Trade 1g awd for 2g awd?

[wishful_laser]

Ive got a 90 tsi awd slightly modded. I found a guy that wants to trade me his stock bone stock 2g tsi awd converted to eclipse. Thing is his car he claims only has 86xxx miles on it. Mine has 60 miles. It was rebuilt and tranny too. Just put new 6 puck clutch in also 60miles ago.
My car has few mods not alot but include fmic and ecmlink v2.5.
His car has cf hood and cop setup thats it.
Would it be worth it for me? I know i have heard different things bout 7 bolt motors.
Thanks for your guys input.

I'd keep what you have. You've probably worked out the majority of the gremlins in your own car. Why trade away for a stock 2G with an unknown background? Besides, can you really appreciate the lack of power that t-25 will put out for you ?

COPs can be VERY finicky when done incorrectly or substandard.

Keep your car. You already have link which is half the battle. Keep your car.
You just put a bunch of new stuff in yours. Keep your car.

I dont think its fair trade just because mine has fmic and link. To find a 2g awd unmolested, whats odds in that with only 86000 miles. Main reasoni want to trade is ive always wanted a 2g love the way they look.

If it's something you really want to do, I wouldn't accept a straight trade, not with your extensive mods list and mileage. So long as your body is in good condition I'd be looking for a decent amount of cash on top.

Again, my personal opinion, keep your 1G. The 2G is likely to have strut rot issues anyway. The surface may look fine, but the inside of the strut towers could be rotted to hell.

Im thinking ill keep mine
One thing i cant figure out, my oil pan looks like its missing a bolt (or broke off) and i used my shop light to look at it. I found that the spot where the bolt suppose to go doesnt seem like there is even a hole for a bolt to go there. Weird

The 2g will impress all the high school kids

Both are great looking cars but I prefer the 1g, especially because of how rare clean ones are getting.

I would also keep your car.
