Volkswagen Scirocco 16V (1987)
for sale

Price: US $6,500.00

Description:

1987 VW Scirocco 16-Valve with original 66.5 kmi (Verified both Carfax and Auto Check score of 45). Completely original, sans stereo. All original panels, glass and paint (exception the bumpers/mirrors, which were re-sprayed prior to my ownership). There is absolutely no rust. Tornado Red, 5-Speed, Cloth interior, non-sunroof, manual crank windows and AC (blows cold) Car runs strong with no known issues. I attempted to sell last year and car was featured on BAT and German Cars for Sale.com, but both buyers flaked out and I decided to keep the car.
The Story: The car is an original Northwest car (Oregon) and I am the third owner. I purchased it almost 2-years ago from a local specialty dealer via ebay to relive my youth and check off a car from my bucket list. Car was purchased new from Riviera Motors in Portland, OR and came with original books, sticker and maintenance records dating back to 2000. Between records, Carfax and Autocheck mileage is legit.
I drive the car regularly to work mostly on Fridays (when it is not raining) but have a short commute to work (~5 miles). The car is an absolute blast to drive and IMHO is a one of the most under appreciated values, but the time has come to sell it and move on. For another opinion, watch the video below posted recently from Automotive Journalist Jason Camissa on his Scirocco: here
Below is my best description of the condition of the car and some things that I know need attention:

Known Issues:
