I found another gti with no climate...it must be an option!? I thought it was standard. Maybe dash is optional... Geez I thought I knew mk4 golfs

Unless the dealer says so, it won't come with any warranty. My understanding is, dealers are only required to include a short warranty if the car is under 12 years old.
It appears to be missing the front passenger side which arch liner, which could point to accident damage. I'd be looking closely at the panel alignment, and any evidence of refinishing around the front passenger side.
Also, there's something weird about a GTI not having climate control. I thought it was standard. My '99.5 has climate control and non-digital dash. Maybe you could check the white sticker inside the spare wheel cavity under the boot floor, which I believe tells you the options it left the factory with.

A couple of things I noticed...
No climatronic
Has the 1/2 MFD. Early models did not have the digital dash bit.
The listed "factory body kit" seems to be missing.
The rear seat has the simple lap belt. This should be a 3 point retractable, built into the seat for the middle rear.

Get the VIN and then you can check exactly what is it.
or look at the build and compliance plates - located under the carpet in the rear on the left side of the spare wheel.

just did a free VIN check and comes up with '2000 Golf'

maybe newer speedo with digital display was fitted after an accident?

[JustCruisn]

The instruments may have been replaced, simply as an upgrade by the prev owner.
It looks like it has a flip key with remote also, this was not standard in 2000.
Given it has a BOV it is probable the prevous owner was an Enthusiuast and made some mods.

It may be chipped too.

The Body Kit remark is just a is based on the dealers comments, there is no body kit on this car.

I too was under the assumption that climate control in a Mk4 GTi was standard? .. but then again I also thought that they came standard with sunroofs and apparently that's not the case...

Dealer reckons it's a UK/Euro import and that all the features (1/2 MFD, regular AC etc..) came standard. Not sure how true this is. I thought imports were usually 2 doors anyway?
