If you're considering buying a 2004 Volkswagen, now that it's well over 15 years old, I suggest you pass. Above all, don't let others driver your car. Refresh the suspension with factory components or components better than factory, but perform like factory - not performance parts. Replace belts, hoses, spark plugs, plastic cooling system components. Routinely change all of your filters: oil, air, cabin air, fuel, etc. Always do oil changes on time and use the factory recommended 5W 40 synthetic oil. Always put the recommended high octane gasoline in the tank. Do not add "performance" parts - most are junk! Don't be cheap. The key to keeping this car on the road is simple - always do all recommended maintenance when it's recommended and always use OEM or better than factory parts that perform like OEM. Original owner and only driver of a 2004 GTI VR6.
