I've owned the car for 8 years and have most of the maintenance records from the previous family that owned it. It is mechanically sound and still has lots of power. Routinely gets 42-45mpg (48mpg on trips). I've owned several TDI's and this one has the best engine and smoothest transmission of any that I've driven. More Info about the car is listed below:

Clean Title
Good Tires
Factory Radio / 6 Disc CD Changer in trunk
Maintenance/Upgrades (Over $2500)
Added Remote Start / Keyless Entry

Includes some spare parts including plastic trim pieces, front wheel bearings, front brakes, Pentafrost antifreeze, etc.
I've invested a lot of time and money into this car and it has been very reliable. The engine and drivetrain are in very good shape and should last for many more years. The body does show some signs of wear for a car of it's age, but is still in relatively good shape. I'd feel comfortable driving this car anywhere in the country.
I now own an Electric Vehicle and work close to home so I don't drive this much anymore. I want this car to go to a TDI enthusiast who will give it a good home. Will only sell to a local buyer or person willing to travel here for sale with cash/cashiers check. No shipping. Please email, call, or text with any questions or to schedule a test drive.
