Things to remember when owning a DSM
You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.
If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.

I've owned a 91 TSI, so I know the problems and more. Everything was replaced on the car... engine, tranny, axles, etc. But no matter how much you replaced something always came up. Its sitting at my parents collecting dust and all it needs is a clutch because the old clutch is slipping. Engine only has 89k, turbo has about 500-1k miles after rebuild, etc. But its not for sale
