2002 Volkswagen Golf GLS TDIDon't be fooled by the mileage, engine rebuilt at 274,000 miles in 2012. I purchased this car in 2009 with 245k miles on it. Ran perfect until the timing belt went out on me while driving in 2012 (that's bad), bending 2 valves and requiring the cylinder head to be re-manufactured by National Cylinder Head Exchange (Have all receipts and pictures). So it basically has a new engine. The cylinders themselves appeared in great condition when the head was off which I try to show in the pictures. Reason for selling: My wife's Audi's transmission blew and we had to buy a 3rd car until we had the money to fix the audi. Audi is now fixed and we have 3 working cars and now I only live a mile from work. This was my "green" car that I loved and loved that it got 50MPG!! (but now I get to drive an Audi :)When the head was replaced I went all out and replaced everything I could including, from my memory and included receipts:Head, head gasket, cylinders, Cam followers/liftersNew valve coverBoth belts including the timing belt, tensioner pulleys and water pumpThermostat and housingStarterAll fuel hoses and clampsInjector sealsFuel FilterVacuum hosesCoolant flange for cylinder headValve stem sealsCam sealIntake Manifold GasketTurbo oil feed line banjo washers, bolts and gasketsCleaned carbon from the turbo and intakeExhaust manifold cleaning, new gasket, Engine MountsGlow PlugsK&N FilterAfter the engine work, the airbag light came on and does not shut off. It must be a connector or sensor. The car HAS NOT been in an accident and airbags have NEVER been deployed. Has new rear tires, front have ~40% tread left. Brakes are good. ICE COLD AC (This is Florida). Florida car no rust at all. Car has premium sound with infinity rear speakers, touchscreen flip-out DVD player with USB and AUX input. Front door speakers are original but sound good.Keyless entrypower lockspower window (back right window does not roll down)The interior cloth is separating due to the Florida humidity (headliner and cloth on the doors). Easy fix with some spray glue but never bothered me. The only minor issue is at HIGH RPM, the synchronizer between 1st and 2nd gear will grind a little. If you drive like a normal person it is not an issue. Every other shift is smooth as butter. Its always done this, but I never shift fast at high RPM so never feel it. Again, a MINOR issue just trying to describe everything about the car so there are no surprises. I have not replaced the brakes or clutch since I owned it but I don't hear, see or feel any issues with them. I have made a brief video for you to view, thanks for bidding and you wont be disappointed in this car, I have already put my life savings towards repairing it! Just kidding. :) I will not ship or arrange shipping, it will be 100% the buyers responsibility to get the car, it is being sold AS IS with no warranty. However, I can pick you up from the airport if flying in to drive it back. Prefer cash, especially if you are from out-of-state. Will accept certified cashiers check. No Money Orders. Be sure you have a plan to pay for and pick up or shipping the car prior to purchasing. If there is anything I have missed I can be contacted through eBay.
