READ VERY CAREFULLY - OFFERS - ONLY ACCEPTING OFFERS AFTER IN-PERSON INSPECTION - if you are remote, you may have a local person inspect on your behalf, local person must complete payment with cashier's check. Rejecting all other offers.

READ VERY CAREFULLY: BUY IT NOW - I prefer that you DO NOT use BUY-IT-NOW. I would not allow BUY-IT-NOW but Ebay won't permit offers without BUY-IT-NOW. If you choose BUY-IT-NOW without in-person inspection beforehand, then you accept the vehicle as-is without ANY exception, even if a meteor has smashed it to bits. I have described in good faith all the vehicle condition issues that I've thought of, in writing and in photos, which is certain to be an incomplete listing of flaws, imperfections and damage.

Not parting out. Not running, currently parked in  neighbor's driveway where I've rented space. Roof racks already sold.

The good:
- Tintop '88 Wolfsburg, complete (other than interior conversion)
- Recent 1.8T turbo engine swap including fuel lines, doubling original 90HP to 180 - engine code AWP 2003 Jetta, driven about 500 miles
- Wolfsburg Edition includes original wool-snap curtains, cladding trim, front disc brakes, custom bumpers
- Swapped Westy rear bench/folding bed and nicely-crafted custom semi-camper interior with water and a solar controller (both not connected)
- Lifted suspension, springs and spacers
- New chunky tires--Toyo Open Country A/T2 235/75 R15--barely used on the existing GoWesty rims
- GoWesty Mercedes-style alloy rims
- Full-size spare wheel/tire
- GoWesty headlight upgrade kit installed
- GoWesty ABS plastic front door panels, 1 installed 1 not
- Glass, sheet metal, 2016 re-paint in original two-tone Orly Blue Metallic body with grey roof, on a 220K-mile chassis are lovely, although imperfect (previous owner painted over a couple small rust bubbles)

The not so good:
- Needing (likely) an A/T rebuild (no shift, no go, rolls in neutral)
- Engine hasn't been started since September
- Was still troubleshooting to solve excessive turbo boost issue
- Fuel funnel was cut by gas thieves -- I have a spare needing installed
- Power window actuators need fixed/replaced
- Electric door locks don't work, works fine manually with key
- Trickle leak (window seal?)
- Interior panels incomplete, mixed & matched
- Non-working A/C and power steering
- The above-mentioned rust bubbles
- Fender corners were roughly crimped with pliers to make clearance for the fatter tires
- Driver's side mirror housing swivels freely
- Racks have been sold
- Probably more, lesser matters I'm not recalling just now
