getting a 1990 tsi on friday but should i take it or look for a better deal.

Ok heres the thing. i found a 1990 tsi with 210k miles on it. the kid said he wants 450 for it and all it needs is a coil pack, other then that everythings find on it. from what i saw when i was looking at it, its relatively stock excpet for having a mbc, intake, and 3" turbo back exhaust. but i was wondering, do i really want to buy a car that doesnt start and hes not 100% sure that all it needs is a coil pack. but at the same time where else would i find a tsi or even a gsx for that price?? some input would be greatly appreciated on what you guys think i should do. thanks.

Sounds like a good project car for the price.

If you dont get it let me know cause i'll pick it up. Sounds like a good deal. If you do get it and need parts or anything let me know, I got a shop full of all kinds of misc parts (going to do an inventory soon so i know everythign we have )

well im going friday with my friend 2 see if it really just needs a coil pack. if thats the case ill give him the money on the spot and me and my friend can replace it with the extra one he has. hey john what can of deal can you get me for a fmic, turbo mani, and and possibly a bigger turbo.

Keep this to PM's or your going to get your thread closed.

For $450 how could you go wrong? You can part it out for more if it's more severe than the coil.

yea you have a point. and sorry about that ill keep that to pms

seems so cheap its worth an attempt. Could probably always flip it for what you bought it for if you cant get it to start.
