***RELISTING - PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION AND REVIEW THE PICTURES! This is NOT a show car, this is a daily driven, 25 year old convertible. It is not showroom clean under the hood. The paint is not perfect. I have done everything I can to relay these items to you. If you want a show car, THIS IS NOT IT. If you want a clean, straight, nice, reliable driver you can have a blast in, bid with confidence. Selling my wife's toy - no time to enjoy it anymore with our infant son. Would rather see it go to a good home. Purchased last summer, driven regularly (except over winter, it was parked on dry solid pavement with a cover, started occasionally and driven around the block to keep the cobwebs out.) Reliable, safe, solid, great condition. Mechanical: Performed a full tune up after getting it (plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel filter, oil change). Approximately 124k miles on it (the odometer gear wore out when we first got it, just after 122k miles. Would not hesitate to drive it across country and back. Twice. Small exhaust leak @ muffler. Blower fan relay burned out (cheap part, we never use it.) Has AC (again, never used it, but it's there.) Trans shifts smoothly, shifter bushings loose but functional. Few small oil leaks - nothing serious, only takes a quart every 1500-2000 miles. They're intermittent, just haven't had the time to look into it. Good battery, starts every time, never lets you down. Exterior: Body is also in excellent shape - VERY little rust - almost not worth mentioning, but two small eraser tip sized spots on the right rear quarter. Couple spots under the front bumper, easily cleaned up. One small spot at the corner of the driver's side windshield. Top is recent and in excellent shape. Few scuffs on the front and rear bumpers. Tires in OK shape. All lights function and are intact (no damage). All glass intact, no damage. Rubber gasket that goes over b-pillar on driver's side has split, needs replacement (excess wind noise, no water leaking if you adjust when it comes out of place.) If it rains REALLY hard for days on end (or if you go through a car wash), you get a little water on the drivers seat. Normal driving and rain you're fine. Interior: Comes with the tonneau cover for the top when it's down. Seats have been recovered, excellent shape. Aftermarket CD player. Brand new trunk strut piston, brand new top strut pistons. Brand new headlight switch. New aluminum shift knob. This car is clean and straight, and needs very few odds and ends to be in AMAZING condition, almost all cosmetic. Mechanically, drive her every day with a smile on your face. Drives very smoothly - I considered a suspension upgrade but the car handles so well, rides so nicely, I didn't want to mess with it. It's a lot of fun, but we're not able to enjoy it right now. Comes from a loving VW home (we've owned 10 different VW's over the years, and currently own a 1975 Beetle), we take VERY good care of our cars and want them to have good homes when they leave us.

It will be installed.
