White 1990 Volkswagen Passat - 4 door, 5-speed manual transmission, 190,000 miles (60,000 on the new engine), tinted windows, clean title, current registration - PIECE OF S***

I'm not gonna lie; this car has been a pain in my a** for the last three years. It has left me stranded in traffic, pieces have literally crumbled in my hands, I've spent thousands of dollars replacing parts just to have another part fail on me and my mechanic friends no longer answer the phone when I call. *I f*****g hate this car*

For less than a grand, here's what you get:

- Parts that cost twice as much as they should because they are "European"
- A death trap that could leave you stranded in traffic - AT ANY MOMENT
- A fast engine inside a rotting heap of metal
- It's fun to drive and that feeling of DYING AT ANY MOMENT
- It looks bad-a**

Parts that have been replaced:

- New engine (about 60,000 on the current engine)
- Brand new clutch (8 months ago)
- New water pump (2.5 years ago)
- New master brake cylinder (1.5 years ago)
- New master clutch cylinder (8 months ago)
- New slave clutch cylinder (8 months ago)
- Brakes completely re-done in 2009
- New starter (2 years ago)
- New alternator (2 years ago)
- New fuel line (2 weeks ago)
- New muffler (2 months ago)
- Replaced rear struts (8 months ago)
- Replaced power steering belt (2 weeks ago)
- General maintenance: Replaced all gear oil (8 months ago), new fuel filter (2 weeks ago), new spark plugs (3 weeks ago), obsessive oil changes,

What it needs:

- New tires (and an alignment)
- Rack and pinion leaks power steering fluid. I top it off about once a month and it should probably be replaced.
- It's running on 3 cylinders because a spark plug cap and wire disintegrated in my hands this afternoon. I'll probably fix that this evening or tomorrow afternoon
- Driver side window is off the track. It rolls up and down but is wonky
- Driver side rear-passenger door does not open. Never has...probably never will
- Water somehow finds its way inside and makes puddles on the floor in the back seat.
- It's been stolen twice (not sure who would want to steal this car), so the passenger side door is a little hard to open where the thieves tried to pry the handle off.

This car would be great for somebody who cares little for their life. Maybe you have a bastard child who has give you nothing but grief and you think he needs to learn responsibility? Buy this car and teach that little f***** a lesson! Maybe you just really like Volkswagens and want to tear the engine out and put it inside your Rabbit to make it go fast. Here's your chance!

One little tip about this car: It's not an everyman's car. It's definitely a car for somebody who knows how to jimmy-rig parts and fix things on the side of the road. I suggest carrying lots of duct tape. If you like that kind of crap, then you might like this car.

Will consider trades: An older running Honda CB motorcycle would be rad. Must have a title though. Cash only, no checks. Nigerian scammers - f*** you.

Thanks for looking!
