Default 97 Tornado Red VRT Jetta GLX $6000 firm

$6000 cash i keep my speakers sub and amp
$7500 you keep all the audio
$8000 you keep all the audio and I will give you your choice of a set of Porsche rims and tires or Corvette wheels and tires


Well this somewhat breaks my heart. Just seeing if I can get what I want for her. I've got tons of great memories in this car. I wanted to buy this same exact car back in 2005 or 2006 as my very first car but it was sold before I could snag it and sure enough I eventually found it and bought it.

I bought it and it was a wreck it was very neglected. Nothing was connected or working. i put tons of money and time into this car including a new motor with a turbo kit.
I'm sure plenty of people know and have owned the car before.







custom 3" exhaust hand made using a Borla muffler



the infamous "black star" roof

Since owning the car in August of 2009 I have swapped out the leather for fresher better condition seats. heaters and all work. The motor is an OBD1 VR6 that had around 35k miles on it. Custom pieced together turbo kit with c2's latest 93 octane software. Headgasket spacer Garrett turbo custom made IC piping etc. The car makes 350whp 370tq dyno proven. My sheet is currently at Speed Tek LI hung up somewhere. Alpine deck with iPod wire installed. There is an Infinity subwoofer in box and amp installed. The speakers may or may not be included depends on the deal made. They are JL they were very expensive I may decide to keep them and swap them for stock speakers. I have installed Autometer cobalt(blue) digital oil pressure and boost gauge as well as an Innovate(blue as well) wideband. Boost and oil pressure are on the A pillar and the wideband is on the steering clam shell. Hid head lights and fog lights(one fog light is out right now) along with a euro switch. Real deal authentic none of that replica nonsense euro bumpers real vento bumpers. Sunroof works. All window regulators work driver side one is on its way out though. Suspension is weitec coilovers they would definitely need to be upgraded sooner than later. Skid plate is also installed as well. Also a nifty willwood brake kit on the front.

The flaws of the car are the following. The rocker panels have seen better days. Pictured above is a dent in a trunk. Someone hit me in a parking lot I suppose. The passenger side of the car has IMMACULATE paint making the driver side look a little dull in some spots, and a bit on the hood and some peeling on the trunk. Not sure if a good detail will fix all of this or if it needs a half respray. Also, the e-brake does not work to its full potential.

With all that being said I am looking for around $7500 for the car. I can include corvette wheels or porsche wheels for a little bit more it would be up to whoever wants to buy it. I am not going to take too much off the price because I would just rather keep it and save the memories also.

Thanks for your time everyone thanks for looking also.

I would also trade for a 20th Jazz Blue so let me know I have some cash to add as well.
