Default Selling my car - asap

All mods are listed in my signature. The car is has a severely leaking k03 turbo on the exhaust side that is leaking coolant into the exhaust. I'm not willing to fix it and rather take the hit.

Its a long story but believe me I've taken care of this car and put so much money into it, but as it stands now I'm not going back in there and swapping out the turbo's. My pocket can't handle it anymore.

I'd rather sell the car to an enthusiast than trade it in where I'll get ripped off anyway.

Email me with any interest, questions, or offers:

Thanks.

Thanks for all your interest and replies everyone.

Here is some additional info on my car:

I'm located in Wheeling, IL (Chicagoland)
The car is a 6spd manual with 97.5K miles on the clock. Synthetic oil changed every 5k. I have nearly complete maintenance and labor records for just about everything.

The following maintenance items were done in the past 12 months:
New after run pump, new coolant hoses all around, new head gaskets (both - just last week), all valve cover gaskets and seals replaced, complete timing belt job, VAST stage 3 clutch installed with resurfaced flywheel. All the control arms and TRE's were replaced 24 months ago. New Xeon bulbs. Front drivers side CV boot and wheel bearing.

As modifications go:
It has a 1100 dollar Vogtland suspension on it, GIAC chipped with 3 programs and switcher, Autospeed downpipes (1600), Autospeed exhaust (1000), and 2000 dollar OZ Ultraleggera wheels/tires for summer. Also various smaller items such as the new AWE boost guage, RS4 shiftnob, AWE pedals, AWE bi-pipe, Hoen xeon match fog lamps, ASP DST, etc.

Really and honestly, all the car needs now is new turbos. The K03's actually still work and boost as normal... but the evidence shows that the exhaust side housing must have a crack in it as the car eats a lot of coolant, and the long and expensive conclusion is that its not happening inside the engine or through a leak anywhere else in the entire system. I was told there is no coolant residue in the exhaust manifolds at all. Bottom line is that I'm just done throwing money at it.

When I just had my head gaskets replaced last week, I had a chance to replace my turbo's but no one thought in a million years that this could be the problem. Now the car is back together, and it turns out that the turbo's are indeed the problem. I have never heard of a k03 going this way. They still put out full boost even. Anyway, I can't fathom paying for all the work again, so there you have it.
