Description

This 1987 Volkswagen Golf GTI 16V was sold new at Stevens Creek Volkswagen in San Jose, California, and remained registered in the state before being acquired by the selling dealer in 2022 and relocated to Oregon. Finished in Diamond Silver Metallic over black vinyl and striped cloth upholstery, the car is powered by a 1.8L 16-valve inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes a manual sunroof, air conditioning, a VW Design AM/FM cassette stereo, disc brakes, and 14″ teardrop wheels. The front brake rotors and pads were replaced in preparation for the sale, and the car now shows 82k miles. This Mk2 GTI is offered at no reserve in Oregon with manufacturer’s literature, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean California title.

The car left the factory finished in Diamond Silver Metallic (LE7Y) and features a black front lip spoiler, lower body cladding, side moldings, wheel arches, and bumpers. The selling dealer states that the passenger-side molding has been re-affixed with glue and notes a crack in the driver-side reverse light as well as touched-up paint chips around the body.

Silver-finished 14″ teardrop wheels wear Volkswagen center caps and are mounted with 195/60 Hankook Kinergy ST tires showing 2020 date codes. The seller notes a scuff on one of the wheels, and the front brake rotors and pads were replaced in preparation for the sale.

The interior features bolstered front seats and a split folding rear bench upholstered in black vinyl with red and gray striped cloth inserts. Equipment includes a VW Design AM/FM cassette stereo, air conditioning, and a manual sunroof. The seller notes that the headliner is sagging.

A four-spoke steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation that includes a 140-mph speedometer and a tachometer with inset auxiliary gauges separated by a shift light, an array of warning lights, and a multifunction digital display. The six-digit mechanical odometer shows 82k miles.

The 1.8L 16-valve inline-four features Bosch Jetronic fuel injection and produced 123 horsepower and 120 lb-ft of torque when new.

Power is delivered to the front wheels through a close-ratio five-speed manual transaxle.

Manufacturer’s literature, service records, and handwritten service logs will accompany the car.
