When I moved to San Francisco I didn't need a fancy car as it is a pretty small city - but I wanted something fun to drive, a moonroof, and a hatchback. Then I fondly remembered my highschool car - a VW Scirocco that reached 280k miles before I sold it to my cousin who drove it well past 300k miles. Why not get another Scirocco, A perfect fit! I purchased this Scirocco 2 years ago from a Scirocco fanatic. He drove it down from Canada and cared for it like his baby. It took all of 10 minutes for me to buy it on the spot. I used it as my communting car from San Francisco down to Silicon Valley (San Jose). Alas, I have since gotten engaged and moved out to suburbia and the future wife thought a brand new Inifiniti would be a better fit :( This is a RARE 1986 Wolfsburg Edition Scirocco. This is the MOST fun car in the world to drive. It is very low geared and extremely peppy. Some of the things that stand it apart from a normal Scirocco:Better WheelsPower LocksPower WindowsEuro StylingOther items of note:It should be noted that this is a EURO version which means that the speedometer is in Kilometers and not Miles :) Only 165k kilometers (about 102,000 miles)Has an alarm system and remote keyless entryPassed California Smog Test EasilyPassed Inspection EasilySpare parts include original fabric to fix the front drivers seat, manuals, headlights, etcMoon Roof! (never leaked for me)Good tread on the sport tiresQuirks & things to love about a 28 year old classic :)The one fender is dented a bit and there is some rust In cold weather the driver door sometimes goes up slow and you have to adjust itThe driver seat is worn in (original fabric included to replace it) - Note that in some of the pictures I have a black towel on the seat.There is an add on oil gauge that I don't think works.It is a true simple sports car (No AC, Power Steering)I cant think of anything else to mention that would stand out - it starts great, runs great, stops great, goes around corners great, great gas mileage.Feel free to ask any questions and I will do my best to help. I am not a racing aficionado but I know people would love to trick this guy out. A real classic. Blurb:The Scirocco Wolfsburg Edition of 1983-1985. A special U.S. model, available in Mars red, Black metallic or Zermatt silver. It had the 1.8 litre 8v injection engine producing 90 bhp. This was a non body kit model, nor did it did have colour coded U.S. spec bumpers and mirrors. The leather interior was standard. A special Wolfsburg edition badge was fitted on the front wings between the wheel arch and doors. The steering wheel was the GTI type but with the Scirocco script instead of the VW logo. The same Karmann badge as on the Storm was fitted to the B-pillar.The curious thing about this model is that Sciroccos were never built at Wolfsburg, only in Osnabrück.
