Hi, this listing is for a used 1997 jetta with 162,423 miles that needs work but runs and drives. I bought it last year on ebay needing work and most of it has been done, there are some minor things that need to be done but you can drive it while you fix it. The only reason I'm selling it is because my son gave me his car this week after he got a newer one from the dealer, otherwise Id still be driving this everyday. White exterior, tan interior with automatic transmission and manual locks/windows. There is a moonroof but it isn't working, didn't get to that, might be a fuse. When I got the car it needed a door lock actuator, muffler and brake work which I did. I put in a drivers side door lock actuator, door closes good. Installed a middle muffler and then on the right rear- brake shoes, hardware, brake cylinder and inner and outer wheel bearings. I have receipts for all that I did from autozone, the rest I got on ebay. Ive driven it every day and was just at inspection where it needed some small things still to pass. Everything was good except for the right front strut mount, washer fluid hose partially missing and license plate lights also. I bought the license plate light holders and put those in with new bulbs already. You need to still do the following: bleed the brakes, work but kind of light. Install the right front strut mount and get a hose for the washer fluid. There is some antifreeze that started to leak lately and temp sometimes goes up, gauges go weird at times so might be a speed sensor. Ive had to refill the antifreeze often lately so I just put a new thermostat in thinking it was that but that's not the issue. I was going to sell this for parts but its a waste being that I repaired a lot and its road worthy, you just need a weekend to finish the rest. Transmission shifts late sometimes but i think it just needs fluid, this car doesn't have a transmission fluid dipstick and its filled from under the car. Jiffy lube couldnt get the cap off In fear of breaking the cap but if you add fluid they said the shifting with smooth out on its own. Check my feedback and bid with confidence, I don't sell junk or misrepresent my items. Any questions please email me before you bid. Yes you can drive it home, it starts everytime but might want to tow if youre uncomfortable with antifreeze leak. It only leaks from the coolant tank that holds the extra fluid, nowhere else. I will give you the repair manual, extra key blank and a clean title. For parts I have the brake hardware for the left rear new, strut mount new and the door for the gas. Gas well has rust but they sell Bondo with a metal blend so it will fill that with no problem. There is touch up paint and scratches all over the car, dents all around so please expect wear. The previous owner didn't have a gas cover so I ordered one, add some bondo and then put two screws, not hard. Im only listing this once whole, if it doesn't sell I will part it out. The whole car has dents and dings around, expect it for the age and are in the pictures. All 4 tires are almost new with plenty of tread, radio has a cd player made by DUAL and has a port for usb or to play music through it with your phone or ipod. I plug my phone in and stream youtube through the radio but drivers door speaker not sound, rugs are a little dirty, all lights work.Good luck! Please keep in mind that this 97, is used and needs work, expect wear and tear, just put new hub caps on.

Volkswagen looking to acquire Proton, Lotus?
Thu, 26 Jul 2012Let's say you're an automaker bent on world domination looking to grow your sales. That's going to have you looking at Asian markets, because that's where some of the biggest growth has been, and that's exactly what Volkswagen is doing as it considers making another run at Malaysia's Proton.
Reuters reports that Volkswagen is interested in at least a partial stake, if not a controlling interest in Lotus-parent Proton as a way to continue a production presence in the region without having to build its own factory.
Volkswagen already builds the Passat in a DRB-HICOM facility in Pekan, Malaysia, and plans are in place to build the Jetta and Polo there, as well. With both southeast Asia and its relationship with Proton figuring so importantly in Volkswagen's plans for expansion, buying into Proton can help ensure stability. Volkswagen is being tight-lipped about the whole idea, but CEO Martin Winterkorn did recently say, "it's our clear goal to continue the successful (expansion) course of past years with great dynamics and stability," which sounds an awful lot like deals are on the table to smooth the path to further growth.
Volkswagen says goodbye to Eos, Routan in 2015 updates
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Usually automakers announce changes to their lineup individually on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, but sometimes it all comes at once - especially when the changes are ones we either expected or might not otherwise notice. That's the path Volkswagen has gone with changes to its US lineup for 2015.
The biggest change is what we already knew: that the new Golf arrives for the 2015 model year, bringing with it the new GTI, Golf R, e-Golf and Golf SportWagen (to replace the previous Jetta wagon). But there are some new details as well.
For starters, Volkswagen has finally confirmed that both the Eos and the Routan - both long rumored to be on their way out - will be exiting this year. The Eos hardtop convertible, pictured above, will linger for one last year, its Sport trim replaced by a new Final Edition with 18-inch wheels, two-tone leather interior and enhanced equipment.
Volkswagen shows off performance-ish Passat concept
Mon, 14 Jan 2013As part of its 2013 Detroit Auto Show debut package, Volkswagen has rolled out a sportier version of the Passat sedan, though it's strictly conceptual for now. A small dose of go-fast visuals have been added to the handsome Volkswagen, including 19-inch wheels, carbon-capped mirrors, an advanced front lighting system, LED taillamps and dual exhaust. Some carbon bits and upgraded leather are found inside the cabin, as well.
But the real performance chops come in the form of a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that sends 250 horsepower to the Passat's front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. That's a good boost in power over the 170 hp of the base 2.5-liter inline-five, but not quite as potent as the 3.6-liter VR6. A lowered sport suspension and revised electronic steering are also on hand, making things slightly more involving out on the road... we assume.
It's not quite the performance concept we were hoping for, but a more enthusiastic Passat isn't necessarily a bad thing. Scroll down for the press release.
