Hey guys,
Picked up my 2003 DSG Coupe completely stock with a little over 6,000 miles today. This car is a blast to drive. Mods soon to come are window tint, borla cat back exhaust.. eventually pulley swap, intake and tune. Let me know what you guys think..

Beautiful! Love the chrome wheels vs satin. Stock ones are getting hard to find. What price range did you get her for? Mid to upper $20s I'm assuming.

I gave 26,500. It came with 4 2003 satin rims, as well as an extra ford 17x9 Chrome rim previous owner wanted a spare in case one got damaged. Also came with 10th anniversary floor mats, car cover, hand held tuner new in box, cobra workshop book? And a few other things. I know some will say I payed to much, but I know the car has been taken care of and has very low miles.

I don't think you over paid. I've sold 2 stock 04s, for around that price with 4K miles. The snake in the grill was not factory btw.

Before you do anything....that means even drive it... think about putting paint protection film on front bumper, head lights, hood, rockers, mirrors and rear bumper behind the tires. The original paint is only original once and its best to preserve it the best you can. It was one of the best investments I've done on my car.

I think its the header gasket/ something exhaust goes away when warm. After watching you tube videos im definitely convinced its not the tick problem.
