    Default 1996 VW Golf 4dr lifted

    Back up for sale!

    This little gem has been my daily driver since Feb of 2011. Its a great commuter, and gets around 30mpg.

    I recently replaced all of the major maintenance items and purchased a set of new tires and an alignment. It has some of the usual mk3 surface rust around the rear hatch and a few spots of surface rust on the front wheel wells. Has small scratches and little dents but nothing major. Everything mechanical on this car is in operating condition including the door locks and emergency brake.

    It runs and drives incredibly smooth and straight with the suspension lift and the aggressive winter tires, but when its time to drive through snow this thing dominates.

    Maintenance performed in 2011 –
    Engine-
    Timing belt, tensioner, water pump, thermostat and housing, both accessory drive belts, the Ignition coil, spark plugs, and the oil pressure sensor.

    Thanks! The lift isn't anything major, the stiffer vr6 settup actually makes it handle better then the super soft 2.0l suspension it originally had.

    Josh's is a 2 door gti with a lift. I worked with josh at Schmeltz for a few years and picked up the idea from him. Same setup but 4door.
