2004 Volkswagen R32 6 Speed Manual - Black Magic Pearl - Leather - NO RESERVE!

2004 Volkswagen R32 Description

Hello,
Up for sale is my 2004 Volkswagen R32. I have owned the car since 2009, and has truly been a pleasure to own and drive. It starts right up, runs great and has no check engine light or warning lights on. It has the original black magic pearl paint, which is in very good condition, and it is equipped with the original Konig R32 seats in optional leather. The leather is in very good condition. It has Velozza 225/40 tires on its OEM 18" Aristo wheels. The wheels were freshly powdercoated by their previous owner. I purchased them about 1 year ago after deciding I preferred the way they looked instead of the BBS RCs I was running on it before.
During my ownership, I only used Castrol Edge 0W-40 European Formula Fully synthetic motor oil. The oil was changed every 5k miles (due at 88k miles).
The car does have some modifications, most of which many would consider to be "OEM+" style. They are as follows:

Cons-A well-known issue in R32s, the car will start to run warm if in traffic on a hot day for long periods of time. At the same time that this began, the air conditioner stopped blowing cool air. The low-speed fan does not turn on when the A/C is turned on, which my mechanic said may be due to a faulty fan control module.-When the wheels are being turned and the car is stationary, there is a creaking noise from the front end. There is occasionally a popping sound from the rear end when the car is exiting inclines such as driveways.-Missing 1 rear floor mat-Has 3 small dents that I feel are worth mentioning. 1 is on hood, the 2nd is on the driver side fender (both of those were caused by tree branches, unfortunately), and the 3rd is on the rear driver side rear wheel well.
The car has never been in an accident during my time of ownership, and to my knowledge, the same can be said about its time spent with its previous owner. It does have typical rock chips and imperfections as would be expected for a 2004 vehicle with 86k miles.
The car is being sold as is with no warranty. I have listed as many details as I could think of so that you will know what you are buying.
A non-refundable deposit of $500 is due within 48 hours of auction end. Full payment is due within 30 days, and it must be picked up within 30 days. The car is located in Thornwood, NY.
Please ask any questions you may have prior to bidding. I'll answer them to the best of my ability.
Thank you very much, and good luck!
