Does this (second used) car looks alright for the price?

http://nl.ww3.autoscout24.be/classified ... asrc=st|as" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - 8.999€ (but price is discussable, so less)

The description says the following:

2009 Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0 TSI R-line.
- 157 000 km.
- With open roof
- Leather inside
- Nav
- 280hp (it's remapped?)
- selling with 2 previous owners.
-'Car is in very good condition, starts and drives well!'

I'm gonna see it later but does the price seems correct or is it just a bit to cheap? Meaning there's some things wrong with it... It's wrapped in dark purple and under it the (original) color is black, maybe it is to hide rust or minor damage? I didn't ask the person who sells it about these things yet, it's a pain in the ass to ask many question on the phone as the seller might just wimple me off and say it's already sold. I will go and check it out sunday or monday. What are some things I should ask/double check? I don't wanna end up dropping €1-€2k to fix it incase there are things broken

Also it has a crack on the front window as you can see on the last image, so I might need to replace with window first before I can drive it legally. (no idea if it's approved to drive on the road yet and a new window is €500-€800 ?)


I was first looking to get a 2009-2010 1.4 TSI 160hp but they are listed one for 8k and one for 8.5k. And I heard that the can break as it's a matter of time (if the engines aren't replaced).
Here are some examples:

I mean for nearly +€500 I can get a Scirocco with twice the power, doesn't that seems strange?

Thanks.

You can pick up 2.0 tsi rline for 5-6k with similar mileage here in the uk so that doesnt seem cheap to me. I would definatly get it checked over by an expert before buying though. Last thing you want is to have to spend loads getting it fixed. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah here (Belgium) prices are nearly twice as expensive as in uk . Was looking for a Celica before and found out that you can get them (twice) much cheaper in UK.

Is the mileage high for a Scirocco 2.0 TSI R-line?

Also does the turbo needs a lot of maintenance, a friend of me told that turbo engines tend to break fast.

Worth mentioning that it's not an R-line at all, they weren't introduced until 2012 or 2013. It looks like a standard GT with the bumpers and skirts from the Scirocco R, supposedly installed by a previous owner (might be worth checking for recorded damage). Engine is almost definitely modded if it is indeed 280bhp, likely stage 2 as that engine, EA888, was 200ps/197bhp.

Thanks for letting me know. How can I check if the car had damage before? If I pick it up then I'll be third owner.

Also does the modded engine carry any risk, more wear? (I'm assuming yes)?

Also the 'gt model' = 2.0L engine?

Huge thanks for the heads up/reply though!

do yourself a favour and buy an R you will not regret it!
