2003 Volkswagen Golf GTI 20th Anniversary Edition 85000K Miles 6 Speed Only 4000 GTI 20th where made for the US. you are looking at one of them. in fact the this the the 0524th one made. The 20ths came with allot of "goodies" from the factory so all of it is OEM. the only after market item on the car is the diverter valve, cant remember the brand but its good, aluminum. Im going to miss this car. its been good. Selling because no job and in college, driving a 86 diesel jetta, dont have to worry about the miles i rack on it. The Good: Runs and drives very nice, transmission shifts nice, no problems. engine in great shape. thermostat coolant temp sensor have been replaced New Good Year GT tires around 1k miles on them. had the car aligned when installed the tires. 50k rated tires 225/45/18 rides a bit smoother. Interior in good shape no rips or tears anywhere! Seat bolsters and seats are very good condition No CEL no lights on at all. didnt clean engine bay. No leaks of any fluids. Get 30mpg+ highway The not so good: Rebuilt/salvage title. in hand in my name ive been driving it for a year, no problems. car was side swiped OEM fender and door where replaced. Quarter panel repainted and dents fixed by a body shop. Paint matches perfectly No problems at all. pic of previous damage: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/vqp-bT1hpLmZuR00f9TzF9MTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink Hood and Roof have a few smile dents maybe 8 total. nothing dent repair guy cant fix. but not bad for a 9 year old car. The rest of the car is good condition maybe some minor imperfections. again for 9 year old car, very normal. Door tweeters and rear view mirror have some sun fad.(see picture) not to bad. just trying to be honest here. some scratches on the rims. (see pictures) because tires are 225/45/18 they rub when you lock you wheel to the left or right. (spin it all the way) other then that its all good.

This event, in 2003, marked the 20th anniversary of the GTI's first introduction to the U.S. and Canadian market, some 7 years after the GTI was introduced to the European market. Several special features distinguish this new GTI from the rest of the pack. On the outside, the 20th Anniversary edition came with throwback red-lettered GTI logos on the left front and right rear. The rear was also accompanied by a vintage-look chrome rabbit. Blackened headlights added a distinctive look, while Votex front, rear, and side skirts along with a hatch spoiler and special edition 18" OZ Aristo alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sports complete the exterior transformation. These models were produced only in three colours: Imola Yellow, Jazz Blue and Black Magic Pearl. Distribution of production was 50% Black magic pearl, 25% Jazz Blue and 25% Imola Yellow. Inside, a few accents were noticeable. Unlike other models, there were no options offered. The only true option was ESP, Volkswagen's stability control feature. All "20ths" had a sunroof, black headliner, golf ball shift knob, black leather steering wheel with silver stitching, black leather shifter boot with silver stitching, perforated leather covered hand brake handle, and sporty black cloth Recaro bucket seats with silver stitching accents and red GTI emblems embroidered in the middle of the back rests. Aluminum trim came standard, complete with a numbered nameplate above the center console identifying the exact production number (US production only) of the vehicle. Volkswagen's premier 8-speaker Monsoon stereo system was also standard. Mechanically, the 20th Anniversary Edition GTI is nearly identical to the GTI 337 Edition. A 6-speed manual 02m transmission marked the most notable departure from the norm, and upgraded suspension stiffened up the ride and lowered the car approximately 30 mm (lower sport springs and revised bushings in the rear). Upgraded disc brakes front (12.3" vented rotors) and rear (10.3" vented rotors) helped bring things to a stop, while red powder-coated calipers added a bit of flair to the package. Starting in 2002 with engine code AWP, all of the models of the GTI's 1.8T increased in factory boost pressure and horsepower from 150 bhp (110 kW) to 180 bhp (130 kW). The 20th Anniversary GTI was not available with the VR6 engine." pictures: On Feb-26-12 at 18:11:45 PST, seller added the following information: the car was washed, no chips just rain drops
