It has been, quite frankly, a huge part of my life, traversing the country with me, making it to Chicago and many, many national parks with both of my parents - one of which is no longer with me. We had a LOT of fun together, and this GTi never, ever let me down. Not once. It is just an amazing car, and it pains me to finally part with it, but as my mom gets older, and I don't have room for it where I live now in Canada, it is time. If I had the extra cash, I would restore it - which would not take much in my opinion (sand and prep and paint, a few trim parts, redo the headliner, repair the driver seat, reinstall a stereo). Perhaps put back on the original lower stripes, not sure. All of this will be left to the next owner, and I truly hope she goes to someone who appreciates what a wonderful car this is. Arrangements can be made to view and inspect the vehicle where it is garaged in Southwest Colorado.
