Selling my blue, 1.9L ALH manual wagon (211K) after 9 great years. Still runs great, and I thought I'd take it through to at least 300K but instead (since last week) we've moved on to getting 40-50 mpg via the plug-in hybrid route (I'll miss the 5-speed though!).
Asking $3500 OBO.
The car was in Texas from 2003-2011 (previous 2 owners) and then California 2012-2015, Montana 2016-2019, and Vermont 2019-2021 (undercoated prior to both East Coast winters), so there is essentially no rust on it. Oil changes every 5K while I've owned it. New clutch & nearly entire new suspension in the last 30K. While the interior & exterior both show signs of good use (this was has been an adventure wagon rather than purely a commuter), I've had it worked on at shops recommended by this forum, and stayed current with nearly all the needed maintenance (see below for details).
Major/Recent maintenance (have complete records for interested parties):
95570: New timing belt/water pump before I purchased it
124905: Fuel Injection Pump Replacement
Serpentine Belt Tensioner Replacement
182851: New timing belt/water pump/air filter, replace thermostat, replace glow plugs, replace diesel return hoses, replace parking brake cable, Suspension: replace front struts, rear shocks, control arm bushings
193560: New flywheel/clutch, replace right inner CV boot, replace left front wheel bearing
Add-ons:
Wet-Okole green/black neoprene seat covers (front & rear)
DeiselGeek Panzer skid plate
FrostHeater plug-in coolant heater
Thule bars & rocket box
Winter & summer rims/tires (Nokian Hakkapeliitta studded snows on OEM rims & Confidence All-Season on MSW rims)
Older car woes:
No A/C (compressor likely needs replacing)
Various bike/ski/dog exterior paint scratches
Headlights could use restoring
Rear hatch (hydraulics require ski pole or similar)
Chipping paint on after-market front bumper (from previous owner's fender bender)
Photos from today are available here (attempted to show as complete a view of positives/negatives as possible). Please let me know if interested parties would like more photos/maintenance deatils on anything in particular.
