calm down chief. a lot of respected members on here ride rotas. i would instead of paying for volks, but never have.

id buy it. wheels, some basic intake mods, aftermarket double din, aftermarket hookup (buy a custom sub box), and especially the akebono brakes. itd be a high price if the car was stock, but id take it as is for that price

you need a friend to test drive it then, because if the clutch is bad, and you cant tell, and you buy it, the cost of a new clutch in install will negate the reasonable price of this car

International standard ISO 7736 defines a standard size for car audio head units. The standard was originally established by the German standards body Deutsches Institut for Normung, and is therefore commonly referred to as the "DIN car radio size". It was adopted as an international standard in 1984.

Head units generally come in either single DIN (180 x 50 mm panel) or double DIN (180 x 100 mm panel) size. The depth is not standard.

The US standard for a DIN radio is generally considered to be approximately 2" x 7" and the Double DIN sized radio is a 4" x 7".
fyi

the 04s had the exact same transmission problems, and the same tire feathering issues up until the 2004.5.
they even had the same window motor issues. pretty much the same problems as 2004

there are things you can do on a test drive to verify an LSD is present.

don't take this the wrong way, but read this thread and learn how to differentiate the different models/trims. this is information you need prior to making an offer on the car ..

Sometimes you must move fast or the car is gone. Not certain if we are looking at carbon fiber or just stick on. New Wilwood brakes(4) will set you back $8,000 easy.
