I picked this car up around a year ago. I got a really good price on it, but it needed a lot of stuff (as you will see) the body is about as close to mint as a 10 year old car can be. It’s in really good shape.
I do really like it, its been suprisingly reliable (as far as vws go) but I’ve been focusing too much time and money on it. I really want to get my civic and bike done.

Bad-
Interior doesn’t match. Black leather seats with tan interior. It never really bothered me because the dash and door cards are half black
ABS light is on for one of the front wheel sensors. Traction control also doesn’t work because of this
Airbag light on because the seats are from a older style Jetta and have different plugs.
$2900
Here is a quick pic. It’s filthy. I haven’t washed it in a few weeks lol. Still shines through the dirt…
