that is a good price? give me your thoughts please

-Hold off for a manual
-Inspect Suspension e.g. Control Arms (as this is common factor)
-Leak test the car
-when was the last time major updates were done? Timing Belt?Oil Change?Spark Plugs?Oil Filter,Fuel Filter?
-Bring a code reader tool with you to scan the car for faults.
-test all electronics, radio,lights,switch for door and windows
-Inspect turbo

Check EVERY electrical switch you can find to see that it does what it is supposed to do.

EWW. That red crap (wannabe GTI?) is horrifying!
I've said this before, but people who do stupid stuff to their car probably are stupid in a myriad of ways.
Next! Avoid this one!

Its LIPSTICK, of course. She just wants to feel pretty! Don't hate. If YOUR car wanted to feel just as sexy she'd put lipstick on, too. Rouge... Eyeliner... I wonder what size thong she wears?
