I guess I was thinking that in addition to the model being mis-named, the price, the apparent condition, the "fuel injection needs to be replaced, was always a reliable driver prior to injection going" statement, the lack of further pictures, the fact that it is actually "the wikipedia car", etc. all adds up to a  for me. Perhaps I'm just a bit suspicious by nature? |
IDK- it's not screaming 'scam ad' to me- the price is about right for what it is with the defects, and, well, some car or another has to be the Wikipedia car!
What did you pay for yours? Wasn't it close to that condition and price? It wasn't a scam, now, was... ah, never mind.  |
FYI, just for fun, I wrote to this guy TWICE (on 10/15 and about 2 weeks ago) and as of today, still no response. I still think something smells...

No, not really. He seemed to like being able to tune them, find parts, and buy them cheap.

That's what I figured... just a typical VW flake, not a scammer. A scammer would have taken "deposits" on this thing left and right.

With today's prices, this is starting to look like a DEAL!

I kinda thought it was a fair deal when it was first posted ..but your right it's a deal for sure in today's market....IMO finding complete original t3's is almost impossible and getting harder and harder ever day

That car has been on the market for a long time. I wonder if people are just scared of the Colombia angle or what?

If I had to guess I would say that would be a big reason why it hasn't sold

Honestly if I had the money and the space, I would be tempted to do a fly and drive back from Bogota. That would be an awesome road trip.

Cheap ass nice don't know what they have T3s are a deal of the past. Like 5 years ago dead.
A clean og T3 should command 5 digits. At the least. Welcome to the new age. Radioactive.
