This 1995 Volkswagen Golf Variant is a no-frills, long-term-owned example of the utilitarian Mk3 estate, finished in White over a Black interior. Showing 296,887 kilometers (~184,500 miles), it is powered by the famously durable 1.9-liter naturally aspirated diesel engine, paired with a manual transmission. With over two decades in the hands of its current owner, this Golf represents the essence of honest, functional motoring from Volkswagen’s mid-'90s lineup.

Presented in its most basic form, this Golf Variant is a true bare-spec car, without air conditioning, electric windows, or other luxury features—just the fundamentals. The White exterior shows signs of age with various rust spots, and the sills have previously been repaired, a common area for corrosion on these models. That said, the car still presents respectably, with straight body panels and a purposeful, unpretentious appearance.

The Black interior remains simple and usable, with a full extra interior included in the rear, along with miscellaneous spare parts. Mechanically, the 1.9 diesel engine is known for its reliability and longevity, and this one continues to start, run, and drive well. The seller notes an occasional fuel leak around the diesel pump, a minor quirk not uncommon for older diesels of this era.
