2002 Golf TDi GLS - Lifted

FS: 2002 Golf TDi GLS 5spd - Lifted

Looking to sell the Golf. The kids are getting bigger and time for a JSW.

The car isn't a show winner but it's fun and is reliable. It's a true diesel. Looks, sounds, shakes, rattles and rolls coal like one should.

The car currently has ~202k miles and drive it 100miles a day so it will continue to go up. Rear drivers window fell off the track and does not go down. It does have a salvage title. No major damage. A guy went off the road and hit a gravel pile which peppered the passenger side and made a few dings, which you can see in the pics. Got a high estimate of about $3k, which insurance considered a total loss. Damage is mostly on passenger front door and fender.

Timing belt tensioner let go and dropped the belt. Work done at almost exactly 160k:
Rebuilt top end by Frank06 with new valves, seals, etc. Head cut and cleaned.
Pistons inspected and protrusion very much in spec.
New timing belt kit with metal water pump and all new hardware.

Asking $4,500 with salvage title but open to offers and suggestions.

Car is still dirty. Gave it a quick wash and snapped some photos between rains:

Back on up...

Nice car. Would love to have it. Mpgs at speed?

I average 40 MPG mixed driving, hand calculated. Speedo is off a little so probably a few MPG higher than that in reality. And I have a heavy foot.

Any reasonable offer considered

Salvage title is the big speed bump especially with the premium price being asked coupled with 200,000 miles on the car. Youll be keeping the car or taking a lose is my thoughts. I want this car but price is huge speed bump for me so thats prob the issue for others.

That's understandable. You do have to consider the reason for the salvage as well.

I know I won't get asking price and I am open to all offers. Worst I'll say is no thank you.

Doesn't really matter how it got salvage title, salvage title will all ways be and will always kill the value

I understand that, hence fully disclosing everything about the car and stating I'm open to offers. So if you have an offer, send it over.

Pm sent.

Fresno! Why so far? PM sent

PM's responded to.

Updated first post and dropped price.
Open to all reasonable offers.

Move this up...

With the Hankook RT03 215/75/15 tires and the 2" lift, is there any tire rubbing?

Stock diff or LSD?

Tires had a little rubbing at first at full lock, mostly on my kerma intercooler pipe. Spacers fixed that. And wearing down a bit probably helped too.

Stock diff.

Move it back up.
