1998 Volkswagen Jetta Tdi Sedan 4-door 1.9l on 2040-cars

First off, when you fire the car up, you get a big ole plume of black smoke, pretty cool, my old cummins truck did the same thing.  Its not as noticeable, but it will continue to blow diesel smoke through the rest of the trip. In the pictures the car is just recently washed, but a couple thousand miles from now, the whole back end will be covered in diesel soot.  I always thought it was pretty cool.  The thing leaks oil pretty good, not enough were you have to add any between oil changes, but it does mark its territory everywhere it goes.  There is not a single gauge on the dash that works. No speedo, no odometer, temp, nothing.  So that means that the mileage I stated above is innacurate.  I dont know how long before i got it that the guages went out, so I have absolutely no idea on the mileage.  I figure i probably put 12 to 15000 miles on it since i've had it.  The A/C blows hot air, the drivers door latch on the inside is non existant, so you have to roll the window down and use the outside handle.  I got so used to doing this , that I actually open my door from the outside in my truck now.  The glove box is in the same shape, it does not open.  The previous owner used the trunk to haul transmissions, so it is pretty nasty. But on the good side, there are no signs of rust in the trunk.  The rest of the car however, is getting pretty rusty.  The rockers are gone, theres some small spots here and there, but there is a real nasty spot that you will see in the pictures on the rear passenger door jamb.  Looks like someone tried to repair it a couple years ago, and did not have a clue what they were doing. Honestly I am suprised that the door even stays shut, but it does, and for this reason i keep it locked so i dont have to put any more wear or tear on it. The cruise control does not work . The CD player that is in it , doesnt really fit, i never did put a install kit in it, so its just sitting there, very easy to steal, its nothing special anywhere, but it does have a remote. I am sure I am missing something, but there ya have it.  She runs, she drives, cant guarantee for how much longer, but it saved me a ton of money this summer.  I have since moved on to a different job closer to home, and am looking to get into something a little bigger because i wont be driving so much.  Its kind of hard to get a couple bicycles and fishing poles in the old girl. It is what it is, sold as is where is, you are more than welcome to drive it around the block a couple times.  One thing i would definately recommend, and if you are looking at this, more than likely you are into these things anyway, but i would definately recommend a Timing belt change ASAP, from what I read, they are only good for 60,000 ish miles, and when they go, its game over, I have no idea when the last time it was done.
