This is a super, ultra clean 1998 Volkswagen GTI VR6 Turbo with 90, 235 original miles. This car has been carefully, tastefully and ultra-professionally modified with performance parts for 400 wheel horsepower, yet retaining perfect everyday drivability and reliability. This car is superbly clean and has always been kept garaged and covered and has never been driven through any winters.
This car has been an active part of the local VW/import car show scene for many years and it has won numerous awards including several 1st place awards.
The previous owner of the car has been a friend of mine for about 15 years. He is extraordinarily knowledgeable in every respect of automotive tuning, mechanical work and electronics, and he is an absolute PERFECTIONIST. He only settles for work that is perfect, functions flawlessly and looks seamless. This car was literally his pride and joy and he owned it for 16 years. He spent nearly two decades caring for, upgrading and showing this beautiful vehicle. He is an active member of our local VW groups and clubs, and well-regarded as one of the master craftsmen of this hobby. He is known for super-clean installations, perfect operation of all components and zero shortcuts taken. No one does a better job in upgrading and performance part installations.
This car has had two private owners since new. It is the original paint (Silver Arrow- 1998 only) and hasn't been in any accidents. It has a clean and clear title.
This is a super-clean body with no rust or rot, with the exception of one 1-2 bubble on the hatch around the glass. The paint is original and it is flawless and in excellent condition. The interior is spotless. The seats are like new, the leather on the steering wheel isn't worn, all of the buttons and switchgear are clean and aren't fingered up or worn, even the suede shift boot and e-brake boot are in excellent shape. I have not seen a MK3 this clean in over a decade. This looks, feels, smells and drives like a nearly new car. It is hard to believe how nice this car really is in person.
The car starts and runs perfectly. All of the mods perform seamlessly and all of the factory gauges as well as the add-on instrumentation work perfectly. You could drive this car every day if you wanted, there are no drivability compromises. The engine is smooth and amazingly powerful. The suspension is tight and stable yet isn't harsh. The steering and brakes work perfectly. The car rides very well and it is comfortable and smooth. There is no check engine light illuminated and all the lights and gauges are working. The car retains all factory conveniences including air conditioning and power steering. This car was equipped new with ABS and moonroof- again intact and working.

At 15 psi, the engine output is approx 400 wheel horsepower. The car is currently set to 12 psi of boost for extended durability and longevity. This car has only had the turbocharged setup for approx 5000 miles.
The amount of time, money and energy invested in this car is staggering. Even if you bought the parts to replicate this car, you would never find a MK3 body and interior this clean.
This car is kept inside my heated warehouse in Willoughby, OH.
You can fly into Cleveland (CLE) and drive this car home. You can also have the car shipped- call Angels Transport at 530-245-0481 for a shipping quote. Note that this car has been lowered and the front ground clearance especially is reduced- please mention this when contacting shippers.
