2001 Volkswagen Jetta Rare Glx Vr6 With 5 Speed Manual No Reserve on 2040-cars

Year:2001 Mileage:149683
Location:

 I am selling my rare 2001 Jetta GLX. These are top of the line for the Jetta's. It has power everything including sunroof, heated leather seats, Monsoon stereo, etc. I will give you a breakdown of everything on the car:

Mechanics: The car has 149683 on the odometer. The car runs great with plenty of power. It has a 5 speed manual transmission and VR6 engine. The check engine light is on and it reads emissions workshop on the onboard computer. I am assuming this means it needs an O2 sensor. I just replaced the seals for the oil cooler, put a new coil pack on it (old one had a crack), and new Bosch Iridium plugs. It has a small coolant leak that I believe is coming from the "crack pipe." Besides those two issues everything is great on the car. All the power works and has a great sounding stereo for factory. It has brand new BF Goodrich tires all the way around.

Body: Body is in pretty good shape. There are no major dents on the car. The driver side fender has some peeling clear coat on the top and there are two small spots on the front of the hood that the paint was chipped and it has some surface rust that can be knocked off and touched up. There is no rust on the frame or anywhere on the body.

Interior: The interior is in great shape on the car. The seats are perfect with no tears or rips anywhere. The dash does not have any cracks in it anywhere. The floors are clean with just a vacuum needed to make it perfect. The trunk carpet is good as well. I think the front seats had covers on them most of the time and the covers are still in the trunk.

All in all the car is in good shape and is fun to drive. I bought it as a gas saver due to my other vehicle being a full size truck. I just do not know very much about VW so I am selling it to buy a car I know more about how to work on. I do have it for sale or trade locally so if it is gone before the auction ends then I will end the auction.  If you have any questions about the car you can email, call, or text me, 864-254-8572

I took the car to Auto Zone today to have them read the check engine light because I noticed it had a little skip. They hooked up the OBDII and it is not an O2 sensor that is bad. It is actually the Cam Shaft Position sensor. I thought this was good news because the part is $68 on ebay, see the link below, which is cheaper than the O2 sensor. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Audi-Porsche-VW-EuroVan-Jetta-Phaeton-Touareg-Engine-Camshaft-Position-Sensor-/190707088822?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A2001%7CMake%3AVolkswagen%7CModel%3AJetta%7CSubmodel%3AGLX%7CEngine+-+Liter_Display%3A2.8L&hash=item2c67073db6&vxp=mtr

Volkswagen Golf Variant Concept R-Line puts the sport in SportWagen

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

With the introduction of the newest Volkswagen Golf Variant, we get an early look at what will most likely be the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here in the US. To further wet our appetities, VW is now teasing something a little sportier with the Concept R-Line. Looking the part of a GTI wagon (or a stretched Golf R), the Golf Variant Concept R-Line has a production-ready appearance that has us hoping we'll see this sporty wagon sooner rather than later.
The R-Line starts off with a new fascia that isn't quite as aggressive as the recently introduced GTI, but it gives the new styling some extra punch. Below the fascia is a lower splitter that visually carries back into the rocker panel extensions, and the rear of the car gets some bright exhaust tips and a rear diffuser. The Lapis Blue Metallic paint job probably does enough on its own to add a sporty flair to the Golf wagon, and it's all finished off with 18-inch split-spoke wheels. Inside, the Concept R-Line shows off sport seats wrapped in carbon leather featuring blue nappa inserts in the middle.
Rightfully so, VW brought the Concept R-Line to Geneva with its TDI and 4Motion all-wheel-drive system. A sporty, all-wheel-drive diesel wagon? Yes, please. Scroll down for the full press blast with all the details.

Help a couple drive their 1984 Vanagon around the world

Mon, 22 Apr 2013

Meet Brad, Sheena and Nacho
Driving through China is a pricey proposition. The couple will need to pony up a staggering $19,514 just to cover the fees.
Brad and Sheena Van Orden are in the midst of a life-defining campaign to travel around the world, and they're doing it in a 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon custom built for the occasion. The past 15 months have seen the couple quit their jobs with Gore-Tex and drive from Arizona to the very southern tip of Argentina after spending a full two years saving and preparing for the trek. Now they're in southern Asia gearing up for the next leg of their journey.

Volkswagen Cross Up! aimed at rugged lifestyle folks, complete with plastic cladding

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

If you thought there was nothing wrong with the Volkswagen Up! that a little body cladding wouldn't fix, you're in luck. VW has officially pulled the wraps off the production version of the Cross Up!, and its wheel arches and rocker panels are full of the black plastic cladding you've been yearning for.
In addition to the "particularly rugged design and tough, lifestyle qualities" that the cladding exudes, VeeDub has also seen fit to put its Cross Up! on a new set of 16-inch alloy wheels clad in 185/50-series tires. Inside, there are new kick plates to go along with a dash pad that can be had in red, black or silver.
All that cladding must equal additional off-road readiness, right? Well, sure... just so long as you're fine with the same 75-horsepower three-cylinder engine that all other Up! models also feature, along with a five-speed manual transmission sending power to the front wheels, again, just like all other Up! models. The Cross Up! appears to have a taller ride height than other models, but we haven't been able to find out what - if any - changes have been made.
