200,000 miles. Interior very good.
200 HP. 20 mpg on highway. If I buy it I will use it, probably do a lot of traveling. as Dealer wants $5K. Thanks.
I wouldn’t take a 17 year old VW of any model if it was given to me for free. VW’s are notorious for requiring lots of expensive maintenance and repairs once they’re out of warranty.
