dude if it was mint it wouldnt have shit hanging down from under the dash, dirty, scuffed up door panels, a missing headliner, and stickers all over it. Wtf is with the dynomax sticker? it has a dynomax muffler? fail. it’s clean FOR an 88 gti, sure. it’s low mileage also for sure. in very good condition, sure, but MINT, BRAND NEW condition it is FAR from. do NOT let my saying this offend you, I’m an asshole. ---

Ive never seen a point in changing oil without driving the car. I change mine every 3000 miles and dont go by months or years. And yeah the same gas stays in it during the winter. I didnt drain the tank in the year that my car didnt have a motor either and it started right up without a gas related problem once the new motor was in. ---

You are retarded :facepalm If the previous owner said he changed the oil however many times and documented, he obviously cared about the car. So to even bring up the argument of the car not being maintained is stupid. I don’t see where you get to come and rag on this GTI, thing is in awesome shape, maybe not “like new” but definitely in awesome shape for an '88. Just because you don’t/haven’t owned anything nearly as mint, don’t hate. Oh, and I let gas sit in my cars all winter. Absolutely no point in draining it for the winter. Same with oil, if it’s fairly new/fresh, what’s going to happen? Quit hating you chode. ---
