Original engine and trans, someone put a nice set of black Audi 17 inch wheels on it. When I bought it the check engine light was on, and i talked the guy down nearly $600 from his asking price. Kelly Blue Book says that my car is worth exactly nothing basically, so I overpaid for it. Turns out the check engine light was a vacuum leak. It burns just a tiny amount of oil, maybe a quart every month or so. And I drive a lot actually. Round trip to work for me is almost 150 miles. Runs great, shifts great, clutch feels awesome. Feels like it could easily do another quarter of a million. Love it.
