Ok guys, first post here, try to bear with me. I'm looking to buy a TSI AWD in the near future, within the next couple of months. If I find a nice body, but with a lot of miles on it, should I think about just swapping a used 6 bolt in it with less than 60k? Or should I spend the extra couple grand on a nice body with very low miles. If I was to get the 6bolt swapped in, I could take care of a lot of things before hand, such as porting and swapping out some things. I want to hear all of your opinions on this, help would be greatly appreciated.
 
finding a good body is a real plus in a DSM. Looking to swap the motor for a 6 bolt is better, but make sure you do it smooth, and by the numbers because more mods= more problems for DSM's.
