Used 2004 Volkswagen Golf for Sale

Built to last with lots of practical features and a few luxury touches too. This car is perfect for our small, active family. The hatch opening is a great feature to stow groceries, camping gear, or the family dog. The rear seats fold down, which creates more room than you would imagine—you can transport small pieces of furniture, cargo, even lumber. There are good safety features including shoulder belts in the backseat, front and side airbags, and anti-lock brakes. Little features like heated front seats and power mirrors are useful little luxuries.

With nearly 275,000 miles on my TDI Golf, and with it still hammering down 49+mpg, this car virtually pays for itself. Diesels make more torque and lower on the RPM range, giving the car nice off-the-line acceleration. I will say that my car is equipped with a 5-speed manual gearbox and I have heard that the automatics in these cars are not nearly as reliable, not to mention do not get quite as good fuel economy. The overall build quality of the car and the fit and finish leave a lot to be desired. My headliner is falling down and I have noticed many cars with similar issues. The rear left power window quit working and there have been a few other issues, but if you maintain these cars they will practically run forever.
