That would be the last of the 12V GTIs. Good car, just not a great car.
In mid 2002, Volkswagen has begun offering a 200 HP 24V GTI, that is
available in stripped form... as in leather, sunroof, etc. are now
_options_.
The transmission is now a very excellent 6 speed, as well.
Base price is under $21000.00.
I would buy the new, vastly improved one, even if it were more money. (which
it isn't)

Subject: 2002 VW GTI VR6 (attention VW aficionados)
I saw a used 2002 GTI VR6 with 16k miles. I think it had the
luxury package (Monsoon radio and moonroof), leather package
(cold weather package inc., steering wheel and panels w/leather),
technology package (auto AC,auto mirrors rain sensing wipers [oh,
gee, what is that stuff on the windshield??] ), plus CD changer
($500?) and special wheels ($750?). The owner said it came to
$25k, and they are willing to let it go for $21k. It looked in
good shape. Any VW aficionados want to express an opinion? I'm
thinking the number is a little high. They also offered that I
could assume the lease (not!) $337 per month, I don't know
duration. How's the motor, trans etc.? Is it a POS? Should I run?
Or haggle to $19k? The owner/wife said she is pregnant (not me)
and they want to go to a Passat.
