Exclamation 1G Eagle Talon TSI (AWD TURBO) In need of a new home!



I Initially purchased the car in Germany with the hopes of turning it into a drag monster, but due to multiple deployments to the sand box and impending seperation from the military I don't have the time or will anymore. Here are the specs:

- 1G 4G63 2.0L engine w/stock Turbo
- 107,315 miles
- 16" custom rims
- Pioneer Tape/CD changer/EQ
- Leather interior
- Power lock/window/seats

The good: The car is still in decent shape for it's age, with a little T.L.C. and some parts I believe it could be tearing up the dragstrip. The current turbo is still in good shape, I believe it was replaced around 80,000 miles but don't have any documentation on it.

The bad: After returning from a 9 month deployment, the car was successfully jumped, but then started taking longer and longer to turn over until finally not firing up at all. I am not very mechanically inclined so I'm not sure what the problem is, but the car was running fine when it *would* start so I don't think it is anything severe. The drivers seat has a large hole, currently have a seat cover over it. There is a small rust spot forming over the right rear wheel well.

The ugly: When I had the car shipped over to the U.S. from Germany the title was lost. I have been trying since last August to retrieve the title but it appears the only way this would be possible is if I took a trip there in person and raised hell. As it stands, the car cannot be registered per-se as a street driver, but I believe there is a way it can be given a 'salvage' title. I'm also not sure if any kind of registration would be needed for this to be a track-only car.

I'm asking LOWERED TO $650 for the car, or the best offer I get. Feel free to contact me with questions or to come by for a look, I live right by Macdill AFB in Tampa, right off Dale Mabury. My email is marc@packetfilter.org, I will give my cell # to those who are seriously interested.
