Price: $4,500 $4,300 $4,100 $4,000
Model: 2002 Golf TDI GLS
Mileage: 278,000
Transmission: 5-speed manual
Exterior color: Black
Interior color: Black (cloth)
For sale here is a 2002 VW Golf TDI GLS. This is the ALH engine with the 5-speed manual transmission. Car has AVERAGED 47mpg over the last 100k miles with multiple tanks of 50mpg+ and over 700 miles. Vehicle has 278k miles but is in very good mechanical condition. I have meticulous service records for the last 120k miles (since I've owned it). Car blew a timing belt right before I bought it and was rebuilt (details below in maintenance history) - has run flawlessly since. I bought this car when I had a long commute and drove a lot for work but now I work a mile from my house and have a dedicated work vehicle so I've moved on to a newer car. This is the absolute highest mileage car in the US other than MAYBE a Prius which is not as much fun to drive I assure you.
Power windows, door locks, and mirrors. Defrost side mirrors. I have one keyless entry remote/key and one separate key so two total.
Car is black with black cloth interior. Paint is in decent overall shape with some scratches and minor dings. Long straight scratch down passenger side from a garage incident. Hood and front bumper are the worst parts of the car - lots of paint chips on bumper, a few rust spots on hood and clear coat fading badly. Overall I give the exterior a 6/10 but 8/10 given the age and mileage. Interior is a 7/10 but 9/10 given the age and mileage.
After being put on the lift recently for the new tires, the full extension if the shocks caused them to seize since they were about 100k miles old. As a result, the car currently rides very rough - up until that point it's always been very smooth and comfortable. The struts and shocks will need to be replaced.
Everything works on this car and there are several extras:
-Audi Fat Five 17x7.5" wheels
-iPod/Bluetooth adapter for stock sound system
-Trailer hitch and wiring harness
-Roof rack crossbars
-Panzer plate (aluminum "skid" plate to protect oil pan)
-Retrofit Bi-Xenon HID projector headlights w/ 4500k bulbs (white, just like high-end vehicles, not blue)
-FrostHeater block heater
-BRAND NEW tires (Hankook Ventus S1 Noble 2, 224/45-R17)
-520 Bosio Injector Nozzles
-New center console w/ cup holders so the front has 4 cup holders (two in dash, not broken like most are)
-Rubber floor mats
