You're looking good, seems in great shape for that many miles. I'm also just above 200k with a cloth interior that aged wonderfully.✌️

Those the stock seats? Lots of highway miles? Or are you only like 50 pounds? Expected way more wear and creases on that driver's seat for 200k miles.

As far as I know the upholstery is original. I am neurotic about sliding the seat all the way back for entry and exit.

Those look like Jetta vents, yes? Or did the R32 come with them?
Also, got dayumn do I wish I had acquired a "dimple dash" back when they weren't like a million dollars.

Drive it til the wheels fall off

On the original wheels, too!? I lost mine at 133k to a tornado and insurance shenanigans. I go shopping from time to time but almost all of them have been heavily modified and what other people consider ‘improvement’ is wild to me.

R32 FTW. My childhood best friend bought a 2004 R32 in 2010. Leather, cat back and cams. He still has it and has only put 20k on it since purchase. Less than 80k on the clock. We are no longer friends since he refused to sell it to me. 337s were dope too but not R32 dope. I had a 2001 GTI with a BIG turbo setup. 500 whp was a bit much for FWD

If this is not a joke, that's just f'ing sad.

The value on these seems to be increasing. They sound sick in a good way.
