    Hey everyone, I got this car through a friend. It was his grandmothers that he drove into town once a week to get groceries for like 10 years. It ran great and then sat for awhile, so I got it and got her running again. Things I did

    Good (maintenance):
    - 72k ORIGINAL MILES
    - Battery
    - Main tank fuel pump
    - Fuel Filter
    - All brake lines/brakes
    - Coolant temp sensor
    - Wheels/tires
    - new belts
    - Stereo (speakers are good, head unit is dated)
    - Plugs
    - Plug Wires
    - Distributor Cap

    Good (cosmetic):
    - I've been told these are the nicest seats anyone has seen in a Mk2.
    - Interior Quality is pretty mint
    - Body is pretty clean, with a nice clay/polish/etc would really make it shine.

    Bad (maintenance):
    - Some kind of mount is bad, maybe engine mounts, no idea, it rattles a bit
    - Trans will take a second to catch sometimes, not sure what it needs
    - Could use some hoses and things. I don't know this 1.8L motor at all and don't have time anymore with my new job
    - Uses a push-start button now because something was going on with the trigger wire to the starter. A shop did it. I think it's pretty badass, but I thought I'd note it here
    - Not running at the moment (ran last week) it will be running when I can get to it, but if you want it right now (could be a $20 part) I'll make a good deal
    - The coolant light flashes on the dash I'd say half the time. Not sure what it is but I don't mind it much
    - Has a light tapping, not sure if its normal for the lifters but it's had it for 6 months and been a champ

    Bad (cosmetic):

    - Needs a front grill
    - Plastic piece in the door fell out
    - Mirror cover (on the inside) needs to be put back
    - Door trim piece needs to be put back
    - Dent in the rear-right side of the car (not big at all)
    - Trunk is a little hard to close sometimes.
    - Tiny bit of rust on the front passenger side lower door

    back up, best offer takes it. I've been DDing this thing for ~9 months now, but the trans has been slipping a bit. Still works but I don't know how long. Looked into a trans swap but I don't have any desire to do that.
