Description from the seller, in Finnish.

Siitä nelos golffia vuodelta 2001! Juuri leimattu ja reilu vuosi/5tkm sitten jakopäähuollettu. Auto olisi saatava pois pihasta opiskelujen alkamisen takia.

Mitä enempää jaarittelematta:

Auto tuli omistukseeni huhtikuussa -25, jolloin sillä hetki ajeltiin uuden auton löytymiseen asti. Auto oli tovin ajamatta öljyn kuluttamisen takia ja tämän vuoden kesäkuussa homma saatiin kasaan. 1.6 16V moottorista löytyy uudet männänrenkaat, venttiilivarrenkumit, kiertokangen laakerit, muita tiivisteitä +sylinterit hoonattu. Koneessa 5w40 öljyt. Moottori on sisäänajettu ja ensimmäinen öljynvaihto sisäänajon jälkeen juuri tehty. Golffi on myös jossain vaiheessa elinkaartansa ruostesuojattu, vain sielä täällä ruostetta vähän. Maalipinta säilynyt kiveniskeymiltä. Korista saatu kehuja myös muilta. Ulkoisista jutuista tuli leimalla ainut korjauskehotus: tuulilasin säröt apparin puolella. Golffi kulkee suoraan ja alusta ei natise. Näin myös Volvonkin omistajana voin todeta että auto on todella mukava maantienopeuksissakin. Autoon on haettu tyyliä logottomalla etusäleiköllä, muuta laittamista ei kerettykkään tekemään. Ehkä hyvä näin. Sisusta säilynyt hyväkuntoisena ja puhaltaa hyvin lämmintä. Uusi Pioneerin bluetooth mankka. Varsin karvalakki sisältä, mutta hyvät mukitelineet ja penkinlämmittimet löytyy :) Kesärenkaina hyväpintaisilla kumeilla 16" aluvanteet. Mukaan tulee talvirenkaat peltivanteilla ja hyvillä kumeilla, logollinen etusäleikkö, lumiharja ja defan sisätilanlämmitin. Yhteydenotot puhelimitse tai viestitse: nollaneljänolla6707979. Jos en puheluun vastaa niin viestillä perään.
