Great car. Reliable, quick and handles well. I’ve had the car for about 6 years and 55,000km, modestly driven miles (90km total miles). Has been regularly serviced each 10,000km or less, including transmission oil and spark plugs at 60km. Rear brakes were done in the last couple of years and front brakes and brake fluid this month. Some things that usually go wrong on Golfs of this vintage including starter, front door electronic locks and hatchback struts were replaced. Headliner, another common problem, is tacked up. No accidents - usual marks on the exterior. Interior is clean (no kids or dogs). Just had AA platinum service. Just got new registration.

Price: $6,700
