Original owner. Decent looking exterior but with cosmetic blemishes, imperfections, dings and scratches. ( Nothing a good paint ob can't fix) . Gets 45-55 mph, runs good and continues to be a great commuting car. Lots of power and smooth acceleration. Doors handles are tricky. But, no body rust. Only the running boards show early onset of rust. Carpets got wet once and a repair was made that looks Ok but not like new, but the heated leather seats and the dash are good. This is a well running commuting car kept in top notch running shape. I had every intention of taking it to a quarter million miles and invested $ 6,000 into it over the last 2 years. Yes, way more than the value of the car, but because it gets such good mileage and has been so reliable , I fixed whatever it needed because I had planned to keep it rolling. I have run only synthetic oil since day 1 and religiously changed the oil in regular intervals. The turbo diesel engine runs great. I also changed the timing belts every 80 K miles (last time at 160K). I run this car in New York and was very focused on preventing rust. It has the winter package: heated leather seats, and I am giving you a set of snow tires on rims with it. It has been professionally maintained by a VW mechanic shop in my village since I bought it. Here is what it has in it:New Tires New Turbo ChargerNew batteryNew alternatorNew starterNew steering boxNew rear brake lineNew tie rods and shocks/strutsNew wipers. I would get in this car right now to drive cross country with no worries. Sold as is. Comes with 4 additional snow tires on rims. This car would be great for a student, a commuter or anyone who needs cheap but reliable transportation.
