Buying a TSi...

[fattyblunt]

Well, I'm finally buying a new car, and a DSM seems to be the best choice for Colorado. I am looking at one in particular:

The car has a few minor cosmetic problems: The driver's seat leather is starting to crack, the headliner has a minor cigarette burn, and there is light hail damage. Everything else, however, seems to be in good condition. The gearbox feels great, suspension is very tight, and the engine sounds and feels new. The car is bone stock, and has had one owner. Unfortunately, the dealer does not have all of the records, but he did pay for the clutch & tranny work(apparently one of the synchros for third gear was grinding) and has had it fully checked.

Is this a good deal for this car? Also, is anything going to give out soon(such as the turbo or clutch cylinder)? This is a big purchase for me, and I'd really appreciate the help so as not to make a mistake.

i think thats a little pricy.. i could see that car for 7000-7250 being a decent deal but not that high.. the mileage is decent, but not overly great. with the light hail damage and what not that takes a few bux off. The AWD will definatly help vs FWD in the Colorado Winter... See how much you can talk em down.. and have it inspected.. I myself would offer 7500 or so...
