looks like a nice car Q (from what they show), but the '01s don't have the best reputation. Wasn't the T5 a 2.4l in those days? I know that the LPT engine went from 2.4 to 2.5l ~ 2005, but was the T5 a 2.3L still in 2001? In any case, that is probably a typo. It does have geartronic, so that bodes well for being a T5 (in case you don't trust the tag on the back!)

Replying to: stickguy (Jan 08, 2009 5:24 am) YV1SW53D411006750 Thanks, firefighter, for the info on the wheels. So, vmax, what do you think that's worth on a trade? Also, would you by any chance be familiar with the GT on the '01? Does it self-shift even in manual mode? Or does it bounce off the rev limiter, for instance, if I don't shift it? If I did happen to buy such a vehicle, its intended purpose is for racing, hence the question.

Replying to: qbrozen (Jan 07, 2009 6:53 pm) I noticed that none of the pictures showed the VIN plate, so who knows what the VIN truly is. The wheels are correct, they were the standard wheel for the T5 that yr. |

Replying to: volvomax (Jan 08, 2009 8:04 am)  Its just autoX. The thing that gets punished most is the tires. So what about a value? I'm prefer to hold out for a 5-speed, of course, but we know I could grow old and grey before that comes along.

fyi, fitzmall has another '01 T5 with 85K on it. Looks nice (blue over tan). Even better, they have a 2005 Saabaru 9.2x. Black, with a 5 speed. Believe it is the non-turbo model. Only about 10K IIRC, with 65K clicks on the odo. That seems like it should be a nice little auto-x rat mobile.
