No Rust! Car was from CT and previous owners took it to Florida for winters. I have a lift at home so you can check out the underside for yourself easily.

Sounds like a way cool wagon. Someone just recently totaled my way cool silver 2003 TDI wagon from Albuquerque by running a stop sign during rush hour traffic. Really pissed me off. That wagon was super clean and low mileage. I had just put a Malone Stage I ECU in it. I just bought a non TDI replacement; a pearl black 2003 GTI 20th anniversary edition. I'll miss my TDI no doubt.

Yes, I looked for 2 years to find this one. I have pics if someone could share the links for how to post here.

Looks like your suspension is about an inch lower which looks about perfect on these cars. Does it have an EGR delete pipe? It must bust out good with that Stage 4 tune and components. Mine did really well I thought with just the Malone Stage 1 and EGR delete. Is the interior as nice as the outside? Mine was the black interior material that actually had door panels that stayed adhered. The only bad on mine was two worn heel spots in the drivers side carpet covered up with the new monster OEM mats I had just bought. I may be stuck with my GTI gas model for awhile. Sure wished your wagon was about 2000 miles closer. I just started doing improvements on the GTI; new struts, shocks, rotors, small interior items missing or ratty.

Interior is clean. Only defects are worn soft touch trim and small hole in drivers seat from failed seat heater. Much cleaner than a lot of cars I see.

Any interest? This car was impossible to find 4 years ago. I'll list out all the maintenance done when I get home.

That car looks remarkably clean. Unfortunately the availability of newer TDIs at reasonable prices and low fuel prices seem to have affected the market for older TDIs. But there are still those of us who prefer them. GLWS.

Not just the MK IVs , but the B4 and B4V as well. The values have crashed on all of them recently.

Add the fact that people are upgrading to MK VI cars which there is a glut due to buybacks and cheap auction cars.

B4s values are further depressed by lack of parts availability. MKIV stuff is still readily available. And I find MKIVs still drive like modern cars. B4s feel old to me.

Thanks indigobluewagon. It's appears my car may be worth more in parts.

I sent to a friend yesterday, but haven't heard back. This looks like a great car. I wouldn't part it out. There is a buyer for it somewhere, but you might have to be patient. It doesn't help that you are way up in Maine either.

man, nice car and close to me too. I want to replace my mk4 wagon with something just like this when the rust finally gets to her. I would be in the market probably in a year from now, but mine is still passing inspection currently.

Friend here .... nice car, I had the same on with basically the same mods. Went to 300K with it. Was mostly rotted out when I sold it a few months back.

Going to pass on the car. I am kind of liing my Audi B7 quattro wagon these days.. :O

Can't believe this vehicle is still available....but I have a biased opinion.
Thanks for the kind words! So far just 1 request for more pics and no other interest. Guess I'll keep driving it or part it out when I am ready.

If you want a quick sale, you need to adjust the price downward. You've only had it listed here for what, 2 weeks? And diesels are just not the hottest commodity in the winter. So, take the previously offered advice: have patience. And if you want the premium price you seek, keep the rust off, which means don't drive it during salt season.

Cheers,

PH

It's true that the middle of winter is the worst time to sell a diesel. Not sure why, but it is. One option would be to park the car for a couple months and try in the Spring. If you do, I'd hold firm on your price. If it's as good as it appears in the photos, it's worth it.

No need to park it as I drive it daily. With another TDi in the fleet, I find myself lusting for a 135i, but don't want 4 vehicles in my fleet. I'll have to wait on the toy.
