Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Please see description below."
Condition is very good considering the year. I was told it was restored a few years ago. Other than a few scuffs and one small 2" blemish near driver's side door car shows very well. The paint still shines and she runs great. Starts easily and shifts through all the gears smoothly. Top is in good condition other than a couple patches that blend in nicely. Car has a new battery, fuel pump and rubber mats. The paint color is not original to the car. Original paint color was a yellow/orange color. I can tell you this car has been grey for as long as I can remember, 15 plus years. Eurosport tires are in excellent condition.
This is a one owner car. I purchased the car from a 96 year old guy that lives in my neighborhood. He loved this car and always maintained it. He would never have sold me his car if he could still drive it. Due to recent vision impairment he can no longer drive and decided to sell the car. I bought the car with intentions of using it but have since decided this car is not exactly my style. Definately a cool car just not my taste. The open title is still in the original owner's name and is dated 1979.
The bad : Missing headrests and front seat belts. Gas gauge does not work. Front seats do not slide back and forth. Very small engine oil leak, you might find a couple droplets after a few days.
Shipping and payment : I prefer someone come look at the car in person and pay for it in person cash or certified bank check.
Call 413-455-7001 if you have any ?s or would like to set up an appointment.

2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD is our favorite oil-burning GTI
Tue, 05 Mar 2013
The 2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD has officially bowed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Engineers managed to squeeze an additional 14 horsepower and 22 pound-feet of torque out of the familiar 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine, nudging total output to 184 hp and 280 lb-ft for 2014. The figures are good enough to earn the GTD the honor of being the most powerful diesel Golf in Volkswagen history. A start/stop system helps improve efficiency over the previous generation with the new model consuming 56 miles per gallon on the EU cycle. That's up from the 2013 model's 46 mpg. A six-speed manual transmission is standard equipment, though a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox is also available.
The GTD also offers buyers a few aesthetic tweaks to help separate the hatch from its less potent siblings. Those include a more aggressive front fascia, special badges and 17-inch alloy wheels. Expect to find the GTD in one of three exterior colors, including Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. Check out the quick press release below for more details.
