Description

This is a 1984 L model with no air conditioning. Purchased as a commuter in 2004 in southern California, only one Nebraska winter. Driven mostly in SoCal, then Flagstaff, AZ and surroundings, Tucson-Flagstaff and back on the weekends, then moved east and put it on a flatbed to Omaha in 2009. I parked it in my garage in December 2011, as I'd purchased another daily driver and didn't want it to endure another salty winter. It hadn't been started at all until 12/5/16. There's almost 207K on the odometer but it stopped working reliably some time in 2007.Condition is as follows:The car runs and drives, but needs mechanical work.Tires, Brake master cylinder, glow plugs, struts, half shafts, and timing belt all replaced during ownershipMajor mechanical issues:
Uses oilLeaks oilHeater core leaksShifting is a little vague
Minor mechanical issues:
Odometer doesn't work accurately, reverse lights don't work, fuel gauge not accurate, turn signals work but left turn position is troublesome and needs replacing; fan motor switch works but troublesome; dashboard backlight not workingBody good with minor surface rust in places Paint still takes polish and wax on most surfaces Dents behind both rear wheel wells (see pictures)Interior fair with torn and faded upholstery, cracks in dashboard passenger side, worn carpet, fabric gone from headliner & C posts; original spare tire cover and tail light access panel missing
I have complete parts purchase and repair history since owned, plus a little bit from previous owners.Bentley repair manual and Volkswagen tools specific to the car are included. The car is sold as is. No warranties are expressed or implied.
