He's firm on price because he knows how rare they are. Unfortunately I paid about a grand more than I would like, but with manual X's, the old adage of "I'll find another one" doesn't work on sellers because they know there are so few out there.

I will say though, the first time I spoke with the seller on my X, I offered him about a grand lower than I paid, and he was firmly saying absolutely not, didn't even want to counter, I actually thought I offended him. However, 3 days later, he called me back, and asked if I still wanted it (it had been on the market a few months), and asked me to make him a fair offer somewhere in between what I offered and what he was asking. I came up a grand and we closed the deal the next week, and he even brought the car to me.

Honestly if he knows how to drive the stock clutch should have plenty of life in it, I've had VW's on stock clutches for over 200k and didn't slip a bit.

Having 1 key is kinda standard, I just purchased a master remote from the dealer for my '03 and it cost me $130, no big deal.

Sorry you guys couldn't work a deal out, but manual AC, and no sunroof to break, wow, talk about an X that will surely stand the test of time.

Maybe a member on here will buy it.
