Im posting this up to see if any interest exists for the car. I've broken down everything I can in this post so you're aware of everything about the car. Im in no hurry to sell or trade; if the right opportunity presents itself, I will go for it. I love this car, but want to get back into a Jetta

CAR INFO:
Location: Akron, OH
Year: 2000
Make: VW
Model: GTI (JTI)
** Car has Jetta front end, making it a JTI **
Color: Audi Dolphin Grey w/ black roof
Mileage: 195,000 at posting (increasing daily)

BACKGROUND: I bought the car in Feb of 2011 after my Jetta was totaled by a drunk driver 3 days before Christmas 2010. Car had approximately 165,000 on it when I purchased it and has approximately 185,000 as it sits now. The mileage IS increasing daily as it's my daily driver to get me to class and work 6 days a week. The car can easily approach 30mpg on the freeway if you drive it the right way. Even with the full car of luggage I was carrying and the terrain I was traversing on my way to H2Oi 2011 in Ocean City, MD, I still was able to average close to 27mpg over the entire 1000 miles.

WHY AM I SELLING/TRADING: I want to change it up a bit. Love the car, but really want to switch back to a Jetta and try my hand at a different motor. Car has given me 20k of solid, reliable miles, making trips all over Ohio and even to Ocean City, MD without issue. In fact, I can sit here and say this has been a very reliable car for me considering the mileage and age. I am just ready to move on to something different. I would really like to sell this car to someone who will love it as much as I have and maybe even do things I could only dream of.

=====KNOWN ISSUES=====

- Airbag light is on. No solution yet. I believe it to be a broken wire in the Drivers seat buckle, but am not sure due to lack of VAG-COM.
- ABS/Traction control lights are on. This is due to the ABS controller being broken. I have a spare unit available for install, but have never had a chance to put it on.
- CEL is currently on due to the SAI reporting an incorrect airflow reading. This is due to a broken plastic pipe at the front of the engine (noticeable during cold starts via the noise). Its an easy fix, but requires the front end be pulled forward so you can replace or repair the pipe. It does not affect the car's performance in the slightest
- Fan Control module is intermittently operational - A replacement is on order and will likely be installed prior to sale
- Some paint issues or bodywork needed with the front and rear bumpers that require a respray **
- Needs a new front valence **

** Looking to get the bodywork fixed sooner than later. Willing to have it repaired for new owner before sale for a small added cost if desired.

Alright... bumpin this back up... with this new info:

FOR $4500.... I will swap out the coilovers, radio, and retrofits for their stock counterparts for the buyer IF DESIRED. If those things are kept on the car, the asking price stays at 5500. Please message me with any questions.

ALSO..

Updated the "issues" section. CEL is gone and Ive replaced the FCM. After doing research I've found that operation appears to be normal and the car runs like a CHAMP!

To whomever buys this car, youll be getting a well maintained and excellently running VR6!

bump.... very serious about taking the parts off to lower the price. Willing to do this before the buyer gets the car. $4500 is the asking price at that state.
