1997 VOLKSWAGEN GTI
Bought this car off a VW enthusiast and friend back in mid March 2014. Looking to sell and daily my MR2 due to limited drive way space. Since purchase, the heater core has gone. I used a copper bypass hose and has been running it ever since without issues.

I am asking $1500 obo. Car is fully insured and welcome to come view it.

Everything works! Throws absolutely no problem codes!
Car is extremely reliable as I have replaced most things on it. It is a blast to drive and pulls real nice. Nobody can believe that it has as many KMs as it does – proof that it was extremely well maintained and cared for by a VW enthusiast.

Disclosure:
- Some rust on the bottom edge of the hatch lid and the rockers (common)
- Occasionally the airbag light blinks on and off – no codes, and it goes away
- Driver’s seat has wear on the outside bolster (common)
- Passenger door is a little hard to open, no accidents in my possession, might need an adjustment?
- Key fob may need a new battery soon, needs to be really close to the door before it responds to lock/unlock.
