-NEW air filter
-Fresh oil change
-NEW fuel filter and fuel system treatment

We love this little car which is such a cool time capsule so we wanted to make sure the new owner has a car ready to go!

It is very rare to find a MK 3 Golf in such original condition and it would be a great car for a classic VW enthusiast.

Clean title and Carfax.

We welcome your trades.

Call today before this car is sold - 425-453-8005

Notes: The car is missing a tiny piece of trim behind drivers side rear door. The trim piece on the passenger front door is a bit wavy. These are the only cosmetic defects that I can think of.

Why Buy from VWtdis.com?
We are a small independent dealership located near Seattle, WA. We specialize in diesel vehicles particularly the VW tdi jetta, passat, golf, and beetle. We always have a selection of 1999-2012 VW tdi's for sale. We handpick our diesels, they come mostly from dealer trades and our own client trade-ins.  Each tdi goes through a thorough inspection and reconditioning process.  We strive to sell the best pre-owned diesel vehicle that we can.  We are experts in VW diesels and we know their particular issues from year to year. When we inspect our vehicles, we pay particular mind to issues like injection pump leakage, camshaft wear, balance shaft issues, and timing belt intervals.  You can rest assured that the vehicle you are purchasing has had a thorough inspection and been serviced well.

We also love diesel VW's and we all drive them.  My particular tdi is a 2002 VW jetta tdi wagon with 300,000 miles and it still runs awesome.  Diesel vehicles are more fuel efficent, more fun to drive, and last years longer than their gas coutnerparts. Best of all, you have the ability to run alternative fuels like biodiesel and waste vegetable oils in a diesel so you can thumb your nose at the oil companies and be environmentally responsible.

          Buying a Car Sight Unseen Out of State??
          Many people have reservations about purchase a used car when they cannot physically inspect or test drive the car. This is totally understandable. However, a car is sold on ebay motors every 12 minutes so it is definitely becoming a more common way to purchase vehicles. Since we sell VW tdi diesels that are rare and hard to find, we routinely sell cars to out of state clients so we have become very good at facilitating these sales.

          Here is a brief overview of the out of state buying process:


          1) Select the vehicle you are interested in off of our website or Ebay.


          2) Review all photos closely. There should be at least 30 and as many as 60 photos of each of our vehicles. If you want to see photos of an angle or feature or even underneath the car, call or email us and we would be happy to accommodate your request.

          3) Watch the video of the vehicle. We are working on taking videos of all of our cars so if you do not see a video on our website or in the Ebay listing, then please call or email us and we will make a video just for you.

          4) Review the Carfax. We have a copy of the Carfax for every car on our website. Just go to www.vwtdis.com , click on current inventory and then click on the car fax button next to each car. Write down any questions you may have on the Carfax and feel free to email or call us.

          5) Request a pre-purchase inspection. This must be done prior to the end of any auction. Our service department has performed a pre-purchase inspection on every car and we can email you a copy of this report along with any service records that we may have.

          6) Arrange an independent inspection (optional) - If you want even more peace of mind, we can help you arrange an independent 3rd party inspection at our local dealership or with a mobile service like Lemon Busters. Once again, this must be done before the end of the auction. You would just call us to arrange this.

          7) Apply for Financing (optional) - If you need financing, you would want to apply via our secured credit application BEFORE the end of the auction. You will want to make sure that you qualify to purchase the vehicle you’re interested in before becoming the high bidder. You can access our secured credit application here:
          http://www.vwtdis.com/financing/

           
          7) Payment - Once you have purchased the vehicle, you would send a $500 deposit via Paypal. We will then fed ex you all of your paperwork including title applications and finance contracts with a return fed ex envelope. You would sign your documents and return them with a cashier’s check or loan check. Alternatively, you can do a bank wire which speeds up the process.

          8) Shipping - once we receive your signed documents and the balance due on your vehicle, we will arrange the shipping of your vehicle through a licensed and insured transport truck service. You are more than welcome to arrange your own shipping, but we do it for clients at wholesale and can usually save you hundreds of dollars in shipping costs. To get an idea for what auto transport costs, look at the information below:
           
          Shipping from WA state to:
                  -California - $400-$500
                  -Texas - $700-$800
                  -NY/east - $900-$1000
                  -FL is - $1100-$1200.

          9) Title work and transfer - We will supply 6 days worth of temporary tags which you will activate the day you receive your car. Our title clerk will fed-ex your state's licensing application, the vehicle title, etc to the nearest DMV to your residence. You will then go to the licensing office to finish registering your vehicle.

          10) Follow up - We will call you to make sure you received your vehicle with no issues and that you are 100% satisfied. We will then be available via phone or email in case you have any technical questions. We also offer a lifetime discount on parts and accessories to our Ebay buyers through our e-commerce and Ebay stores.
          Disclaimer: ATTN: WA state residents - if you are the winning bidder of this vehicle, we will also collect sales tax and licensing fees from you on top of the final sales price. We will process your title work and give you a 45 day temp permit until your new plates arrive in the mail. NON WA state residents - we do not collect sales tax from non WA state residents. We do send your title directly to the closest licensing office where you can complete the transfer of your vehicle. A $150 dealer documentary fee will be added to the final price of all ebay sales regardless of the state or country you live in.
