UCOTD: 2001 Volkswagen Cabrio GLX

by Tim Healey

Published: May 10th, 2024

Today's UCOTD is a 2001 Volkswagen Cabrio GLX.

This one is stock and the seller says it's in perfect condition. I was a bit concerned about the condition of the body as I viewed the pics, but I think that's just a wire, not a cracked body panel.

It's a five-speed stick and there are 175K miles on the clock. Our seller says that the car has been well maintained and that there are plenty of new parts, including a Bilstein TC suspension, tires, spark plugs, spark-plug wires, valve cover gasket, cv joints/axles, and water pump.

The seller says the convertible top works and doesn't leak and the car hasn't seen snow.

It's based in New Jersey and the asking price is $3,500.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Bah to all the worrywarts. A perfect used car for a young lady living near the ocean. "Atlantic Avenue" and "twisty's" are rarely used in the same sentence. Better than the Jeep she really wants.

Ras815 Those enormous, hideous U.S. spec bumpers remind me of those full-head orthodontic braces that kids used to have wear back then, too. Yikes.
Ravenuer I was looking forward to this article on the 59-60 Broughams (Italian). One of my favorite Cadillacs. However I was disappointed that you didn't even have any pictures of it in the article. I was expecting much more detail about it. Oh well, still enjoyed reading it.
Dartdude Mitsubishi's problem is that the designs are ugly and weird. Using Nissan's platforms isn't going to help. Build a new Montero and a pickup. Ditch Nissan's CVT use a six speed auto. Make sedans and minivans.
Carsofchaos I guess I'm probably the target market: 50 years old, I own a house and make north of 200,000 a year. I've not found the styling as bas as most people on TTAC seem to. I don't even really mind the name (though it should have been Galax-E....come on Ford). I looked at these last weekend on the dealer lot and the only model I would go for is a GT but they were still pushing $60,000. It's still a no sale for me
