So I think its finally time to sell my T5 wagon... '98 with M56 manual transmission.
Currently listing at $2500 to see if there is any interest. I'm not in a huge rush to get rid of it, but feel free to make offers.
Car is currently in Northern NJ.
180k miles. Its bright (passion) red w/ black interior. Interior and exterior are both 7/10. I'll upload photos in the coming days or you can text and I'll send them to you that way.
The problems:
1) Clutch is slipping (its completely drive-able: does not need to be towed and can be test driven) and rear main seal is leaking.
2) Oil cooler lines could be replaced, but leak is more of a nuisance drip.
3) Check engine light is on (I think its for the rear o2 sensor). Currently registered in AZ so not an emissions problem.
Maintenance done (just a quick list of things off the top of my head)
- Head rebuilt after it burned a valve about 20k ago. Timing belt and full tune up done then. This is when the RMS started to leak.
- brakes and brake lines done within last 10k miles (4x rotors and pads, front brake lines)
- oil changes w/ premium synthetic oil and filters every 5k miles.
- heater core has been replaced
- new windshield (no cracks)
- 4x shocks, 2x control arms, 2x tierods, sway bar linkages all done within past 40k miles. Drives well.
- Continental extreme contact tires on 16" Perfo wheels have plenty of tread left. Can be sold with a second set of 15" GLT wheels- used for snow tires.
- I've tried to use exclusively Bosch or OEM parts and have tons of receipts.
- Title is clean and car has never been in an accident.
