I am selling my pride and joy. A 2001 VW Golf TDI with manual transmission. I purchased this car 3 years ago with about 70k miles on it and since have put on almost 60K. Currently has around 128K. I lived in Gainesville GA for most of that time and worked in Atlanta so I put a lot of miles on it during the week. I guess people use the term "highway miles" for this type of usage. It is garage kept and meticulously maintained. I have done quite a bit to this car over the last 3 years. I will attempt to cover some of it here, but honestly probably will forget some things.
Interior.
Trim - Anyone that is familiar with this model (MK4) knows the interior was not it's best feature. The trim had a sort of soft rubbery feel that I'm sure was nice driving off the lot. Unfortunately it peeled very easily. So I went through the car and pulled all of the trim out and cleaned off the old junk and sprayed a clear coat over it. It has a cleaner feel IMO.
Door Panels - Another infamous feature of this car is that the glue that holds the fabric to the door panels fails over time, and the fabric starts to hang off like an old bag. I removed the door panels and recovered them (or I should say a professional did). He used a faux suede which I feel dresses up the doors quite nicely. This was completed in the last 2 months.
Headliner - This is a common problem in a car that is a few years old but the headliner was sagging when I got it. The headliner was replaced about 2 months ago and looks new.
Tint - The tint was redone about 2 years ago. Darkest you can go legally. Professionally done and looks clean.
Radio - The model came with the Monsoon System, with changer in the back but I never even considered putting in a CD in it seeing that I don't own any. I upgraded the head unit to a Pioneer with handsfree bluetooth. Mic is wired in a good spot and have been very happy with quality in making calls while driving. Unit also has USB port which I use frequently for podcasts and Pandora. This unit is about 2 years old.
Misc Things - New shifter boot, new armrest in the front in the last 6 months. Also still has rear cargo cover ($300 part and missing on many of these model vehicles). Moon roof works perfectly. Spare and jack still in vehicle. Also I do not smoke and have never let anyone smoke in my car. It has no odors at all.
Exterior
Body - Car had very few dings when I purchased it, but I just had them removed last month and had the vehicle painted last month. Overall the car looks very very good (as you will see in the pictures or if you come see the car). But it does have some imperfections. They are impossible to capture in pictures but I wanted to make everyone aware of them. It is also debadged and new front insert gives the car a smoother look. Car has never been in an accident.
Lights - Front headlight and rear tail lights were upgraded about a year ago. Front lights have halos, and as you may know the driving lights always come on when the car is moving. Rear lights are LED with a light smoke.
Wheels/Tires - I have gotten mixed reviews on the wheels, but I can reassure you that this is not just a spray paint job. Rims were removed, sanded down, primed and then sprayed. Tires are Michelin Pilots and probably have about half their life left (20-30k would be my guess).
Misc - Horn is upgraded to a louder one. Comes with VW OE roof rack, Shule fairing, and bike mount. This was all purchased new about a year ago. Combined cost almost $400 and only used about a month. Pictures show the rack off of the car because shop told me to wait about 4 weeks after the paint job to put it back on. Windshield is also about 2 years old. This makes a huge difference in how it feels to drive the car.
Engine and Transmission
Transmission - 5spd. Very responsive and shifts perfectly.
Engine - 1.9 Diesel. This engine has been awesome since the day I got the car. It lacked a little bit of power when I purchased it. I cleaned out the intake and performance increased by 10X. I also replaced the Timing Belt and pulleys at this time (around 80K). It is recommended that you do this at 80k anyway. I recommend that anyone interested in this model TDI do your research on forums and online to make sure you treat this car properly. This car constantly gets me over 40MPG and still can get up and go when it needs to. Lots of fun to drive. Treat it well and it will most surely do the same to you.
AC - Was not working when I bought the car. All new AC parts about 3 years ago. Should last you for many many years to come. Ice cold AC.
Misc - Had a slight leak and discovered it was the valve cover. I replaced the valve cover and gasket. Battery is also about a year old.
That should cover almost everything on the car. It really is a great car in almost every way. I need a minivan though for the family so that is why I am selling it.
Shipping: Buyer will handle pickup or shipping of vehicle. Car will only be released once all funds have cleared. I am available to pickup an out of town buyer at the Atlanta airport if needed.

Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.
