Used 1996 VW GTI (OBO) - cars & trucks - by owner - vehicle automotive sale for sale in Charlottesville, VA
Vehicle Description
Needs a clutch (and input shaft bearing if you're gonna do it right). I can do this work at buyer's expense - happy to discuss. I put the last clutch in 100k miles ago, but the hills of Charlottesville finally got it. The car still drives fine, just the clutch will slip a little at about 4000 rpm. Car can be driven, but should not be considered "driveable".
Also needs a thermostat.
Body is not perfect. Interior is actually nearly perfect. Undercarriage is a little rusty, but has a recent oil treatment.
I've owned this car happily for 13 years, and always done my own maintenance, very carefully and by the book (factory torque specs, VW parts, etc.).
At 200k, I installed a new head gasket, intake gasket, exhaust manifold gasket, timing belt, timing pulleys/bearings, timing cover, and I reset the timing (it had jumped a tooth at some point). Other maintenance includes:
-New wheel bearings all around
-Recent brake job
-Recent parking break job (though cables do seize a little in cold weather). New cable kit included.
-Replaced radiator after rear ending a guy
-Replaced AC condenser after rear ending a guy
-Hell, rebuilt the whole front end of the car after rear ending a guy (pictures to prove it)
-New shifter linkage bushings
-Recent gear oil change in transaxle
-New splash guard driver rear wheel
-New CV boot passenger side axle
-New ignition
-New distributor
-New plugs and wires
-New windshield
-New rear shocks
-New rear break lines (all the way back)
-New AC clutch bearing
Uniroyal Tiger Paw tires are BRAND NEW.
Yes that is an original VW roof rack you see (very rare, actually). New locks and keys.
AC was perfect until recently. Put new AC clutch bearing in and then the compressor failed. Needs a compressor. AC system is super tight. Had it tested.
I have some parts to go along with it, including OEM VW fog lights.
Heater Core is clogged. Heat is minimal in the winter. I put a heater core in the car in 2010 (photos to prove it). Now it needs another one. This is a big job...
This car has never been abused. It has never done a burnout. It has never been redlined. I hate when people abuse machines. It was adult-owned and driven. It is not powerful. It is the slowest GTI ever made (115 hp). However, the motor is bullet proof and with the recent motor work, is the strongest asset the car has right now.
Call (six 0 six) 5 four 7 - 6 five 6 five to discuss. Make me an offer. Thanks!
