This is a very well preserved 33 year old VW GTI Red on Red with 31,907 original miles. It has a sunroof and air booth which work perfectly. Sunroof is tight and no leaks or wind noise. The Mileage is documented and the car has been registered and insured in NY for the last 9 years. I am the third owner. I purchased the car in Chicago and had it trailered back to NY. Then car is tight, not a single drop or leak anywhere. Pinch rails are straight as can be after 33 years. It has basically been in storage since I bought it in 2007. I have only put about 200 miles per year on it. Just back and forth to car shows. Never seen rain or snow. Have only water washed it a few times. Just wiped down. Stainless steel 2 1/4 Techtonics exhaust. Always passes emissions. There are few small dings and scratches and touchups but nothing that is very visible except up very close and to be expected on an unrestored 33 year old car. The seats have no tears and look new and are firm. The shift boot has some small damage. The dash is perfect with no cracks. All gauges work perfectly, including the clock! Rear hatch area and rear seating area are perfect. Door interiors are perfect with no cracks. Snowflake rims have been found over time and are 9 to 9.5 out of 10. Tires are new. Starts right up and runs like new. Clean as can be. Engine and all mechanical components are running perfectly. Mobil 1 oil only. Includes two car covers, original build sheet, original window sticker, matching Matchbox car, sales sheets, GTI sales brochures, 4 original keys, all documentation, original owners manual, etc. I have many more photos so please email me and I will send them. I want this car to go to the right buyer. I am 47 and not looking to give away, not a car to cage and race. This car has been all over VW Votex, Bring a Trailer.com and is a special car for the right buyer. I just am not driving it and it needs to be out and about. I reserve the right to pull at any time as I may change my mind on selling. It is listed locally and with a few car clubs. Please ask me anything and I will get back as soon as possible. I encourage you to come see it, drive it if serious as I did when I bought it. You can arrange car transport if you are not in the area. I will load the car on truck and take photos before it leaves and sent to you. Good luck and I hope it ends up in your driveway.

Some other questions- yes, I have all receipts and documents from Day 1 through last Inspection. I have 4 original keys. The snowflakes are about as close to new as you can find. No road rash, no dings. Tires have less than 500 miles on them. Yes, local folks this the car at the Bear MT car cruse on Wednesdays in the summer. Once again, come see it, drive it. No hidden agenda here folks. Just one of the best examples of one of the best cars ever made in my opinion.
