kind of expensive,,, i paid 4g for mine 90 tt bone stock automatic low miles. 5spd swap cost 600$ cause of buying good clutch. Regardless look hard enough you can find a good "project" tt for around 3g- 3500 running but wiht a few problems. a car with front end problems is big deal. Your about to purchase a car that will most likly never again line up perfect again in its existence lol....also carry on a salvage title wiht it. so when your done wiht you "600hp" build and something comes up an you need money. you z wont be worth much cause the title...... but just giving you advise, go wiht your instict if you like it grab it i guess.
