Description
Overview: This 2005 Volkswagen Golf GLS features only 91,163 original miles. It runs and drives great, with a solid engine and transmission. No warning lights are present on the dashboard.
Features: All major systems work properly, including the A/C, heater, power windows, sunroof, and sound system. All electrical and mechanical components are in good working order.
Condition: The vehicle shows normal cosmetic wear for its age. The interior is in good shape, though it needs a glove box latch and the driver’s side mirror needs attention. One new tire is installed, but the other three need replacement.
History: Registration is paid through November 2026. The vehicle is being sold because the owner is joining the military. This is a cash-only sale.
Market Highlights
- The Low-Mileage Advantage: In the 2026 secondary market, finding a 20-year-old vehicle with under 100,000 miles is an extreme rarity. This 'time capsule' status provides significantly more mechanical lifespan than the typical high-mileage alternatives found in the sub-$3,000 price bracket.
- Southern California Demand: Los Angeles maintains a constant, aggressive demand for affordable, reliable transportation. The fact that the registration is already paid through November 2026 adds substantial immediate value and peace of mind for a budget-conscious local buyer.
- Maintenance Balance: While the low odometer reading is a primary selling point, buyers must account for age-related maintenance. Replacing the aged tires and addressing minor trim issues like the glove box latch are necessary steps to bring this vehicle to excellent condition.
