Finally... After 8 years I can finally say I found the DSM I've been searching for. One of my best friends works with a guy in his late 40's that's owned it off lease since 1995. It's never seen a winter, never seen snow. It's fair weather driven only, hardly ever sees rain and garage kept. 93k kms all original on the clock, the only mods include a full Apexi N1 exhaust, ACT clutch, and 1" drop lowering springs. Thankfully it's a non-ABS car, cloth interior. The word clean does not begin to describe it, I can't believe I own it now. Never was posted for sale. I love it Here are pics as we got it on the trailer, will post more once I'm home. The 16's have not a bit of oxidation on them and brand new tires, he also threw in 3G 17's that were on the car for most of its recent life. I have the full stock exhaust too!

More pics: Hatch struts are blown but luckily I have another brand new pair! And I've never seen switches that aren't worn off. I have never owned one that you can still read this sticker from the factory. I washed the car tonight, and the paint shines great. It is rough to the touch so it needs to be clay barred, polished and waxed to look even better. However for a 22 year old car (built May 1993) it still looks great. I took it out for a drive and it drives like a brand new car. No funky smells, no weird noises. No clunks, no squeals, not a single fracking rattle... it's quiet and rides great and smooth on the H&R springs. For plans, it's staying the way it is for some time to come. Of course I plan to do the regular preventative maintainace. Full timing belt job, new accessory belts, all the fluids drained and replaced, new brakes all the way around, under coated, and all the seals and trims protected to keep it as fresh as possible for a long time to come. This isn't something that comes around often so I want to take really good care of it.

Great find! It's like the even-better-looking younger brother to mine.

That car is amazing, I love the grey rims. The strut bar is aftermarket right, I didn't think they came with them from factory?

Wow, Nice! Wonder if this is even cleaner than Ryan Duffy's recent find? I'm all kinds of jealous!! It does look even cleaner than mine! slightly lower km too. Sweet find. I can still hold a 6 bolt over your head though.
From 92 DL to 95 TSI AWD, 95 ESI and now 94 TSI FWD... No, I'll probably never learn.

You have some mad self control, even if I did find a clean shell I would be undercoating it like crazy and ripping through the snow!
