THE BASICS: Up for sale I have a 2001 Volkswagen Jetta TDI. I have a clean Ohio title in hand. I am the second owner. I bought it about three years ago from a woman outside Pittsburgh with about 160k on it. I put an additional 75k on it. There has been over $6,000 put into the car in the last year as listed below. I would like to get something near that for it. The car runs great, no leaks or burning oil or anything like that. When I had the head done, the mechanic inspected the vehicle very well to make sure it was worth putting a few thousand into and he was sure it was worth it. 

Work Done Recently: It has a NEW - not rebuilt - Head (with warranty) and timing belt along with associated head gasket, water pump, intake manifold cleaning, coolant flush, power steering fluid flush, transmission fluid flush, air filter etc about five months and 8k miles ago. He used the best parts in all that work. In the last year it had a new alternator with associated pulleys and belts, brakes all around (done this month along with bleeding), two new rotors, two new hubs, three new hub bearings, trunk latch, antenna, windshield, wiper transmission, oil filter cap, tie rod, drive belt, fuel filter and probably a few other little things as well. I had a new battery put in just over a year ago. The work was done at a specialty foreign shop near Pittsburgh that specializes in TDI's. I have receipts for this work. It has always had synthetic oil run in it. The transmission fluid was changed along with the coolant when the head was done. I always ran full synthetic in it since I got it with 140k on it. The lady I bought it from always had it serviced at Kings VW in New Castle PA and when they closed, at Day VW in Pittsburgh and also had full synthetic in it. 

The Bad: There are two things I need to do to it still. The ABS light is on because I cracked the sensor when doing the brakes a couple weeks ago, and as you know, those are really tough to get out ($50 part, but I just need time to do it). It also needs two new plugs and a new harness to get the engine light off. I am going to just replace all four plugs though while I'm at it. The body has some light surface rust but nothing major. The front fenders were replaced and look great.  


Overall:  The car runs great!  It always starts right up for me, even on the coldest NE Ohio mornings.  There have been some mornings it was down around 0 degrees and the glow plugs really did their job.  It started right up.  It shifts smooth.  All the options work great (sunroof, heated seats and mirrors etc)  The only think I am not sure on is the cassette player because I don't have any tapes to try on it.  The mileage is amazing still.  When the head was replace the mechanic adjusted the timing a little bit and it gets around 48 MPG highway.  If I drive a mixture of highway and town I generally get 40 mpg.  The body is pretty clean.  There is some light surface rust and a little smooth dent where there was a bike holder on the roof and a little bit of touchup work done.  There are no huge dents or rust throughs or anything like that.  It is nice as you can see from the picture.  The interior is nice as well.  The vinyl and plastic are in good shape with just normal wear.  There are no cracks or rips or major stains.

Features: This car has two extra 5 spoke alloy matching wheels. It has lots of options like the power sunroof, heated seats and mirrors, power windows, locks and mirrors, 6 disc changer with cassette, automatic, alloy wheels, ABS. All the options work perfect still (except I'm not sure about the cassette tape, I don't have any tapes to test it!) The A/C blows ice cold and the heat is toasty warm. 

Roundup: I have over $6,000 invested in it the last year. Hoping to get close to what I have in to it in that time. I got a different job and am in the office now instead of on the road, so I am getting a bigger car. That is why I am selling it.

CALL or TEXT me at 330-550-6785 with any questions, to see it or for pics etc. Make me an offer. Thanks!

VW agrees to halt next-gen rally car development to help others stay in WRC

Sat, 22 Jun 2013

Volkswagen has petitioned the FIA to hold on to the current specifications for cars in the World Rally Championship, according to Autosport.com. The move is evidently an effort to keep as many competitors in the sport as possible, despite the fact that using the current spec racers may actually hurt Volkswagen's chances at winning. The three factory teams currently competing in the WRC are at the end of a three-year homologation cycle at the end of 2013, and new cars are expected to bow next year. But developing new racers could cost as much as $4.7 million.
That price tag would put M-Sport (which fields Ford racers) out of the WRC game for 2014 and would put Citroën participation in question as well. VW has already begun work on the next iteration of its Polo R WRC, and the hatch has nabbed four wins in six rounds this season. Now it appears that car won't bow until at least 2015. The FIA has officially agreed to freeze homologation of new WRC cars until the end of next season.

2014 Volkswagen XL1 [w/video]

Mon, 11 Mar 2013

World's Most Efficient Car Impresses, Not Without Compromises
Among our many duties at the recent Geneva Motor Show, we were offered a pretty exclusive drive in the new Volkswagen XL1 hyper-efficient plug-in diesel hybrid. There is so much that is interesting about a car like this reaching production from a major automaker that it's tough to know where to begin.
First off, you should know that - at least for this generation - there is absolutely no chance in Albuquerque that this "1-liter vehicle" (i.e. a vehicle that can burn just one liter of fuel to travel 100 kilometers, or 62.1 miles) will ever make it into the hands of North American customers. We, too, were having trouble imagining an XL1 in typical American traffic, surrounded by comparatively massive pickups and SUVs. The driving experience had us recalling a couple of weeks in 1999 when we drove the then-revolutionary Honda Insight hybrid on US roads. We keenly remember the feeling of being very small and vulnerable, even as we felt proudly green in our 61-mpg Tochigi pod. Thing is, the Volkswagen is smaller still, and nearly as light despite its more complex drivetrain and safety features.

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.
