Hi, this listing is for a used 1997 jetta with 162,423 miles that needs work but runs and drives. I bought it last year on ebay needing work and most of it has been done, there are some minor things that need to be done but you can drive it while you fix it. The only reason I'm selling it is because my son gave me his car this week after he got a newer one from the dealer, otherwise Id still be driving this everyday. White exterior, tan interior with automatic transmission and manual locks/windows. There is a moonroof but it isn't working, didn't get to that, might be a fuse. When I got the car it needed a door lock actuator, muffler and brake work which I did. I put in a drivers side door lock actuator, door closes good. Installed a middle muffler and then on the right rear- brake shoes, hardware, brake cylinder and inner and outer wheel bearings. I have receipts for all that I did from autozone, the rest I got on ebay. Ive driven it every day and was just at inspection where it needed some small things still to pass. Everything was good except for the right front strut mount, washer fluid hose partially missing and license plate lights also. I bought the license plate light holders and put those in with new bulbs already. You need to still do the following: bleed the brakes, work but kind of light. Install the right front strut mount and get a hose for the washer fluid. There is some antifreeze that started to leak lately and temp sometimes goes up, gauges go weird at times so might be a speed sensor. Ive had to refill the antifreeze often lately so I just put a new thermostat in thinking it was that but that's not the issue. I was going to sell this for parts but its a waste being that I repaired a lot and its road worthy, you just need a weekend to finish the rest. Transmission shifts late sometimes but i think it just needs fluid, this car doesn't have a transmission fluid dipstick and its filled from under the car. Jiffy lube couldnt get the cap off In fear of breaking the cap but if you add fluid they said the shifting with smooth out on its own. Check my feedback and bid with confidence, I don't sell junk or misrepresent my items. Any questions please email me before you bid. Yes you can drive it home, it starts everytime but might want to tow if youre uncomfortable with antifreeze leak. It only leaks from the coolant tank that holds the extra fluid, nowhere else. I will give you the repair manual, extra key blank and a clean title. For parts I have the brake hardware for the left rear new, strut mount new and the door for the gas. Gas well has rust but they sell Bondo with a metal blend so it will fill that with no problem. There is touch up paint and scratches all over the car, dents all around so please expect wear. The previous owner didn't have a gas cover so I ordered one, add some bondo and then put two screws, not hard. Im only listing this once whole, if it doesn't sell I will part it out. The whole car has dents and dings around, expect it for the age and are in the pictures. All 4 tires are almost new with plenty of tread, radio has a cd player made by DUAL and has a port for usb or to play music through it with your phone or ipod. I plug my phone in and stream youtube through the radio but drivers door speaker not sound, rugs are a little dirty, all lights work.Good luck! Please keep in mind that this 97, is used and needs work, expect wear and tear, just put new hub caps on.

VW midsize crossover production headed for Chattanooga
Fri, 10 Jan 2014Potential labor woes aside, it looks like Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN factory must have done something that impressed the bosses in Germany, because it sounds like the three-year-old factory is set to score a second model.
The factory currently builds the Passat, and has been in the running alongside VW's Puebla, Mexico factory to build a new crossover vehicle, likely based on the CrossBlue Concept. According to Bloomberg, a pair of unnamed sources have confirmed that Chattanooga is the favorite ahead of an official announcement.
When last we heard about the CrossBlue Concept, word was that a production decision had been delayed over concerns about the three-row CUV's business case. That August 2013 story claimed that a decision regarding the CrossBlue would be pushed back until early in 2014, which means we're ripe for some sort of news, whether good or bad.
Lamando is Chinese for VW Jetta CC [w/video]
Sun, 31 Aug 2014Volkswagen is not messing around when it characterizes its new MQB architecture as modular. It's already underpinning the VW Golf, Audi A3, Seat Leon and Skoda Octavia, and will soon form the basis for many more. And here is the latest.
Unveiled at the Chengdu Motor Show in China this weekend is the new Volkswagen Lamando, a four-door coupe similar in size to a Jetta but with the svelter roofline of the larger Passat-based CC to go after the Mercedes-Benz CLA. It's essentially the production version of the New Midsize Coupe concept that previewed its arrival at the Beijing Motor Show this past April, and will be built locally for local consumption by VW's joint venture with SAIC.
Power comes from either a 1.4- or 2.0-liter turbo four mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, with an equivalent price tag below $30,000. Whether this or any similar vehicle ever arrives in North American showrooms remains to be seen, but we'll be watching to find out. In the meantime you can scope it out in the trippy video below and the photos in the gallery above.
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.
