Our 2001 Golf got t-boned and will, most likely, be totaled. We’re still waiting for the insurance adjuster to show up so I’m putting this out as a feeler to see if there’s any interest or offers. We’re considering buying it back and selling it as a parts car. I’m not interested in parting it out myself, so it will go whole. The car has been my wife’s daily driver for 18 trouble free years. Maintenance has been done by Oliver Wegener (TDIRacing on these forums). Particulars follow:
2001 Golf GL 2 door, crank windows, no sunroof. 117,500 miles.
The car drives fine, but you have to really slam the door shut to stop the chime and lay into it with your shoulder to get it open. The window rolls up and down.
VIN – 9BWBP21J414040959
ALH w/RocketChip 1S tune and Buzz-Ken turbo back exhaust with high flow metallic cat, DieselGeek Panzer Plate.
01M transmission, fluid and filter changed at 60K miles and most recently at 116,600. Shifts like new.
Timing belt done at 106K, New VW battery 10/17 at 113K miles.
Avus wheels with new Conti Pure Contact tires at 111,400 miles. The right front wheel was damaged in the accident when she got spun around and it hit the curb.
Single disc CD player in dash.
Bilstein TC Sport shocks.
I also have a new engine air filter, a few oil and fuel filters, a couple of cabin air filters and most of a case of Total Quartz 9000 5W-40 oil. I have a replacement driver’s side rear view mirror that I was going to change out as the adjusting mechanism on the old one stopped working, a 6 Disc CD Changer, four steel wheels, a pair of glass headlight lenses and some other Items that don’t come to mind right now, so I’ll post a full inventory later when I have checked in the garage. These spares can go with the car, or I will sell them separately.
