I emailed Mafoose, I was thinking around $105 shipped. He's got first dibs if the price is good.
Seems like that's what they go for on Amazon, so I'm out :)

Making the goon discount 95% off would qualify as a horrible financial decision. Do that, and we can make it happen!
Do it, and I'll cash out my 401k (also a horrible financial decision) to buy it.

If you are cashing out a 401k to buy a $4000 GTR I don't think you need to be making any more bad financial decisions.
Jeez, Dad!

it was a joke, guys, relax. I'm too young to have a retirement account.

Yeah you don't need to start one until you are like 45.
That's dumb. I'm not going to retire until my 60s, that's, like ... forever from 45. Which is, like, forever from now!

I have a set of four pristine floor mats, black, originally for a 2005 VW Golf GL. They have never been used (got the rubber mats), they just rode around in the trunk for a couple years. Now they're a bit dusty on a garage shelf. They would probably fit any Mk IV Golf/GTI/Jetta, but I don't know that for a fact. They've got the little holes you pass the little twisty locks through to hold them in place.

I also have an owner's manual for a 2005 Golf GL, mint condition

Also, a "Haynes Repair Manual for VW Golf, GTI, & Jetta 1999 thru 2005, all 4-cylinder gas engines and the TDI (1999-2004)." very good condition.

These items are located in 94520. The books could be shipped very cheaply at book rate, the mats are a bit bulky but could be rolled up or folded to ship for probably a reasonable amount.

Best offer. Pics on request.
Is there any chance these fit a 2003 Passat? If so, I'd be very interested.

The Passat in that era was a different platform. A quick google for 2003 passat floor mats shows mats that are a different shape (like the ones in this ebay auction). Sorry. :(

Worth a try. Thank you, and good luck :)

Anyone want a oil adapter seal kit for a Jeep 4.0 or an axle seal for a Chrysler 8.25" rear end?

Bought two of the first one (and have therefore already replaced it) and now have a Ford 8.8", so ... they're pretty much free for the taking. The oil adapter seal will fit in an envelope, so if you PM me your address, I'll mail it to you. The Axle seal ... I'll try if you want, but I'm not putting more than a stamp on it, so who knows if they'll take it? :)

Posting this in Jeep thread, too.

Anyone want a slightly used but good condition Metra 70-1817 Radio Wiring Harness For Chrysler/Jeep 1984-2006?

It was well installed in my '00 Jeep, it's still in good shape (I would absolutely reuse it if I had thought of removing it before I bought another one). Yours in the continental states for the low low price of an address to ship it to.

Pay someone to do items 1 and 2, then sell it for more?
Alternatively, put it on Craigslist for a underprivileged person (teenager?) to get a small foot up. Then, enjoy the feeling of helping people.

Are you sure? Because you said "10mm" when you posted them here and didn't think that 10% was a lot.

I apologize, I'm way out on the east coast near VA but would fly out somewhere. I appreciate any info, these cars are getting expensive, it appears.
Just checked my local craigslist, and it looks like there’s a fair variety of what I’d call reasonable, although that perception varies.

There’s even one that matches your description for 11.5k:

It was a vendor display cabinet, steel and acrylic, for sunglasses, I think. This one has wheels as well.
I can confirm that. I haven't seen one of those in awhile, but we had that exact same style at my first job.

Sorry my dude, sold within 10 minutes locally. Honestly, LED taillights , automatic doors and radar cruise control set it off, that's why I set it so cheap. Tough can update them to make them better about it, but I didn't have the cable.
Oh, I know, I have one. I wanted to get a second one for my other car.

$20 would have been an amazing deal, they're ~$500 new.

I'd be really tempted to build a modern unit that provides the same sound if you can't find the original, but I'm also slowly working on doing that so I can make mine make weird noises at people.

Hell, I'd be tempted to load that sound - that's pretty cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-qreQRydFw&t=54s (warning, loud)

2000 Ford Mustang GT

~155k miles, mechanically sound, cosmetically has some issues

San Fernando Valley area north of Los Angeles proper

5.4L engine from a same-model-year Expedition, smogged and registered in CA. 5 speed manual. LSD. Small upgrades to brakes (Powerstop cross-drilled/slotted rotors, EBC Yellow pads) and suspension (Bilstein shocks). Puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. I'm selling it because I needed something bigger and I don't want to deal with maintaining four cars.


The rear driver corner has some damage from a car hitting it while it was parked. They were heard exclaiming that it "came out of nowhere!", then that it "will buff right out" before driving off without leaving their info.

The rear passenger quarter panel has what appears to be keying damage, from before I owned it. It's always bothered me, but I solve it by driving it from the other side.


It's been street parked for years, so the front bumper has been used as a parking distance sensor by other people more than once.

The front seats are covered, and I'm pretty happy with these covers. They're covered because while the passenger seat is almost pristine (I lived a pretty lonely life for awhile...), the driver's seat is ... in poor condition.

Yes, it comes with the Official Ford licensed Beanie Baby Bear, no, it's not all that valuable (I looked).

Trunk will have spares that I've acquired over the last 12 years (yeesh) in it.

  • 5.4L swap, good for exactly the same horsepower! ... oh, and more torque. The torque is nice. Gas mileage doesn't seem notably worse, but I've never been a hyper miler. Usually gets about 15-20, depending on how much fun you're having. The motor swap was done in 2013 at ~132k and has been stone-cold reliable since.
  • Fidanza aluminum flywheel
  • Bilstein shocks
  • PowerStop cross-drilled/slotted rotors
  • EBC YellowStuff brake pads
  • LubeLocker rear diff seal
  • Energy Suspension transmission mount
  • Quality 20% tint job, zero bubbling or color change, done in 2013
  • el-cheapo double-DIN head unit with CarPlay and backup camera
  • Current registration good until Aug '24, 100% clean title
It's currently listed for $6299 on Facebook, but I'll say: Goon price $5500, I'll listen to offers, and will explicitly offer a substantial discount if you want a lemons car. Oh, and if you have a decent sob story ... hit me up. (STR if you're still out there, offer stands.)
