***2002 Volkswagen GTI 337 Edition***
One of 1500 made!
Only 34,747 original miles!
You are looking at the holy grail of MK4 GTIs, the 2002 337 edition. There were only 1,500 of these cars made for the US market in 2002 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Golf in Europe. If you are looking at this auction, you probably know what a 337 is, but just in case here are the extras that make this car special:
- 18x7.5" BBS RC Wheels with special ball peen finish
- Perforated leather shift boot and handbrake
- Red and black seat belts
- Red and Black upholstered Recaro Le Mann seats
- Factory body kit (front valance, sideskirts, hatch spoiler, and rear valance)
- 02M 6-speed manual transmission
- Larger front brakes (312mm) with Red Calipers
- Lowered sport tuned suspension
- Brushed aluminum interior trim
- Sunroof Delete
The Story:
I purchased this car from the previous owner who couldn't afford to make this car what he wanted it to be. He had started modifying it, but luckily I got a hold of it before too much irreversible damage could be done. I thought this car should be kept stock being only 1500 were made. If you want to modify a MK4, buy a regular Mk4 and have fun right? When I got it the car had Jetta struts/shocks (PO removed and kept air suspension he installed), fake fiberglass front valance, aftermarket grill, wrong rear valance, DVD head unit, some poor bodywork, a new K04-001 turbo/manifold, and a 3" catless downpipe. I spent the next six months sourcing the missing OEM parts and carefully bringing this beauty back to its former glory. Here are some of the parts I replaced:
- New correct OEM VW Sports shocks/struts all around
- H&R Cup Kit springs (springs that came on the car when I got it were Jetta springs)
- One new BBS RC ball peened wheel (One that came on the car was off a GLI)
- New Continental DWS Extreme tires all around (now have only around 2000 miles on them)
- Neuspeed 25mm front sway bar to match the 28mm rear sway bar installed by PO
- Original Monsoon Radio
- Original 337 aluminum pedal covers
- OEM 337 front and rear valances
- OEM grill
- OEM correct side turn signals and markers
- Lots more little pieces here and there but you get the idea
I did not have the original turbo, so the K04 is still installed. It probably has about 4-5k miles on it. It runs great and functions basically as the stock one would since it is running on the stock ECM. Leave it as it is or get the APR tune and make some big power!
The 3" stainless cat delete downpipe is still on the car, and runs perfect without throwing a CEL code! I also have the stock downpipe with cat that will come with the car if you want to change it back.
OEM GTI monster floor mats are installed front and back and look great.
Paint is very good. Pretty much the whole car has been repainted but color matches very well.
Interior is very clean, no rips or tears in the seats, looks almost new!
Title History:
I have a clean and clear Oregon title in hand. The title I received from the previous owner was also a clean Oregon title. When you run a Carfax or Autocheck report it shows that the car was owned by an insurance company in California at one point, which flags it as possibly totalled/salvage. I have spoken with numerous people about this and can't get a clear answer as to what this means. Some say different title brands don't carry over state-to-state, some people say it could have been a clerical error when the car came to Oregon, I don't know. I bought the car knowing it had a questionable title history and am selling it the same way. You will get a clean Oregon title with the car, but I have no idea if it will come back clean when you retitle the car in a different state. Because of this eBay is making me list the title as salvage on the auction. Please bid accordingly.
I am sure there is a lot I missed, but hopefully the pictures will speak for themselves! Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks for looking.

Volkswagen Group previews its wares on eve of Geneva show
Mon, 05 Mar 2012The Volkswagen Group is comprised of 11 brands producing 240 vehicles across 49 factories throughout the world. So the best way to show off the range of the VW family is to cram a few thousand journalists and VIPs into a massive makeshift stand to outline the Group's goals, what's in the pipeline and what you'll be able to buy later this year.
To that end, VW pulled out all the stops on the eve of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, bringing along 10 vehicles from across the range. We'll be delving into the details of each over the next two days of show coverage, but before that happens, you can read all about what we saw tonight from the cheap seats after the break.
Volkswagen formally introduces super-efficient XL1
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Lightweight and low drag are hallmarks of great sportscar design. But when paired with a super-efficient, hybrid powertrain, you have the Volkswagen's XL1 that has been formally introduced in Geneva today.
When the 1,700-lb, carbon-fiber-bodied two-seater hits the road, its claimed 261 miles per gallon will make it the world's most-fuel-efficient production car. Though "production car" might be a stretch since VW said in a February press release that the XL1 would be built using "handcrafting-like production methods." We translate that to mean you won't be seeing many of these cars on the road. Though no one at VW has mentioned pricing yet, early rumors suggested a six-figure price tag.
That's supercar budget for a vehicle that has a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder diesel engine and a 27hp electric motor. With numbers like that, owners can expect 0-62 mph times of 12.7 seconds and top speed near 100 mph.
TN politicians may push to end VW incentives if plant goes union
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Volkswagen's Chattanooga Assembly Plant is scheduled to vote on whether to unionize in the coming days, but Tennessee state lawmakers are threatening to deny future tax subsidies to the factory, if the vote is successful. The factory is currently the only Volkswagen plant worldwide that is not unionized.
The states's Republican lawmakers have been particularly vocal against the union vote. Tennessee state senator Bo Watson said during a press conference that VW would have a "very tough time" with future incentives if the vote were successful, according to Automotive News. Tennessee House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick said the "heavy hand" of the UAW is not welcome there. VW has drawn criticism from both sides because it has allowed both pro- and anti-union groups to speak to workers and hand out leaflets.
Roughly 1,500 factory employees will vote on whether to unionize from February 12-14. If successful, the Chattanooga factory would be the first in the US organized under a German-style works council system where white- and blue-collar workers directly negotiate factory issues with the company's management.
