2001 VW Cabrio
I bought this with a blown engine and in need of some TLC to fix up for my daughter. But I've taken too long, run out of money, and she has lost interest. It runs and drives great but will need a bit more work before you will be entirely happy with it. That said, what it still needs is fairly minor.
As can be seen in the pics, the interior is nice and there are no split seams or tears in the leather upholstery. It has heated seats, power windows and mirrors, and a Bluetooth stereo with decent speakers.
There are 6-8 small hail dents around the car. These are all hard to see unless you are looking at just the right angle. Several are on the hood on the passenger side in the front, a couple more are on the passenger side rear just below the convertible top. There are also a couple more on the driver's side.
The driver seat is a bit worn and the texture of both front seats is a bit messed up from gettng wet. This is due to the convertible top seals needing to be replaced as they leak some when there is heavy wind and rain.
It has a Class 1 hitch for bicycle or other accesories.
The top is hydraulic, but currently must be raised and lowered manually. All of the hydraulics are good but the relay that runs the pump needs to be replaced.
This engine has only 72k on it, it starts easy and runs well.
Here's what has been done:
new oil pan gasket
new front and rear crank seals
new timing belt
new aluminum water pump and housing
new thermostat and aluminum housing
new distributor and plug wires
new temp and position sensors
new serpentine belt
new coolant and vacuum hoses
new battery
Here's what I know it needs:
Windshield washer fluid reservoir
Charge the AC
Guage cluster
Headlight switch
Convertible top seals
Glovebox latch
Convertible top control relay
