This is a true NO RESERVE! High Bidder Wins! 2001 Volkswagen Golf GLS Super Clean Car! 1.8 Turbo 5 Speed Manuel Transmission Very Good Condition! New Tires! Great MPG (28+) This is a very nice car. No rust. Body is nearly perfect. I moved to Texas in 2008 and decided to get my car dealer license because I love to buy and sell cars and motorcycles. It has always been more of a hobby than a business (thank god, or I would starve) I only buy and sell a couple cars every month and I am very picky about what I get. Read my eBay feedback and you will see that I don’t sell many cars but everyone gets a great deal. I listed this car as a private seller because I do not provide financing options as a large dealer would. I’m a one man operation. I fell in love with this car and decided to purchase it for my wife. She loved almost everything about it except the stick shift. I actually prefer the stick over the automatic. If you are the winning bidder you can pick this car up from my house, it’s not on a car lot. I’ll continue to drive it until it sells. You will be very happy with this car. It is solid, drives perfect and would rate the exterior, engine, transmission, tires and all mechanical in excellent condition. I would rate the interior in good condition. The car runs very good. Plenty of power, smooth, quiet and easy to start. It runs and drives like a low mile car should. The Air Conditioner works great! The paint is very near perfect. There are a couple of very small door dings on the passenger door and I would have to point those out to you. The gas cap and door handles have a “brushed” look. I believe that may have been done on purpose by the previous owner. The interior is in good condition. The only flaw I can see is that the center arm rest hinge could be replaced. It works fine but when you lift the top of the armrest up to get to the storage area it is lose at the hinge. Tires are in new condition. Here is what Edmunds review said about this car: Review We've always liked the Golf, a fun-to-drive, chunky-but-spunky hatchback that has been a bestseller in Europe for more than two decades. Here in the States, the fourth-generation Golf does battle against a range of compacts, many of them with less sporting credentials. The Golf is available as a base two-door GL, an uplevel four-door GLS, or a sporty two-door GTI in either GLS or GLX trim. There are three powertrains for the GL and GLS. The standard 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine is good for 115 horsepower, while an optional, fuel-sipping, 1.9-liter Turbo Direct Injection (TDI) diesel engine is available. You can also opt for the turbocharged 1.8T motor, which increases horsepower to 150, produces lots of low-end torque across a wide rev range, and can now be had with an optional sports suspension. The GTI comes standard with the 1.8T turbo engine and new sports suspension in GLS trim, or you can get the GLX version which serves up a smooth 2.8-liter narrow-angle V6 with a wide torque band. Horsepower is rated 174 at 5,800 rpm, while torque is 181 foot-pounds at 3,200 revs. This year the GLX gets a new 16-inch wheel design and standard multi-function steering wheel controls for the radio and cruise control system (steering wheel controls are optional on GTI models in GLS trim). New 17-inch alloy wheels are optional on all GTI models. All Golfs are available with a standard five-speed manual or optional four-speed automatic transmission (except the GTI VR6, which is five-speed only). Silky and playful, both the turbo engine and the VR6 make for high-spirited driving. Ownership piece of mind comes from VW's two-year/24,000-mile limited warranty with free scheduled maintenance for the same period. The Golf offers a long list of standard features, including side-impact airbags, four-wheel-disc ABS, 15-inch wheels and tires, clear halogen headlamps, tilt/telescoping steering wheel, sliding sun-visor extenders, a brake-wear indicator, an anti-theft alarm, remote keyless entry, a split-folding rear seat with three headrests and an optional, dealer-installed, in-dash CD player. An eight-speaker Monsoon sound system is also available. New standard features for 2001 include an improved cupholder design, a trunk entrapment button and head protection airbags. Consumers will be impressed by Golf's structural rigidity, which not only provides a solid, quiet body with precise gaps between the doors and body panels, but an overall feel of quality. It all rides on front MacPherson struts and a rear independent torsion-beam axle. Separate shock and coil-spring mounts reduce intrusion into the luggage compartment and cut road noise. Inside, the instrument panel is stylish yet functional, and the dark wood trim in the GLX model blends well with the high-quality fit and finish of the soft-textured surfaces. Like the New Beetle, gauges are backlit in blue with vibrant red pointers. Volkswagen wanted this combination to be marque-specific, noting that they are the same colors used by international air traffic on airfields at night. Seats are firm and supportive, and the back seat folds down for expanded cargo-carrying capacity. Behind the wheel of the Golf, whether swayed by value or performance, drivers will be racing to start their engines. This car will sell to the high bidder regardless if that is $500 or $10,000. I really hope to get what this car is worth but I will trust the auction to bring whatever the market will pay. Whoever wins this bid will be very happy! I always sell my vehicles with no reserve, no gimmicks (I have lost money in the past but still believe in the process). I bought this car right so I am confident I will not get hurt when it sells to the highest bidder. It will sell regardless of the amount of the high bid. I will be happy to help you arrange to get the car to your home as long as it has been paid for before it leaves my driveway. I would suggest that you fly into San Antonio or Austin and let me pick you up at the airport. You can drive it home. The winning bidder will need to pay a $500 deposit within 24 hours and the balance within 5 days. You can leave the car here as long as you wish once it is paid for. Trade ? I will accept a trade as long as it is not junk. It’s tricky to accept a trade on a “no reserve auction” so here is what I offer: If you have a trade you must notify me before you bid on his car and we will come to an agreement as to what your trade is worth. You can then bid on this car and, if you win the bid, I will apply the value of your trade toward the purchase price. You will either need to pay the difference in value or I will pay you if your trade is worth more. This is a true NO RESERVE! High Bidder Wins!
