I am not sure how many miles I have put on it as the odometer is not working (see below). However, I would guestimate I put approximately 6,000 to 8,000 miles on it per year from 2002 to 2005. After 2005, the VW was kept in a garage and only used occasionally. Needs: -Will need a brake job in the near feature -passenger side door needs to be shut hard to close -some rust on chrome and drip guard (minor) -odometer and speedometer don't work -there is a dent in the rear driver side fender (see pictures) Buyer is responsible for arranging shipping and all associated charges.
