Its my clean title 1984 maroon Volkswagen 1.6 Turbo Diesel Jetta, no not the common diesel rabbit, very well maintained. It has 224,xxx original miles and the odometer still works, however the clock doesn't lol. The car is mechanically sound, I bought it off a vw enthusiast fireman last year. The key point of this car is that it's cheap to fill up and gets LITERALLY 43-45 MPG...300+ miles on a full tank. The registration is cheap too and no worries about smog because Diesels past a certain year aren't required to be smogged. its a really cheap and reliable car that comes with a tons of cool stuff...
The Maintenance.
Recently in the past 10,000 miles I redid the front brakes, front wheel bearings, brake booster, clutch, suspension (coilovers), and changed the oil (6/8/13)
The Extras(can be worked into the deal):
I bought a set of the E-Code European headlights from a guy in germany off of vortex. The Fenders are rolled and pulled, but you can't tell because of the fender flares :) I also tucked the front bumpers because I hated the diving board style. Also I have a MK1 GTI front valance in black that I've been meaning to pop back on, but I just don't have the time.
The Reason:
I just got a better job a few weeks ago so I decided to buy another car, particularly an E30. So I have no real use for the Jetta anymore. It'll be sad to let it go, but it's been a great car to me. It's got plenty of character and life left in it.
The Bads:
No rips inside but some of the stitching has come undone in the rear seat headrests but that is it, the interior is in pretty good shape for an 1984 VW
Couple of dings thanks to college parking idiots.
The passenger side window was broken into in such a weird way by crackheads in SF's tenderloins, who also stole a broken radio from it, but left the speakers which still work. They chipped the paint on the door pillar but its okay.
The paint isnt great, its BARELY starting to fade on the hood, but its not noticeable
It has no radio at the moment, But I have another deck for it, just not hooked up.
AC needs recharge
Heres a video you can see the CONDITION OF THE PAINT WHEN ITS NOT WAXED LIKE IT IS IN THE PICTURES ON THE AD and the rear seat unseamed, and in the video it has the STOCK HEADLIGHTS which i can sell the car WITH for a LOWER price. The PAINT LOOKS BETTER IN PERSON lol.

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.
An inside look at VW's new California R&D center
Thu, 18 Oct 2012Less than two months ago, the Volkswagen Group opened a new facility in Oxnard, California (about an hour's drive west of Los Angeles). The $27 million investment, touted as Test Center California (TCC), serves as a research and development lab testing emissions for all brands under Volkswagen's umbrella, including its newest member, Porsche. While still not fully operational, we toured the new 64,000-square-foot building last week and had a first-hand opportunity to see just how much work is involved testing engines and meeting increasingly stringent government emissions standards.
Replacing a similar facility established in 1990 in Westlake Village (about 20-minutes east of the new location), our guide explained how Oxnard was chosen for its temperate climate, varied regional terrain for test drives and low altitude. (The area is only a few feet above sea level - a critical parameter when instrument testing emissions.) The new facility is capable of analyzing hundreds of vehicles, prototypes and customer-owned vehicles, annually.
Most interesting to us was the huge stainless steel climate chamber, with a massive four-wheel dynamometer that allows VW to test running vehicles in both scorching desert and freezing climates without ever leaving the building (an Audi Q7 was running in place during our visit). We were also mesmerized by the countless storage tanks and intricate plumbing of chemicals, stored in both liquid and gas states, needed to perform the variety of tests. Lastly, we took a look at Bugatti's service center on the west coast, located completely within the new center. While there were no supercars on site, the facility is equipped with plenty of spare forged wheels (mounted with expensive Michelin PAX tires) and a Veyron-specific repair jig that allows the vehicle to be completely disassembled, if needed. It is a shame that the facility, which set off all of our automotive geek alerts, is closed to the public.
VW promises 7-seat CUV for America in 2016
Mon, 13 Jan 2014On the eve of the Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen chief executive Martin Winterkorn has confirmed the imminent arrival of a new crossover. The model, previewed at the same show last year by the CrossBlue concept pictured here, will be unique to the North American market when it arrives here in 2016. The new three-row, seven-seat crossover is part of an ambitious expansion plan on the part of Volkswagen and Audi in North America, where the two brands aim to sell a million vehicles by 2018.
That's a mighty big increase over the 600,000 vehicles which the Volkswagen Group sold here last year, but it's moving in the right direction: That number is already a 100-percent increase of what it sold here just five years ago. At that rate, VW should have little trouble meeting its goals, particularly with the arrival of the new crossover and the introduction of Golf production at its assembly plant in Puebla, Mexico. Read the full statement below for more.
