see my Houston Craigslist page for all the info and whats included with the car: http://houston.craigslist.org/cto/3282455976.html
$4500 OBO (less than breaking even)
OR trade for reliable, fuel efficient car with cold AC (of around same value)
reason for selling: school is taking ALL of my time, altho i still drive this car everyday, i need something less of a project car
make: VW cabriolet 1989 MK1 (VIN: WVWCA0152KK008693)
engine and trans: 1.8L 8v, 5 speed close ratio
mileage shows 138k but the odometer stopped (odometergears.com for a new gear)
white paint, white conv top (no rips/cracks), red/black cloth sport seats
JOM full coilover suspension, recently installed
Konig Roller wheels 7.5x15 (no curb rash, like new)
Federal tires: 195/45-15 (75% left)
the bad:
-AC works but needs a fan in front of the condensor in order to use R134a
-need to find an original radiator ran and shroud (will work better than the dual fan setup that is currently installed, was like that when i bought the car)
-rear conv top window leaks water slightly (the fix is to just remove the glass and clean the seal)
-AC center vents blow in defrost (common vacuum servo failed, need to remove dash to fix, no time)(but outer 2 vents blow just fine
-coolant hoses are seeping coolant (all thats needed is to clean the nipples and reclamp them, coolant level has never dropped, engine never ran hot)
-cold startup is rough due to a stuck auxiliary air valve (used for raising idle on cold start, $250 for new one)
**never addressed the cold start issue because i planned on swapping to a weber carb setup**
repairs recently:
-new Bosch CIS fuel pump and new transfer pump screen
-new fuel filler rubber tube
-new techtonics tuning 2.25 exhaust
-new techtonics tuning deluxe shifter rebuild kit w/weighted shift rod

-new autocross front brake pads and ATE slotted rotors
-calipers painted red
-performed brake flush
-completely disassembled fuel distributor, warmup regulator, cold start injector and fuel injectors for cleaning
-new fuel injector seals, mounts and buckets
-new transaxle fluid (good but needs better GM synchromesh fluid)
