2000 Volkswagen Jetta Glx Sedan 4-door 2.8l on 2040-cars

Year:2000 Mileage:112889
Location:

Charlotte, North Carolina, United States

Charlotte, North Carolina, United States

This vehicle has a salvage title. 

We bought it from a friend in December 2013 who purchased it at an insurance auction with the intent to fix it and give it to my daughter. We knew nothing about a VR6 and purchased the vehicle under the presumption that is was a good starter vehicle - German maker, small, manual transmission (no texting). We did not realize the car is a quasi sports car and probably not suitable for a first driver. 

Moreover the vehicle seems to have been up-kept well by the previous owner and I suspect they had seat covers because the leather was almost new looking. VW history showed dealership service and maintenance. 

The repairs related to the insurance claim were relegated to the front right side and somewhat elementary - husband works for a Toyota Dealership - and included:

 - Radiator
 - Right Axle
 - Control Arm
 - Aux Radiator
 - Core Support
 - Control arm

...this was the extent of the repairs necessary and relevant to the insurance claim. I understand that the repairs were within 65% of the value of the vehicle and this constituted a total loss claim. We were able to do the work for a fraction of the cost because of my husbands job.

Other repairs made are as follows.

 - R & R Dash and rebuild HVAC box. (new blend doors, heater core and AC condenser)
 - New center console trim. (Old parts were cracked and sticky from the deteriorating soft-touch finish
 - Sublet the lower dash parts to remove the tar-like deteriorating soft-touch finish and re-finish
 - New headliner
 - New Plugs, Wires and Coil
 - New Coolant hoses..

There are some other repairs were were going to make but didn't

 - Windshield is cracked. $185
 - Rearview mirror auto-dim is foggy and needs to be repaired $99.00
 - Cooling Hose (Water pipe to Aux Rad Return), [1J0121051L] - This part was not in stock when I made the original repairs.
 - Tires. They have good tread, but are different makes.
 - Spare tire is original and never used so it ought to be replaced.
 - Two center caps. I bought 4 new ones but they were for a Passat and didn't fit.
 - Bumper cover needs to be replaced or repaired.

The rims have some scuffs. We were quoted $200 to repaint them but I did not find them to be that significant.

Shipping: I have the ability to ship this vehicle within 500 miles or so with minimal expense. If you are in Maryland or DC I may be able to ship for free.

That is about it - any questions please feel free to ask.

Production Volkswagen Taigun crossover caught in patent filing?

Wed, 01 May 2013

Volkswagen brought an angular, bulldog-like small crossover concept called Taigun to the São Paulo motor show last year, claiming that it wanted to gauge interest in the design before making a decision about production. If a new report with alleged leaked patent images is to be believed, then, interest must have been pretty high.
China's Auto.Sohu.com has published this group of Taigun images, claiming that they have been sourced from the Chinese patent office and that the subcompact VW utility based on the Up! has been cleared for production.
If all of that is true, and if these images are representative of the final product, you'll see that designers haven't done much to alter the concept car's appearance. Comparing, shot for shot, with the images we have from Brazil, we see that even small details like roof rack-mounted lights and exhaust tips integrated in the rear fascia have been carried over. Take a closer look for yourself in the attached galleries.

Volkswagen debuts MkVII-based diesel Golf GTD

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As Volkswagen prepares for the launch of the seventh-generation Golf, it continues to show off some of the car's different variants. With the standard Golf and the ultra-efficient BlueMotion Concept out of the way, now we're finally starting to see some of the sportier versions planned for the hatchback. Confirmed for a debut at the Geneva Motor Show, Volkswagen has now given us our first glimpse at the Golf GTD.
Just think of the GTD as a diesel version of the GTI with all the handling and styling upgrades, and then add a torquey engine to the equation. (We had the chance to sample the current GTD over the summer, so click here to read more.) To go with the new body style, VW also gave the GTD a new TDI engine consisting of a similar turbocharged and direct-injected 2.0-liter inline-four layout but with an output of 184 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque - that's an increase of 14 hp and 22 lb-ft over the current GTD. That's a pretty good oomph, but the GTD won't be setting any acceleration records with VW quoting a 0-62 mile per hour time of 7.5 seconds thanks to the car's 3,036-pound curb weight.
The styling of the MkVII Golf lends itself quite well to the more aggressive body kit found on the GTD (and likely matching the GTI). The new front fascia and blacked-out grille give the GTD a sporty look up front, while 17-inch sport wheels, rocker panel extensions and smoked LED taillights finish off the visual changes. The GTD will only be offered in three exterior colors: Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. As expected, the interior gets the plaid seat inserts and flat-bottomed sport steering wheel, but the car also gets stainless steel pedals, a black headliner, ambient cabin lighting and a specific gauge cluster readout.

The 911 Of Hot Hatches Takes The Compact Game To New Levels
North American car buyers get a bit of a slap in the face when it comes to delivery schedules for new the Volkswagen Golf and pumped-up GTI models. We'll just repeat the old chestnut: It's worth the wait... even though it still stinks. This time around, Western Europe is taking deliveries of the new Golf as we speak, and GTI deliveries start between May and July. North America doesn't get the Mk7 Golf or GTI until about July of 2014.
So we approached our first drive of the new GTI with this chip on our shoulder: "You're making us wait? Well, then at least give us the exact car we'll be able to buy. No compromises, mein freund." And so it was that we extracted nearly all of our drive impressions from behind the wheel of what, for the United States, will technically be a model year 2015 two-door Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance with the standard six-speed manual.
