This Polo is the only one of its kind in the US, to the best of my knowledge. It is the pinnacle of diesel technology for VW.
I went to Spain to find it. Once bought, I had it shipped over here. The shipping cost more that the car did, by quite a bit. I have driven it around a bit, and it is quite the sweetheart! It weighs 1000kg. All the parking scratches on the rear facia disappeared after I had the facia repainted.
I had the UK's leading chip tuner give my ECU the "Performance" reflash. "Performance" is sort of a funny description for a 1200cc car. This car isn't fast - it pumps out around 80 hp here at 6000', supposed to make 95 peak at something closer to sea level.
I also sourced a mph instrument panel and made that work. The outside temperature gauge reads in Farenheit, and the odometer now reads miles.
For me, it is "On to the next car!", (maybe 1.4 Polo) so someone else has a chance to own the only Polo TDI in the country.
I have $30K into this project, and would like to make my money back or please make me an offer that is close. I can't keep doing this if I lose money on each of them!
The car is titled in Montana and is insured, so all the tough work is already done for you, and that tough work isn't counted in the $30K. Please contact me for questions, thanks!
Can someone tell me please how to post pictures here?? These thumbnails are really dumb!
