Description from the seller, in Finnish.

Jos kaipaa kompaktia bensa-autoa, jolla on oikeasti hyvä ajaa, niin tässä sellainen. Sisältä auto on lähes uudenveroinen (nämä olivat autokauppiaan terveiset viimeksi kun kysyin tarjousta). On pidetty siistinä ja puhdistettu säännöllisesti. Toki tämän ikäisessä pientä kulumaa voi havaita. Tekniikka pelittää myös: viime vuosina huollettu n. 10 000 km välein ja korjattu aina tarpeen vaatiessa. Kalliita korjauksia ei pitäisi tulla lähivuosina, sillä hiljattain uusittu esim. turbo, jakoketju ja vesipumppu. Kuvissa tarkemmat tiedot huolloista ja korjauksista. Miinuksena on pikkuhiljaa leviävät ruosteet. Helmoja on viime katsastukseen jo hitsattu. Koria on koitettu itse fiksailla, mutta pitäisi ammattilaisen tai taitavamman tee-se-itse omistajan tehdä jos haluaa hyvän näköisen. Nämä on toki kosmeettisia vikoja, ei vaikuta ajoon. Tässä olisi siis vähän erikoisempi Golf jollekin, joka jaksaa nähdä ulkonäön eteen hieman vaivaa.
