SOLD!!! 2001 Golf GL TDI (Dayton area, Ohio)
Hello! So, I bought this car roughly 10 years ago and joined this forum under the name "Mr.Dave", since then I have driven my car quite a bit and have lurked on the boards up until 5 or so years ago. I love my car, and one of the only reasons I'm selling it is because I want something with fewer miles, and a tab bit peppier. I bought a 2005 GTI, so my TDI is up for sale. First up, the stats:
2001 Golf GL TDI
Tornado Red
162,000 miles
Timing belt changed at 82,000 miles
Oil changed every 10,000 (synthetic)
There is a bit of rust around the drivers side fender and hood. The front bumper screws have come out, but if you know what you're doing, you can reattach it. The check engine light is on, but last time I ran the code I found out is was just the glow plugs. If you have the VAG tool, I'd be happy to let you find out if there is anything else. The transmission is good, along with the engine and clutch. Needs a review mirror (new windshield put in, never got a mirror on it). Glove box needs fixed (it opens, just not smoothly... like me at a bar).
Now, that is all the info I can give you at this moment. Unfortunately, I do not have any service records, but if you know these cars, you'll know this one is pretty much good to go. Why am I posting on here/making this my first post? I want the car to have a great second life, I want to find someone who will take care of this car and drive the heck out of it. Rather than have someone run it into the ground, I think it'd be another person very happy if they know what it'll take.
So, I've priced it between good and fair in the KBB, because of the low(er) mileage, though, I know it'll take some cosmetic work. Please PM me or post questions here for anything else.
$3,800 OBO.
Thanks,
Dave
