SOLD
I am selling my 2004 VW R32 to TDI conversion. You can find the details of this conversion here. The time and money put into this vehicle greatly exceed the asking price, but that is how projects like this go. You will likely not see another car like this for sale.
Asking for $10,500. Clean title. Located in Milwaukee, WI. Serious inquiries only. I will consider reasonable offers, but no low-ballers please.

Issues
- Tubing to lift pump require re-plumbing - currently runs out of fuel after about 400 miles, fuel gauge still reads near full
- Electrical drain somewhere in the system, which drains the battery when parked for more than a few consecutive days - car currently has a battery kill-switch wired to handle this issue
- Glow plugs manually wired to a switch (done when testing for the electrical drain), they should be wired back so that the ECU can activate/deactivate them
- A/C working until recently when a line was broken during maintenance
- There seems to be low vacuum after replacing the brake booster and brakes (new Hawk HPS pads) require excessive force to operate
- Cruise control does not currently work, have not investigated why
- Peeling clear coat like most tornado red R32s
- Windshield has a crack
- Bumper and side skirts had been replaced with used ones off a Reflex Silver R32
- Car needs interior black trim that goes above driver foot well to conceal wiring above pedal cluster
