 You are looking at a 2003 Volkwagen Jetta TDI diesel 5 speed manual wagon with aluminum wheels. This a very rare combination! The car has a few minor issues, but is clean, and runs as smooth as the day it was new. To get to the point, the issues are as follows:

Dome lights don't work. I had it looked at. There is a bad proprietary relay somewhere that I haven't bothered to fix.
Losing a bit of power steering oil. I have to add about 2 oz. of power steering oil every month or so. Barely noticable, but it is losing it ever so slowly.
Losing a bit of engine oil. I have to add about a quart every 10,000 miles. Barely noticable, but there.
Bushing in suspension. A mechanic had noticed it when I had the power steering oil issue checked out. There's a click noise when you make a hard turn at low speeds.
Needs timing belt. I didn't replace it since I've decided to sell the car. Last done at 159000 miles. You'd need to do this soon.
Small exhaust leak. You can't even smell it, but you can see a bit of leakage near the muffler when the car starts.
Minor wear in driver's seat, and height adjustment is a bit hard to adjust
EGR valve isufficient flow. There's a light on for this one. Basically, you just get a puff of blue smoke when you start the car because of this. I left it that way because then the intake won't get gummed up.
Radio doesn't tune. The stereo works and sounds good, but the antenna connector is cracked, and I never bothered to fix it. Can't get AM/FM, but the rest of the stereo works just like it should. Replace the connector, and it will work fine. Head unit removal tools included.
Rear window washer fluid hose has a crack. Squirting window washer liquid on the rear window doesn't work all that well since there's a cracked hose.
A few spots of touch-up paint, and a few scratches. I've tried to show (even exaggerate) these in the photos.
Missing rear headrests. They were missing when I bought the car, and I never replaced them.

But here's the good news:

All new air conditioner system. A/C siezed last summer, and I had the whole thing replaced. Works well.
New tires in February. I have the paperwork. Warranty is transferrable.
Clutch is strong. No slippage in any gear at any weight on any incline.
Smooth engine. No issues here whatsoever. Even runs well in extreme cold or heat. We had +111°F here last summer, and -10°F this winter. Ran great.
Strong glow plugs. Car starts even in deep cold.
Extra stereo inputs. Accepts SD card, USB flash drive, 1/8" stereo plug
Comes with all manuals and stereo code.
Records of all service since I've owned the car.

If you're handy with these, then these fixes shouldn't be too much trouble. The upholstry has some wear as you'd expect for the age and miles. Please feel free to come by and check it over/test drive it. I've tried to be as honest as possible with the condition, and you are free to completely check over the car, so this car is being sold AS-IS. No warranty, no refunds. I'll accept cash, check, cashier's check or money ordr. I'll need a $200 deposit at offer acceptance. However, if you aren't able to see the car before making an offer, when you come to pick up the car and don't like it, I'll refund your deposit. Feel free to email me with any questions.

Volkswagen breaks 40-year-old sales record in 2012

Sun, 13 Jan 2013

The last time Volkswagen moved this many vehicles in America in one year, Richard Nixon was still a President in good standing, Let It Be was a radio hit and each car wearing the VW badge boasted an air-cooled engine. That's right, with a grand total of 580,286 vehicles sold in the US last year, the VW Group has broken its own four-decades-old sales record by 2,899 vehicles.
Of that 580k total sold, 438k were Volkswagens and 139k were Audi products - increases of 35.1 percent and 18.5 percent, respectively, in year-over-year sales. The ultra-premium members of the VW group also fared well; Bentley delivered 2,315 vehicles for a 23.3-precent increase, and Lamborghini delivered 520 units for a 52.9-percent jump. Bugatti, we're told is "right on track."
Jetta (pictured) sales paced the marque with 170k models sold, and Passat also finished very strong with sales of 117k total. Tiguan also racked up its best year on file, with 31,731 models shifted.

VW exec calls US ops a 'disaster'

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

Today in the Tell Us How You Really Feel file we have Bernd Osterloh, head of Volkswagen AG's Group Works Councils and member of the company's supervisory board, labeling the company's US operations "a disaster." Why? Because Osterloh believes VW of America doesn't have the models it needs to be competitive here, hasn't been decisive enough about its plans and German higher-ups still don't understand the US market.
In truth, the top labor rep at the German conglomerate is echoing sentiments we've heard from VWoA executives for years, and there's been the same commentary from dealers: Germany doesn't pay enough attention to what the US market really wants. Even ex-VWoA CEO Stefan Jacoby, who preceded the recently departed Jonathan Browning, said early in his tenure that one of his tasks was to get his German bosses to start delivering what the US market demanded. New CEO Michael Horn is saying much the same thing seven years later, telling Sky News that it has to increase "the speed at which we bring new models to the market and innovation to the market."
Osterloh wants to get "more models" here, including a pickup truck, but we'd wonder if the economics have changed from when Jacoby said they'd need to sell 100,000 per year to make money. Osterloh also wants a decision on where the CrossBlue will be built. Although it looked as if the Chatanooga, TN plant would get the call, the Puebla, Mexico plant is still in the running because of lower operating costs. No matter what happens right now, Osterloh thinks the situation won't get better for another two years when revamped models arrive, but at least the company can start taking the steps for a better US future.

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2013 Geneva Motor Show Debuts

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

We've returned from a very busy week in Switzerland, and in going back over all of our 75 stories from the Geneva Motor Show, our editors have gathered up their personal favorite debuts from the European expo.
The wonderful thing about the Geneva show is just how wide of an array of vehicles are on display - everything from funny little one-off EVs to the most exotic of supercars to, well, truly ridiculous displays of coachbuilding. And because of that, this list of our editors' favorites might not be as predictable as you think.
But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.
