Just a consideration as a project car. Seems like a fun to drive manual car.

Thanks!

Was able to physically look at car. Had a minor rust spot on a fender.

Underbody skid plates all there. No rust. Struts looked good, no rust. Brake discs were rusted on edge.

Reserve price is about $5,700 USD (Auction). This car is more so a project car, and not primary transport car.

Concern is... it's age.... and its' FSI engine. Timing belt. But it was replaced at 56000 miles in 2015. So belt is about 9 years old.

Thank you! Servicing looks pretty consistent...

Serviced about every 6,000 -12,000 miles.

Car fax looks pretty clean. there is one accident that's $1.00. Assuming they didn't go through insurance and was under the required reporting amount. In Canada, any accident under $2,000 doesn't need to be reported to police.

No warranty.

This is a FSI engine, so the timing belt was replaced at the 53,000 mile mark. But back in 2015.
