Less than 67,000 miles, original owner, clean title. Engine is stock and has not been modified in any way. Car has never had any major repairs done to it. Car looks good, starts, runs and drives very well. Transmission shifts smoothly, clutch grabs perfect and engine is strong! VIN: 3VWHD81H7VM086600 The car has a professionally installed high-end custom stereo with the following components: * Alpine CDA-7995 In-Dash CD Player with Remote * Alpine ERA-G320 Sound Field Processor (attaches by Velcro outside the glove box for adjustment and stores in glove while in use.) * MB Quart Component Speakers (Front and Rear) * 2 Kicker Comp 12" Subwoofers in a sealed enclosure * Alpine V12 MRV-T501 Amplifier * Alpine MRV-F505 Amplifier * Alpine CHA-S614 Compact Disk Changer (I never used this too often due to subs skipping CD at louder volumes) * Phoenix Gold Power Flow xsc12 Capacitor *** This car does however need some repairs. I have barely driven this car in the last year and no longer in the need of a car so I would rather just sell it. Would be a great project car, parts car or a car for someone looking for a fixer-upper. This is my analysis of what is in need of repair: * Check Engine Light On (when I checked it some months ago with a OBD reader it was for a Secondary Air Pump error). * Recently noticed the engine running hotter than 190 degrees. One hose seems to be cold and the other hot (seems to be a thermostat problem - but I am not 100% sure of this). Note: I have never let the car boil over. * Suspension sags - especially in the rear. * Check brake pads - rears appear to be worn. Brakes do not grind at this point. * Tires decently worn, one tire has a slow leak. * Headliner recently stained - car seemed to be damp inside after sitting outside in recent very heavy rain. Hatchback rubber molding may need to be replaced. * Paint faded in some spots. * Emergency brake not good for steep hills (out of adjustment). * Cruise control does not work. * Glove Box Knob Broken (glove box still opens and closes). * Usual wear and tear of a respectfully used car of this age I have changed the following items at the specified mileage: * Spark Plugs @ 48,400 miles * Air Cleaner at 48,400 miles * Ignition Coil Pack @ 58,100 miles * Serpentine Belt @ 62, 780 miles * Always used Castrol Syntec 10W40 Full Synthetic Oil for the entire life of this car. Since this car has a temperature issue - I would not recommend driving this too much until this is repaired (use a car carrier for pickup).
