2003 Volkswagen Golf Gls Hatchback 4-door 2.0l - Blue on 2040-cars

Year:2003 Mileage:70348
Location:

Los Angeles, California, United States

Los Angeles, California, United States


This sweet little BLUE 4dr Golf is an automatic GLS.She has a sun/moon roof and heated seats, Tape/CD player and all that other stuff. :)

Mileage is 70,348 which is pretty low given her age. She is a 2003.
I'm the only owner, but bought it used with 5,000 miles on it. It was a dealer rental car prior to my purchase.
I bought her the day that I moved to LA from North Carolina. She's been across the country a couple of times. I rarely drove her b/c my work was always either really close or at home. She's mostly just seen the freeway, but she's gotten pretty dinged up from street parking in Santa Monica, and sitting under some pretty gnarly trees that weren't kind to her hood paint job. 

The paint has gone bad, starting with the hood and now moving along to the side panels on the top of the car on both sides of the hood. It needs to be repainted. There are also several other minor damage areas that look awful, but should be quick inexpensive updates, for example the front grill is busted up and missing, one of the side view mirrors is cracked, there are scrapes along the sides. It's a little beat up, but if you don't care or if you are an aspiring or accomplished auto body mechanic, then this is the project of your dreams. Fix er up and sell er for a profit!

I've kept her oil changed and her tires good throughout time, but she's probably due some new oil. I think her tires are still pretty legit though - with lots of road life left in them. I'll got kick em for you for sure if you have any questions.

This little car has been SOOooo good to me and I kind of want her to go to a great home more than I care about making a couple thousand bucks. She'll be missed. I used to smoke cigarettes in her, but I haven't in YEARS, and she doesn't seem to hold the smell. I no longer smoke so neither does she. She cleans up quite nice, but she shows her age.

You can view an album of her photos here, and feel free to reach out to me if you'd like additional information. MORE PICS

Witness this insane 736-hp VW Golf immolate its front tires

Mon, 11 Mar 2013

There's torque steer and then there's what we'll from now on dub "The Boba," as in Boba Kettler. The German tuner has a way with the Volkswagen Golf, and the MkI example you see above has been touched with 736 horsepower - that's right, 96 more ponies than a new SRT Viper, all trying to get to ground through those two front wheels.
The 2.0-liter, 16-valve engine has an 8,800 rpm redline and is aided by a Garrett GTX3582R turbocharger shoving 50 psi through the internals. Other upgrades include a new ECU (natch) and a six-speed 'box among other treats. The rubber is Toyo R888s - street-legal competition tires. The result is enough smoke for three Chinese New Years when the lights go green. Indeed, the standing start isn't its forte, but it can apparently get from 62 miles per hour to 124 mph in five seconds.
Watch it go in the video below. And know that this isn't even Boba's best work; he's got a 900-hp MkII Golf that'll do 0-62 mph in 2.3 seconds.

Last VW bus ever made arrives at final destination

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

A Brazilian politician tried to save it, unsuccessfully, so the final Last Edition Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi was produced on December 20, 2013 and now resides in a vintage museum at Volkswagen's Commercial Vehicles HQ in Hanover, Germany.
The Volkswagen Microbus was built for 56 years, starting in September 1957. Brazil was the last country still assembling it, but new safety regulations in the country requiring airbags and ABS on all cars spelled the end. When that politician introduced a bill that would pardon only the 'Bus from a death sentence, it couldn't garner the required number of votes for passage. The South American country takes the Kombi production title, though, with 1.5 million of the 3.5 million total made in the home of Copacabana beach and the girl from Ipanema.
The VW Bus is dead. Now perhaps we can turn our attentions to the still-not-totally-settled matter of the Bulli...

Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept is a 201-mph hot hatch

Sun, 20 Apr 2014

This, friends, is what happens when you shoehorn 395 horsepower into a Golf. You get a three-door hatch that will happily scurry to 62 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 201 mph. Oh yes, we like you, Golf R 400 Concept.
As we explained in our original post, the R 400 is the long-awaited successor to bonkers Golf creations like the GTI W12 from 2007 and, more recently, the Design Vision GTI. It's powered by the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder found in a number of Volkswagen (and Audi, SEAT and Skoda) products, although it's been heavily massaged to pump out 332 pound-feet of torque along side its amplified horsepower.
Naturally, it's been lowered and now rides on 19-inch wheels. Outside of those changes, though, mums the word on suspension and chassis enhancements. While this is a bummer, the striking looks of the Golf R 400 more than make up for it.
