[Browning David]

Just get a good set of snow tires for that TDI, and you'll be fine.  :)

>- black 90q20v with good history, purchased from a lister.  142k or so
>miles now, bought at 130k.  Mobil 1 going way back, fresh ATE

>brake fluid, tranny and diff fluids are recent fresh factory synthetic
>fill.
>- grey heated leather seats, good condition but the drivers seat is
>sagging (at least to my derriere)
>- mechanically solid, needs diff lock switch, a/c condenser (maybe) and
>radiator leak was epoxied.  Many recent repairs including interior
>switchbulbs, control arm bushings, balljoints, etc.  
>Suspension is tight
>and the car is aligned.
>- no signs of climate control problems
>- new rear pads, rotors, cables, and one new caliper
>- interior very clean, 7-8 out of 10
>- exterior fair, some trim missing, some scratches, 5 out of 10. 
>Blacked out grille, could use a hood, but no major body damage 
>anywhere,
>straight chassis.
>- upgrades include relayed euro H4 lights (awesome) with euro clear
>corners, Stebro exhaust, trailer hitch, in-dash CD player 
>(sounds great)
>with Soundgate interface to rear factory speakers, JBL front speakers
>- stock 14" BBS alloys with fair BFG tires, second set of 14" 
>BBS alloys
>with almost new, very aggressive snows
>
>If you have a serious interest in the car, drop me a line.  It will be
