Kicking around the idea of selling the Jetta for something bigger.
2002 GLS
5 speed
166k miles
Koni Red Suspension
Neuspeed Sway Bar
TT LCA bushings
1.5" lift spacers
17" GTI wheels and nearly new tires
Cat fuel filter
GTI perforated steering wheel
MK5 seat swap
Outdoor air temp
Hella E-Code headlights
Aspherical Split side mirrors (Don't know how people drive without these, best thing ever)
RC3 Euro
Sachs G60/VR6 clutch
Brand new VNT-17
Big lower IC pipe/pancake
Big SMIC
Whitbread DP and high flow Cat
Boost and EGT gauge
TB done 10k ago, 100k parts
Car is very clean inside and out.
The bad: The car has a salvage title. Several years ago I was sideswiped and pushed up over a curb. Damage to pass side (right inbetween the doors), bent rear axle and curtain air bags from the curb climb. I replaced the axle and drove it for a few weeks while waiting for the right shop. As it goes these days a salvage situation is often a referendum on the price of labor as opposed to the damage done to the car. I had it fixed properly (not a drop of bondo, they replaced the skin on the right side of the car with OE parts. The piece was called the aperture.) Its been problem free since. I think I've got a picture of two of it before it was repaired in my photo album on this site. It has a dent on the roof about the size of a quarter and a scratch down the pass rear window from a bike falling off the roof rack several years ago.
I'll take some pics here shortly. Like I said I don't think you'll find a cleaner one. Runs very, very well. Everything is tight, doors, shifting, suspension, steering.
It's lived in a garage its entire life.
