2003 VW Jetta GL 2.0L 5 Speed (One Owner)
Thank you for viewing my ad. Up for auction is nice 2003 VW Jetta GL 2.0L with a 5 speed manual transmission. This is a ONE OWNER car, with a CLEAN title. The mileage reads 235,786 which is all from highway travel. The color is Black with a Grey cloth interior. This Jetta was a trade in at a local NJ Volkswagen dealership where it was purchased brand new. The car runs and drives 100%, by looking at the car and driving it, you would never guess the mileage! The engine is a 2.0L SOHC 4 cylinder with a 5 speed manual transmission. You could expect to get 35+ MPG with VW without a problem.
Mechanically, the car is sound. I personally put some money into this car in parts and labor. The car just had a fresh synthetic oil change with 5W40, good for at least 5,000 miles untill the next one is due. Also installed, new brake pads front and rear, crank postion sensor (common part), and a driverside rear window regulator. The car appears to have been lowered just a bit, so it does ride some what firmer. Also, the rims are aftermarket upgraded 18" with 225 series tires all around. With those upgrades, this VW Jetta handles excellent and is a blast to drive. The clutch is strong, no slipping ever and the transmission shifts through all the gears smooth as silk. The 2.0L 4 cylinder engine revs happily and has plently of power.
Condition: This Jetta is a used car, so there are some imperfections. I am going to note everything I came accross. To start, the paint on the car is very nice and glossy. I just had the car fully detailed by a trusted professional and the car came out great. There is a light dent in the right rear on the quarter panel where it meets mid way on the door. There is a key mark on the passenger side of the car. There is some stone chipping on the lower part of the engine hood. The rims have some pitting on the outer lips (you can probably re-clearcoat) though they are presentable. The passenger side mirror has a crack in the glass. The windshield has a half circle crack (looks like a rock) on the passenger side of the screen) which does not seem to be spreading. The tires have plently of life left, I would say 50% tread ware left. All electronics work, all windows work up and down, and the power moon roof works great as well. There are no check lights on the dash either.
Bottom line, the car is very solid and a strong daily driver. This would make a great first car for a new driver, or even a daily commuter for someone who wants good MPG. I personally have put over 120 miles on the car and it drives very solid. If you are interested in this Jetta, please ask any questions you may have. Good luck bidding!

VW to relax ambitious US sales targets?
Fri, 16 May 2014The Volkswagen brand sold 407,704 cars last year, a 6.95-percent decline compared to 2012, and it's down a further 8.36 percent through the end of April 2014 compared to this time last year. In order to to put the sales football between its Strategy 2018 goal posts, the brand would need to add 100,000 more sales every year to achieve the lofty 800,000-unit target. Coming to grips with how unreasonable that is, VW US CEO Michael Horn has said, "For now, we have to have realistic targets."
The reasons for the brand's slow-down are imprecise, but lots of folks are throwing lots of reasons around. Last November, VW Group Chairman Ferdinand Piech told Bloomberg, "We understand Europe, we understand China and we understand Brazil, [but] we only understand the US to a certain degree so far." Analysts say the brand hasn't had midsize and compact SUV offerings, especially an overdue retail version of the CrossBlue, and the ones it does have are priced too high for their segments. It "didn't introduce enough new engines, or alternative technologies or model variants" for the Passat and Jetta. It devoted so many resources to China that the US market suffered. It was being outspent two-to-one on advertising by competitors. Its J.D. Power dependability ratings aren't high enough to overcome its past. It "has never really taken the US customer seriously." And so on.
There's still no official admission of defeat concerning the target, but reading between the lines there are some VW execs that appear to accept it won't happen short of some deus ex machina. Still,
Volkswagen throws a Polo-palooza with four new or upgraded models
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Volkswagen unveiled a parade of new and upgraded Polo models at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, including the Polo TSI BlueMotion, Polo TDI BlueMotion, Polo BlueGT and CrossPolo (pictured above). While they will likely never make an appearance this side of the pond, it is fun to see what European subcompact drivers will be driving later this year.
The new BlueMotion models represent the most efficient petrol and diesel options in their class, according to VW. The BlueMotion TDI offers just 73 horsepower from its diesel engine but gives the equivalent of 76 miles per gallon (US) in the EU test. The BlueMotion TSI brings a little more power with its 88-hp petrol engine and has a combined rating of 57 mpg (US) in the EU cycle.
The Polo BlueGT provides a balance of performance and economy, and for the 2014 model, it gains a 9-horsepower boost to its 1.4-liter turbocharged to give drivers 147 hp at the press of the accelerator. This year's car also has an optional Sport Select suspension with electronically controlled dampers to improve handling a bit. It's still fitted with active cylinder management to use as little gas as possible when cruising.
Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
