I have moved away to school and I no longer have a need for this car, sadly. It has been thoroughly maintained and cared for. No maintenance has been neglected its condition reflects that.I am the second owner of the car and I purchased it about a year ago. The first owner took extremely good care of the car (it was the family car) and any issue was quickly addressed at Herman Cook VW in Encinitas. Maintenance under my ownership has been taken care of at Larry's BMW paradise. I am only mentioning major maintenance in this ad, but I have service records documenting the frequent maintenance the car has had.This car runs absolutely fantastic. I have never had a problem with the engine. It cranks up quickly, and it idles very smoothly as well. The transmission shifts smoothly through all gears. The car is an absolute blast to drive and handles great in corners. It sounds fantastic and is not overly loud/The car has a clean title (pink slip on hand). Passed with ease last time it was smogged.Pros:-Alzor 18" matte black wheels with Falken Tires (lots of tread left)-R32 Style front bumper-AST Performance cold air intake (CARB legal)-Forge 07 splitter/diverter valve (including original valve as well which must be put back on for smog)-Custom resonator back exhaust w/ OEM tip (sounds sporty, no drone, and not overly loud)-Synthetic oil changed regularly-New valve cover gasket (113k)-New control arms (113k)-Timing belt, tensioners, water pump, thermostat (100k)-New alternator (111k)-New front axle (140k)-MAF just cleaned-Short ECS Tuning antenna-Paint is very good for the cars age, but it does have some imperfections and scratches if you look closely (most noticeable on rear bumper).

There are a few signs of wear/discoloration on the wrap-Pioneer FH-X730BS Bluetooth stereo w/ microphone-2 x Kicker 10" subs in the trunk with Kicker amp.
