Vehicle Detail
RARE 2001 GTI GLX VR6 - True Time Capsule/Survivor. Recent full mechanical restoration, fresh tires, Utah car so no rust - mechanic owned. Chance to own a throwback car, this will take you back 15 years! This ‘survivor’ time capsule GTI is a very rare VR6 version, as most of this vintage were made with the 1.8-turbo engine. This car is extremely clean for it’s age, and represents a step back in time for those who are enthusiasts of the hot hatch. While not specifically a wagon, we love this generation of GTI and will offer other cars we find cool as well as our wagons!What makes this car even cooler is that it’s mostly stock, but has some of the best period modifications. A Neuspeed intake and strut-tower bar dress up the engine bay and make the car sound fantastic. Further contributing to the beautiful narrow-angle-VR6 soundtrack is a Techtonics exhaust. This car really does take you back to another time!The car was owned by a VW mechanic in Salt-Lake-City Utah, so it’s completely rust-free – another impossibility for cars like this in our area. And although it’s showing 183k on the clock, it’s actually undergone a complete overhaul 13k miles ago – the engine was out for full timing chain service, clutch, all water pipes/seals/gaskets, etc. This car starts right up, idles perfectly, has no leaks and shifts like butter. It really is a remarkable car!Mk IV GTI’s in this kind of condition are very rare indeed, so if you’re a fan of these cars, here’s the one for you! Contact us and come take a look.
