VARY RARE, TRUE EUROPEAN CAR IS FOR SALE – 2003 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF HATCHBACK WITH 1,9L TURBO-DIESEL ENGINE. THIS CAR HAS LOTS OF MILES, BUT STILL RUNS GOOD AND WILL MAKE ANOTHER 100K MILES EASILY. THESE ENGINES ARE VERY RELIABLE, SUPER EFFICIENT (35-45 MPG), YET POWERFUL AND FUN TO DRIVE DUE TO TURBO. THIS IS WAS WIFE’S CAR DAILY DRIVER, BUT NOW SHES GOT A NEW JOB AND USES TRAIN TO GO TO WORK. SOME RECENT MAINTANANCE RECORDS: - JULY 2011 – NEW BATTERY INSTALED - JULY 2011 – PLOW PLUGS REPLACED. THE ENGINE STARTS IN LESS THAN 1 SECOND. - MARCH 2011 – TRANSMISSION WENT BAD SO I REPLACED IT WITH THE USED ONE FROM 2005 GOLF WITH 90K MILES ON IT. - JANUARY 2011 – BREAK PADS REPLACED - NOVEMBER 2010 – TIMING BELT AND WATER PUMP REPLACED. GOOD: - ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION WORK GOOD. SYNTHETIC OIL WAS ALWAYS USED FOR EVERY OILCHANGE (EVERY 4000 MILES). - LOW MAINTANENCE COST. - GOOD MPG (30-45, DEPENDING HOW YOU DRIVE) - THE ENGINE DOESN’ BURN ANY OIL. THERE ARE NO ISSUES WITH TURBO. - STRAIGHT BODY, ORIGINAL BLACK COLOR, NO ACCIDENTS, NO MAJOR DENTS, NO RUST ANYWHERE - THERE IS A BRAND NEW 7 INCH TOUCHSCREEN STEREO WITH BUILT IN GPS, DVD PLAYER, IPOD/USB/AUX READY TO USE CONNECTIONS. TV ANTENNA AND BLUETOOTH ARE NOT CONNECTED. - ENVIROMENTALY CLEAN CAR. IT DOESN’T NEED INSPECTIONS/EMISSION TESTS IN MANY STATES (LIKE IN GEORGIA). - EASY TO FIND A PARKING SPOT (WHERE MOST OF THE CARS WON’T FIT. BIG ADVANTAGE HERE IN NYC) BAD: - 3 LIGHTS WENT ON THE DASHBOARD AND SPEEDOMETER STOPED WORKING AT THE SAME TIME (AS PER MY WIFE) WITHOUT ANY CAUSE ABOUT 3 WEEKS. THESE LIGHTS ARE (AS SEEN ON PHOTOS): 1-BREAK LIGHT (RED, FLUSHING); 2-ABS LIGHT (YELLOW, CONSTANT); 3-CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I’VE MADE THE DIAGNOSTICS AND IT SHOWED THAT ABS PUMP DOESN’T WORK – AND IT PROBABLY CAUSED ALL 3 LIGHTS TO APPEAR SIMULTANIOUSLY. IT DIDN’T SHOW ANY ENGINE ERRORS. THE BREAKS APPEAR TO BE AS STRONG AND RELIABLE AS IT USED TO BE, BUT I CHECKED THE ABS ON A WET ROAD – IT DOESN’T WORK. AND THERE IS MUCH NEED FOR THE SPEEDOMETER BECAUSE THE GPS IS ALWAYS ON AND IT DOES SHOW THE SPEED. - COUPLE OF DAYS AGO THE BACK (TRUNK) DOOR’S LOCK WENT BAD AND NOW IT DOESN’T HOLD THE DOOR. IT DOESN’T AFFECT THE DRIVING THOUGH – THE DOOR SITS PRETTY TIGHT AND THERE NO ADDITITIONAL NOISES COMING FROM THE BACK. SO NOW THERE IS ONE MORE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD – ‘OPEN DOOR’ - FRONT AND REAR STRUTS/SHOCKS WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED SOON. - THERE ONE MINOR DENT (LT FRONT), SOME MINOR CHIPS/ SCRATCHES (HOOD)/CLEAR COAT PEELINGS(RT FRONT). I’VE TRIED TO SHOW ALL THE BLEMISHES ON PHOTOS. - THERE SOME TEARS ON A DRIVER’S SEATS (COVERED W/ SEAT COVERS) THE CAR IS LOCATED IN BROOKLYN, NY. IT CAN BE DRIVEN ANYWHERE. I’LL BE AVAILABLE TO PICK YOU UP FROM JFK AIRPORT FREE OF CHARGE, FOR $25 FEE FROM LAGUARDIA AND $50 FROM NEWARK AIRPORT. I WILL NEED $500 NON-REFUNDABLE PAYPAL DEPOSIT WITHIN 48 HOURS AFTER AUCTION END. THE REST I PREFER IN CASH UPON PICKING UP THE CAR. I CAN ALSO DELIVER THIS CAR FOR $50 WITHIN 5 NYC BOROUGHS OR FOR $1,5 A MILE IF ITS WITHIN 250 MILE RADIUS FROM NYC.FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS. BONUS: - I’LL GIVE AWAY 4 PREMIUM ‘GABRIEL’ SHOCK ABSORBERS FOR THIS CAR – THEY WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED PRETTY SOON ($300+ VALUE) - I WILL DROP IN THE ABS PUMP (USED, FROM 2006 GOLF), WHICH I RECENTLY PURCHASED ON EBAY ($70) SO YOU WON’T NEED TO INVEST A LOT TO ENJOY THIS DAILY RUNNER AGAIN AND BE ENVIROMENTALY CLEENER! THANKS FOR LOOKING AND HAPPY BIDDING!!
