Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1988 Volkswagen Jetta GLI 16V, finished in Tornado Red with black and gray upholstery, boasts 70k miles and is powered by a 1.8-liter DOHC inline-four paired with a 5-speed manual transaxle. It features Recaro seats, an Alpine cassette stereo, and a clean Carfax report, but also notes some replaced components and aged tires, suggesting a need for some reconditioning.

Condition
6
While the car is described as being in good condition with an accident-free Carfax report, there are mentions of replaced shifter components, headliner, fuel injector seals, and a fuel distributor, along with 2015 date codes on the tires suggesting they are aged. These factors indicate that while the car is well-maintained, it requires some reconditioning to bring it to a higher standard. The presence of partial service records further suggests that the maintenance history is not fully comprehensive.
