When I'm told the motor has to be pulled for O2 sensors. I hit the brakes in a bad way. Goofy noises from the tranny, the tires were done for. MFA was F'd up. And the sweet smell of burnt oil through the vents after a 30 minute drive. While it only had 89K on it. It had been run into the ground. Oh how I would have loved to have it.
No Suby either. As per my usual shitty timing, the GTI is going away this weekend so I had no time to play around. She's just going to get it before Christmas.
In the end I bought the 6. Higher mileage, but it had a stack of service records in the glove box. It needs a wheel bearing, which they are fixing. I'm amazed.
It'll be a good car for making sandwich supply runs. And I'll have it paid off in a year and a half. I possibly could be back to my winning ways...
