Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio boasts a recently installed VR6 engine and five-speed manual transmission, a fresh coat of Desert Wind Metallic paint, and upgraded suspension and wheels. However, it features custom electrical modifications that disable factory window controls and has a noted oil leak, requiring attention despite its mechanical and cosmetic refresh.
Condition
6
The car has undergone recent repairs for dings and dents, and the paint was refinished. However, there is visible wear on the driver's seat, the fuel gauge is not connected, and there is a noted leak at the oil filter housing. Custom wiring for the powertrain has resulted in non-functional factory interior window switches and a manually operated cooling fan, requiring some reconditioning and addressing of electrical quirks.
