Call me at 440-339-4341 with questions.
This is a super, ltra clean 1998 Volkswagen GTI VR6 Turbo with 90,235 original miles. This car has been carefully, astefully and ultra-professionally modified with performance parts for 400 wheel horsepower, et retaining perfect everyday drivability and reliability. This car is superbly clean and has always been kept garaged and covered and has never been driven through any winters.
This car has been an active part of the local VW/import car show scene for many years and it has won numerous awards including several 1st place awards.

The previous owner of the car has been a friend of mine for about 15 years. He is extraordinarily knowledgeable in every respect of automotive tuning, echanical work and electronics, nd he is an absolute PERFECTIONIST. He only settles for work that is perfect, unctions flawlessly and looks seamless. This car was literally his pride and joy and he owned it for 16 years. He spent nearly two decades caring for, pgrading and showing this beautiful vehicle. He is an active member of our local VW groups and clubs, nd well-regarded as one of the master craftsmen of this hobby. He is known for super-clean installations, erfect operation of all components and zero shortcuts taken. No one does a better job in upgrading and performance part installations.
This car has had two private owners since new. It is the original paint (Silver Arrow- 1998 only). It has a clean and clear title.
This is a super-clean body with no rust or rot, ith the exception of one 1-2" bubble on the hatch around the glass. The paint is original and it is flawless and in excellent condition.The interior is spotless. The seats are like new, he leather on the steering wheel isn't worn, ll of the buttons and switchgear are clean and aren't "fingered" up or worn, ven the suede shift boot and e-brake boot are in excellent shape. I have not seen a MK3 this clean in over a decade. This looks, eels, mells and drives like a nearly new car. It is hard to believe how nice this car really is in person.
The car starts and runs perfectly. All of the mods perform seamlessly and all of the factory gauges as well as the add-on instrumentation work perfectly. You could drive this car every day if you wanted, here are no drivability compromises. The engine is smooth and amazingly powerful. The suspension is tight and stable yet isn't harsh. The steering and brakes work perfectly. The car rides very well and it is comfortable and smooth. There is no check engine light illuminated and all the lights and gauges are working. The car retains all factory conveniences including air conditioning and power steering. This car was equipped new with ABS and moonroof- again intact and working.
