Description

For sale is my VW Golf GTI 16v 5-speed. I am the 2nd owner and I have had it for the last 23+ years. This car is an all original survivor, except for the wheels, with a clean CarFax. I drove this car for many years between central CA to Las Vegas NV so a lot of the 188k miles are highway miles. Oil and filter changes were done religiously along with coolant flushes.Through the years, I have done all the usual maintenance and have insisted on using OEM German parts if possible. This car runs perfect. Currently it only gets driven once or twice a year which is why I've decided to sell it. I keep it on a battery tender and even after sitting for 6-8 months, it will start immediately and idle at 1k RPM!All gears shift smoothly. Sunroof works perfect, no leaks. The A/C is still R-12 Freon and it blows seriously ice cold. It hasn't been recharged for many years so it has no leaks in system. I installed power windows and door locks which all work perfectly. The car has an alarm system which locks/unlocks the doors but not the trunk. Upholstery was replaced and is good except area on driver's side bolster (see picture). Carpets are in excellent condition, no wear marks or holes. All gauges work, lights, clock, radio etc, no problems. The speakers have been upgraded. I've recently put in a new Bosch distributor, cap/rotor & Bosch super 4 spark plugs with new ignition wires, new C/V joints and boots & air cleaner element. I've had the struts replaced with KYB inserts, front and rear. In the past, it's had an OEM VW German water pump installed. The engine was worked on about 20k miles ago or so which included a valve job, clutch/pressure plate & t/o bearing. The rod bearings and rings were also replaced. The Goodyear Eagle GT tires have good tread. Brakes are good too. Power steering works perfect. I ordered a muffler and mid muffler from the VW dealer years ago and replaced the catalytic converter so that is all stock.The car passes smog (tailpipe test) every year, is currently registered and is being kept in covered storage. I have a clean clear title. Miscellaneous paperwork done on the car has been lost throughout the years, I figured with the ease and low cost for parts and DIY maintenance, it wasn't really a big deal.This car is sold AS IS with no warranties. You are welcomed to check it out before you bid if you would like to make arrangements for that. Please contact me with any questions, I'll be glad to answer them.
