Description:

1985 Volkswagen Golf GTI

1985 VW GTI that is in fair condition. Recent work included new clutch, new battery, new shift bushing kit as well as two new front tires and front end alignment. The car has CA smog certificate and is registered in CA through March 2019. a recently replaced radiator. The interior shows a severely cracked dashboard and the driver's seat needs to be re-upholstered. Because of the cracked dashboard, the VIN plate had to be rolcated to the driver's side door jam (work was completed by the California CHP and complies with CA DMV requirements). Some other quirks include that the front grill was glued to the car frame by the previous owner; if removed, a new grill will have to be installed and new fittings to set the grill will have to be installed as well. The right side front turn signal is broken but I have the OEM part. Overall, the body is in good condition with no rust visible; some body trim parts are broken and the black plastic parts have faded. The rear wiper does not work. The AC is installed but is not working; the previous owner informed me that it does work and that it needs to be "charged”. The compressor and belts are all on the car. The brakes need to be serviced; too much brake travel and not enough "bite" on the discs. But it is driveable in its current condition. I have some documentation of maintenance and repairs from 2011 to the present. Overall, I would represent this as an honest, original, unmodified VW GTI which is very hard to find. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you might have.

I needed to add that the odometer has not worked since April 2018; the actual mileage is approximately 60,000 miles versus the 55,588 that is showing on the photo of the odometer. My apologies to those bidders and watchers who are getting this update.
Thank you very much.
