Description
It has always been garage-kept and serviced strictly according to schedule. All invoices, documents, and inspection reports are neatly organized in the included binder (it’s noted that the car cost twice as much as the most basic VW Golf model at the time).
The latest service was done in August 2024, at 172,000 km. Last summer, the car was sold to its current owner—a VW enthusiast from Sweden’s west coast—who began ownership by driving it from Skellefteå as far north as possible (to Nordkapp), then south on winding Norwegian roads, all the way home to Uddevalla—a 4,500 km journey. The car is an absolute joy to drive, especially on twisty roads. It holds the road like an iron and is impressively responsive when overtaking. It is now being sold to make room for a new car.

Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
Same chassis and brakes as the R32 model that was released the following year. Excellent engine and gearbox. A lot of driving pleasure. A well-maintained and technically sound example with no faults.
-
Interior condition
Well-kept interior with comfortable original sport seats. Highline trim with Climatronic, cruise control, wood accents, and more. Minor wear on the passenger seat cushion—possibly from a child seat? See photos. Clean engine bay and trunk.
-
Exterior condition
Straight and clean body. The car has been driven in a salt-free climate. The seller guarantees that the car has not been in any accidents and that the mileage is accurate. Original paint throughout, except for the left rear door, which was repainted due to scratches. The rear bumper has some cracking in the paint on the right-hand side—see photo—as well as a small crack in the taillight lens on the same side.
The sills have a few touch-ups where the mud flaps meet the body. Otherwise, the paint is unusually well preserved. The central locking on the tailgate only works if the hatch is properly closed—likely just needs adjustment. The mirror glass shows some oxidation along the lower edge—see photos. Two center caps for the alloy wheels are missing in the photos. These are included, but one of them has a slightly different look. -
General condition
A wolf in sheep’s clothing. The Golf IV is considered by many to be the most elegantly designed Golf model. Here is a car with performance and handling, built not only for high-speed cruising on the Autobahn but also for winding winter roads.
Over time, it’s likely to gain the same collector appeal as the early Golf GTI models—and the driving pleasure comes included.
Interestingly, this car is approved to tow 1,500 kg with a trailer, despite weighing just under 1,400 kg itself.

Facts about the model
With its timeless design, elegant lines, and high build quality, well-preserved Golf IVs are destined to become future collector’s cars. The engine sound of the larger six-cylinder versions is a delight in itself—no radio needed.
