Bad:
-Minor front bumper rock chips/typical blems from daily driven/highway driven car
-I was not afraid to drive and enjoy the car with my family. White haired dog and toddler was in car at times
-Saw a couple winter ski trips/salt. Promptly cleaned and put back in the garage. Hardly saw bad weather.
-Chased down a canbus electrical issue that VW finally diagnosed as driver door harness. Replaced door harness and the car has been problem free since. Still has remainder of factory warranty as added peace of mind.
-Minor driver rocker panel ding, immediately painted and covered.

Why am I selling?:
Good question, and to be honest I’m struggling with it. The short answer is I am looking for a more track focused platform next, as I live near Pitt Int’l Race Complex and would like to purse my SCCA hallucinations… err aspirations. This wagon isn’t the right platform for that in my mind, so it’s time to let it go. What it is however is an excellent condition OEM+ rare wagon with 6mt and 4motion with great handling and reliable power. I bought a Tacoma so the car is no longer my daily driver but I still drive the car occasionally, and I am in no rush to sell so I won’t be upset holding for another year. If you are serious, let’s chat!

I feel this is an honest assessment of the car, but if you have any questions, need more pictures, or were serious and wanted to chat, please reach out.

The car is located 20 min north of Pittsburgh, PA in the Wexford, PA area.

Great looking car and love the upgrades. Always said the wagon needed the bigger turbo. If we didn’t just pop for the Tiggy this would have been on the list.

Appreciate the kind words. The car is now listed on the GSW/AT FB market, and builtforbackroads just listed it today. While I love the car, it's time to move on... please spread the word and reach out if interested.

Thanks for the love. Some real interest on the car, and some viewings/one PPI this week with non-local buyers, but as of now the car is still available. If interested, please don't hesitate to reach out. Through the process of posting this car I have become much more resolved in selling it for the next platform, and as such... let's talk.

Cheers, Paul

After a few non-local buyers backed out, due to issues with logistics from AZ, i've just listed locally on CL today, maybe cars.com or similar tomorrow.

https://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/cto/d/wexford-2018-vw-golf-sportwagen-manual/7541522764.html

Spread the word. It's time.

EDIT: Anyone have any advice on where else to list?

(MK7, FB, CL, Built for Backroads) is it so far. Would love some exposure on what I feel is a real good, unique car. Just need to find the buyer that prefers to row gears.

Car Gurus is solid, good call. I always went to cars.com, but worth a shot.

BaT and CaB are a real thought, and I do think my car would do well... but idk. I guess I could do a reserve auction.

I just drove the car today on a lunch lap. I will miss this one. It's been a real pleasure getting to know the platform and the community with this car. Appreciate a lot of you!
