Well guess it's time. I'm posting this for my dad; I sold my 4D Golf and he's decided to sell his 2D. He's getting up there in age and doesn't much care for the ride height anymore, basically has a hard time getting in and out of the car. Might be time for something higher...
Haven't bought a new car yet, we'll spend some time shopping, but first this car needs a new home.
First a bit about the car. It was bought brand new from Windsor VW in May 1999 and was a special order. The car was delivered from Germany (yes, German build) in August of 1999. It is a 2 door TDI GL, Satin Silver with black interior.
There is an endless list of maintenance, repairs, and upgrades that the car has gotten over the years. This is an owner-maintained car, not shop maintained - EVER! So you will not find everything broken, incorrect, and missing as you would with a shop maintained car. I have done every bit of work on this car, I've done all the upgrades with longevity and enjoyment in mind. This has been a faithful daily driver and still is.
The car is still kept to the highest standard, summer tires are only a year old, winter tires have 3 seasons on them, oil changes and filter changes are all kept up to date. Timing belt was done 20K kms ago, G60/VR6 clutch was done a few years back. This car has never had 'an event' - never a TB failure and never a runaway. It is as virgin as can be. There are 368K kms on the clock right now (228k miles). There is a Philips and Temro 1500W coolant heater.
There ARE NO CEL, no ABS, no SRS codes - the car is without issue. Even the rear hatch handle lock works with a key!!! Those in the northern states know what I'm talkin about
Rear beam bushings have been done, front LCA bushings have been done, tie rods, ball joints, front wheel bearings, brakes all around, new rear calipers, Bilstein shocks, 20th anniversary Golf springs, TT shifter (just added last week), R32/TT OEM pedals including dead pedal, boost gauge, .216 nozzles done by drivbiwire, Atlas skid plate, engine cover pop-off, beetle front head rests, Monster mats (albeit Jetta ones, but with the correct round clips at least)... I dunno, best let the pics do the talking.
There is a touch of rust starting on the lip of the rear hatch, I've included several pics of the rear for detail. The rear bumper has scratches, the front has... well look at the pics. Nothing awful, but not perfect.
Asking $5500USD or best offer. It is a one-owner car, and better still, owner maintained too. You can ask any question about it, and I will have the answer. That's not something you can get anywhere else.
I can help with paperwork to import the car into the states too. Mine was sold in Michigan and there was zero issue importing the car.
