**This vehicle is in need of significant mechanical repair**  While this VW does run and drive, it will need significant repair before it can be driven and I would highly reccomend that you have it trailered away from our dealership.  Read sections below for more details regarding condition.

Vehicle Description:

This Turbo Diesel VW will make a great project car for someone looking to save huge money on fuel!  This VW has had 3 previous owners and 0 accident history per autocheck.  At 241,581 miles, the exterior of this vehicle is in fair condition for this age and miles.  The exterior does show signs of rust - especially on the hood, fenders and hatch (see pictures & video).  The passenger side mirror housing is cracked and it is missing the rear wiper.  The windshield is cracked along the top.  The interior is in above average condition for the year and miles -- there is some wear on the plastic covered items on the interior like the door handles and radio buttons but overall the interior is clean.  The tires are in very good condition, one of the wheel covers is cracked (see pics).  The rear hatch is currently not opening from either the inside or outside.  The driver side door lock is unable to be engaged (when you hit the lock button, it moves down a bit but will not go all the way down to be locked).  The radio is not currently turning on, but it did work when I first got the car.  The Air Conditioning is ICE COLD.  Mechanically, this car needs transmission work -- from what I have read and been advised it will need a clutch/flywheel replacement.   It is difficult to get into gear at times.  At idle, the engine shakes which I have also read is a sign of the flywheel needing to be replaced.  The check engine light is also on for turbo overboost so it doesn't have full power at higher RPMs.  The engine has a slight tick that I have tried to capture in the video.  The airbag light is on.  I am not a mechanic, but I have tried to describe the mechanic issues as fully as I possibly can but I am not 100% positive that the diagnoises I have provided are accurate - they are just my educated guesses.  You are welcome to come check out the car for yourself, but due to the fragile mechanical state that it is in there will be no test-drives.  Check out the pictures & video for more information or feel free to email/call me (Michael) at 734-717-3653 with specific questions.
