The 1.8-liter DOHC 16-valve inline-four was factory rated at 123 horsepower and 120 lb-ft of torque. The timing belt, water pump, camshaft seal, intake manifold gasket, valve cover gasket, and left motor mount were replaced and the coolant was flushed in June 2024, and an oil change was performed in preparation for the sale.
Power is sent to the front wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle. The transmission gear oil was changed in preparation for the sale.
The 2+2 cabin features seating surfaces upholstered in black leather, while carpeted floor mats with embroidered Volkswagen logos cover the color-coordinated carpeting. Appointments include air conditioning, cruise control, a Pioneer cassette stereo, a Fischer cassette holder, and a dealer-installed Specific Cruise Systems, Inc. cruise-control system as well as power windows, door locks, and mirrors. Records show that Thermo-Guard interior protection was applied in December 1986.
The four-spoke steering wheel frames a 140-mph speedometer, a tachometer, a digital clock, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level, while an oil temperature gauge is mounted in the center stack.
The six-digit mechanical odometer shows 74k miles.
