2004 VW GTI 24V VR6 - 6sp manual - mint condition - NO RESERVE AUCTION

2004 Volkswagen Golf Description

2004 VW GTI 24V VR6 6sp manual

Reflex Silver Metallic exterior with black GTI leather sport seats 151,xxx miles (about 12.5K miles/year)

Located in Royersford, PA (about 30 miles west of Philly)

Car is advertised locally for $6500 which is the price to end the auction early. I assure you that this is the most fun & well maintained GTI you can purchase for under $7K. (approx $15K in repair/mods since 110k miles and complete motor overhaul done in past 3K miles at APR Tuning - see receipt in pics)

Adult owned and garaged its entire life. This has the highly desired and hard to find 24V VR6 motor. Car purchased in 2012 with 138k miles - the original owner who bought it new had a fully documented maintenance history done at VW of Fredericksburg, VA up to 129K miles every 5K miles like clockwork (maintenance history can also be viewed on Carfax).The car is running perfect now and I have had almost every wear and tear item on the car replaced, with a major overhaul done in the past 3K miles.It has been a garage queen for me for the past couple years and only driven on weekends. I am selling because of small twins now here and too many toys I don't use much.That being said, it could be driven across the country tomorrow without any issues.

Overall Condition

PA inspection and emissions recently completed w/ stickers valid until Sept 2016with new front and rear brakes/rotors, and all 4 tires done at inspection. The wheels on the car are in mint condition with zero scratches or curb rash. All lubricants changed when inspection was done. A more complete list of recent repairs is shown below and in the pics. A/C blows cold. There are no check engine lights and no leaks of any fluids.All power windows/locks, instruments on dash, lights etc work fine.The car needs nothing mechanically and is one of the nicer cosmetically you will find.I would rate the interior/exterior condition 9/10.This car drives like it has 30K miles and I invite anyone looking for this model to drive this after others with less mileage. The engine is highly tuned and pulls harder, with more torque than it did when new and virtually every mechanical part on this car has been replaced and the bulk of them have been done in the last couple thousand miles (as outlined below).

Modifications ($7K in very slight, tasteful mods- rest of car is 100% stock)

-ECS Stage 3 Suspension Refresh Kit (incl. lower control arm kit w/poly bushings,Inner/Outer Tie Rod Ends, Lower Balljoints, Upper Strut Mounts, Upper Strut Bearing, and Steering Rack Dust Boots

-Eibach Pro-system suspension kit with all new struts/shocks/springs

-United Motorsports tuning software

-Smoked taillights & sidemarkers

-APR Sport Exhaust - very classy looking and sounding (deep and throaty, not raspy)

-APR Stage 1 Cold Air Intake

-17-in RS style wheels with polished lip with new Yokahama tires on all corners.

Exterior

The paint on the body is original and still has a rich shine to it.The car was parked in a garage for many years and it looks that way. The paint is original so there are are light visible imperfections such as light scratches and touched up spots (not professionally) that can be seen under very close inspection, in direct sunlight. Although it is not show quality, the car looks great, the body is straight with no rust issues, and gets compliments anywhere it goes.

Interior

The interior of the car looks barely used with no tears or stains and has been well kept. I recently replaced the floor mats with rubber GTI OEM mats. There is a small 1-inch split in the stitching on the driver's seat (shown in pics) and minimal wear on the bolster from getting in and out. Other than that, the interior looks as close to new as you will find. Everything in the interior is OEM stock, including the factory VW Monsoon sound system. There are no missing trim pieces or cracks in any plastic pieces. The shift linkage is very smooth and all electrical items work. The car comes with the OEM flip open key fob, original owners manual, and spare tire came with the car new. The car was not ever smoked in and we have no pets.
