It only takes a day or less, `in the shop` when you take it in for a
repair ; so...it may have had many breakdowns in addition to the high
mileage. Id ask for reciepts and maintenance records from the seller.

Actually it`s a car on E-Bay that I`m bidding on located in Florida at a
wholesaler. Supposedly no Carfax incidents. I had a 99 C-5 lease car which
I liked a lot. But this year isn`t a year I`d put out too much money on a
sportscar, but figured that if I could get a C-5 cheap, I`d do it. But I
only put 36,000 miles on my leased C-5, so I have no idea of how a 100,000
mile 97 would hold up. So I figured I`d ask.

Title: Volkswagen Golf R
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2009 11:36:24 +0000
Author: symo
Primo: bisogna trovare una vera erede mk6 della sempreverde R32. Secondo: non è possibile che la Ford Focus RS sia sempre cosi avanti anni luce da tutte le altre (o quasi), bisogna trovare un modo di avvicinarsi alla concorrenza. Probabilmente questa può essere la volta buona, in Volkswagen sembra abbiano pensato davvero a tutto nella creazione di questa Gof R.
Dal punto di vista meccanico la R è mossa dall’ormai famoso TSI 2.0 litri 4 cilindri che abbiamo già visto su Audi S3, TTS o Scirocco R. Questo motore permette di erogare la bellezza di 270 CV a 6 mila giri/min e una coppia massima di 350 Nm in un range di 2500 giri/min (da 2500 a 5000 per la precisione).
Le prestazioni sono di assoluto rilievo: la massima è limitata a 250 km/h e l’accelerazione 0-100 varia di 2 decimi di secondo in base all’adozione del cambio manuale (5,7 secondi) o automatico DSG (5,5 secondi). More on: http://wrongpassword.wordpress.com/2009/09/25/volkswagen-golf-r/
