2002 VW Golf refurb

Apparently some people drive them to triple that. For us, the kids had grown so we didn't really need the van anymore and my wife now had her eye on a 450H. The only problem that van had was the tube for the rear seat A/C corroded and leaked. The guy that purchased it was a lucky guy, because that van had the oil changed every 4k, Krown every year. The engine sounded like new, the entire van drove like new, no squeaks, basically perfect.

How has yours been?
That's good to hear and video is impressive.

I've really liked mine and only have had smallish things need repair other than regular wear items.

It has for a long while had interior cab lights that do not work properly with door open switches, and I'll be damned if I can figure them out. Ive pulled the bulbs and live in the dark.
I've been driving gravel roads for the last couple of years and that is having some negative effect on the van. I am starting to get electric windows that are sluggish or stall and I suspect it is due to severe dust in the door. Ive always liked to keep a clean vehichle but now it is impossible to do so (at least the exterior).

The van needs to last me until I win the lottery as a new replacement isn't going to be happening until then.

My truck, all in was just shy of 300k back in 2019. At 4 months old half of the interior lights didn't work, the dealer refused to replace the bulbs as the warranty on those was only 90 days. 🙄
