That hatch should get covered with no issues.
This.Drive that thing to the ground.
I wouldn't wait till the spring to do the timing belt, as mentioned they only last so long. I think in the manual it usually says 5 or 7 years life. Its been over 10.. way too long.Even at 5-6k I would keep it instead. It still has lots of life left.
I think the next car will be a mk7. mk6 is not that much cheaper and a brand new car is always nice. I will store the mk4 until spring and do the timing belt then. My rwd BRZ just wont cut it for the winter
Where are you located?That's true but I would hate to mess something up.
His vortex profile shows HamiltonWhere are you located?
looks like a base type model (no leather, sun roof etc), but the body looks in great shape. Its a shame its sat for a year, totally screws over the brakes and potentially tires, probably needs new battery. Is it manual or auto? $1500 range probably as long as it runs and moves is my guess, give or take $500 depending the in person conditionMy dad's 2003 Jetta TDI.
~350k, been parked 1 year. Needs front rack/power steering pump/rear rack.

Maintenance records available.
Any initial thoughts? Thanks in advance!
It is manual, but has the sun roof with cloth seats. New battery would be good, had to jump it to read the odometer. Ran no problem, only parked because of the steering problem. It was a highway 400 car if that helps.looks like a base type model (no leather, sun roof etc), but the body looks in great shape.

Let me know if you decide to sell it, am looking for a better body.It is manual, but has the sun roof with cloth seats. New battery would be good, had to jump it to read the odometer. Ran no problem, only parked because of the steering problem. It was a highway 400 car if that helps.

edit: alternator was replaced in February
Hood and fender were recently replaced (car was in an accident before he got it and they had been replaced with aftermarket that rusted away, now they're VW). He has put 200k on it since he got it. I can post a couple more pics of the paint blemishes that do exist, and there is some rust on the driver's fender.Let me know if you decide to sell it, am looking for a better body.
Haven't had a chance to see the pics yet, but will soon.
An almost 12 year old car with 253k....id say windex was right with his estimate, but if you got offers of 5k plus that's great, GLWSCar is dark blue, interior is a solid 9.5/10. The slightest of wear on the drivers seat bolster and a few tiny marks in the headliner from getting things in and out of the car. There doesn't seem to be any issues with the car as far as the way it drives. It'll be up on a hoist this weekend to get a full once over. I've already had two offers on the car of 5k+ so I think you might have been a bit on the low end. These 03 wagons truly are unicorns and it seems 90% of guys on this forum are "the right buyer".
