SOLD
Selling my MK4 TDI 5sp.
I bought this car in 2015 when I was commuting long distances to work, the 43mpg was a huge savings! The previous owner was a mechanic for Fletcher Jones and has been kept maintained, unmodified, and super clean for its age. This car is a champ, and has never given me any issues. I wanted to run this car forever but I'm moving and purchased a 2006 Touareg for space and towing.
The Good:
The Bad:
Model year 1999.5 with 289,000mi. I purchased at 230K. If it hasn't broken by now, this thing will last forever.

The Good:
- Stack of papers showing all records
- New Tires
- New Battery
- New Alternator
- New Brakes
- New Fuel filter and hoses
- Passed Smog
- 5sp Manual
- Smoked GLI Tail lights (I have the factory red ones as well).
- No gummy interior
- Snow chains included (used once)
The Bad:
- Rubber window trim is sooty
- Plastic trim is brittle (typical with age)
- Paint looks great but has seen better days
- Slow as hell but 43mpg!!
- Mystery taillight code causes glowplug light to blink but multiple mechanics haven't been able to figure that one out! It's a non-issue.
