Reaaaally... Just leatherette on these 4bangers eh? I was really hoping to get a top of the line interior, I'm not as worried about the rest of the jazz. Since I only need this car for 3-6 months i'm really just looking for something reliable and comfortable with a low cost of ownership that i can flip soon. hmmm... well i'll keep my eye out for more of these and ask him about the timing belt.

Thanks

however, the V6 w/ leather & wood, instead of metal, interior trim would probably be viewed as more top-of-the-line.

in case you didn't know, the V6 has a chrome strip along the gutter line, while the 1.8's have black plastic.

if you want the luxury touches, get the V6.

That said, i've been a 1.8t owner for over 10 years and i've never regretted not getting the V6.

Ya, I'd have to drive two hours to take a look at this 1.8t, so I'm taking all advice possible. Worth goin down there? Having driven two V6s will i be dissapointed with the 1.8 interior?

BTW

If you are in the PNW several of the dealers in the Seattle/ Tacoma/ Bellevue area offered a leather upgrade for the 1.8T. It was an aftermarket upgrade for about $750 and I believe it was just the seats not the door cards.

They discontinued it in 99 when side impact airbags were introduced.

That car looks like a base model with 15 inch wheels and no sport package.

The clutch's are strong. I had 165K on mine when I sold it. Make sure the suspension doesn't creek and make the car is on synthetic oil.

low cost of ownership ≠ Audi you know. Get a honda if you're looking to "flip" the car.
