2003 Vw Jetta Vr6 2.8l - Arizona Car - 6 Spd Manual on 2040-cars
Glendale, Arizona, United States
|
We are selling our 2003 Volkswagen Jetta VR6 2.8L, 6 spd
manual with 130k miles on it. The
vehicle is not running. It looks as
though it blew the head gasket. It has
new tires and a new battery not even a month old. This is an Arizona car, which are highly desirable since we don’t go through the harsh winters - salted roads, rust and corrosion issues are not a problem for us. The Jetta is black with a black interior, it is a very sharp car and in good condition considering its age. I’m selling it as is and giving the opportunity for someone to do the repairs necessary to end up with a really nice car at a good deal. The current book value is $5900 and I have included an image of the book sheet for you to verify. I’ve got many projects that I want to get to and this VW is down my list of priorities right now. Not to mention its 100+ degrees and I really don’t want to do the repairs in this heat. If it does not sell now I’m okay with keeping it and doing the repairs when the weather cools off. This is an incredible opportunity for you to own a highly desirable AZ car at a fraction of it's actual value. Please expect to either replace the head with a rebuilt one or rebuilding the current head – but it would be foolish not to do this since it will be off anyways. My assumption at this point, not having the motor torn down, is that the head, head gasket and new fluids should get this beautiful car back on the road. Again, this is an assumption since I have not taken the topside of this motor a part yet to verify exactly what is necessary. Regardless, at this low reserve price, whatever is necessary even up to replacing the entire motor will leave you in a good position value wise to what you are paying now. There are your typical dings & scratches which are to be expected with a vehicle of this age. There is a tear in the drivers seat which I have shown in the pictures. Please understand, this is a 2003 vehicle and you should expect the typical wear and tear that you would see on a car that's 11 years old. If you need more pictures, please ask for them. If you need more information about the car, please ask before you bid. Please understand that you are responsible for shipping this car in its present non-running condition. You need to make arrangements with your transportation company and make them aware of this. The Jetta is advertised locally and I do reserve the right to sell it outside of this auction at any time and cancel this auction. A $500 deposit is required within 24 hours of completion of this auction. The balance can easily be handled with a bank wire transfer, a certified bank cashiers check or in cash if you live local and plan on picking it up yourself. The vehicle must be paid for in full within 7 days of the completed auction and before the vehicle will be released to its new owner. |

Volkswagen lays off 500 Chattanooga workers
Fri, 19 Apr 2013The redesigned Volkswagen Passat has been a decent seller since its debut in 2011, but sales have apparently dropped off enough that the automaker is trimming some of the employees from its Chattanooga, TN assembly plant. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen will be cutting shifts and laying off 500 contracted workers in response to slowing sales.
Currently, the plant has three teams running 10-hour shifts Monday through Saturday, but starting May 13, this will be reduced down to two teams running 10-hour shifts Monday through Thursday. This will be done to reduce dealer inventory (the article says that VW dealers, on average, have a 97-day supply of Passats) and production capacity (currently running at an annual pace of 170,000 units, which is more than the 150,000 annual units the plant was planned to produce).
This, of course, isn't saying that the Passat has been a failure since VW added 200 full-time employees to the plant in February 2012 to keep up with increased demand. The AN article says that automakers frequently overstaff plants during the launch of a new product - or in this case, a new product and a new plant - but eventually reduce the workers as things run smoother and more efficiently.

VW joins Daimler's protest of new A/C refrigerant as EU deadline for compliance passes
Sun, 06 Jan 2013The case of Dupont and Honeywell's refrigerant R-1234yf is doing the exact opposite of keeping things cool. The two chemical companies have spent years and hundreds of millions of dollars developing R-1234yf to replace R-134a, the new refrigerant shown to be 99.7-percent kinder to the environment than the one it is meant to succeed. Part of that development has been years of testing by governments, outside safety agencies and automakers to approve the chemical for use in cars. It passed the protocols necessary for the European Union to declare that new and significantly revised cars from 2013 onward needed to use R-1234yf, and mandated that every car as of 2017 must use it.
Enter Daimler AG. The automaker created a head-on collision test with a B-Class at their Sindelfingen test track that would lead to the pressurized refrigerant being sprayed on the engine. The result in 20 out of 20 test was that the refrigerant burst into flames as soon as it hit the hot engine, while Daimler says that R-134a does not catch fire in the same test. Another unexpected result of the R-1234yf test was the release of hydrogen flouride, a chemical far more deadly to humans than hydrogen cyanide, emitted in such amounts that it that turned the windshield white as it began to eat into the glass.
Said a Daimler engineer in a Reuters piece, "It was scarcely believable. The most complicated lab tests conducted using the most sensitive measuring instruments around found nothing and all we do is drive a car around a couple of times, open a tiny hole in the refrigerant line and the next thing you know the car is on fire." So Daimler said it wouldn't use the refrigerant, and it recalled the cars it had already shipped with R-1234yf.
