Hello there,

I am trying to sell my car and looking for a good buyer who wants to drive a professionally converted veggie oil car. I am looking for $4,500 or an offer.

Since, I am going to be attending school in the fall in a big city with a lot of public transit, owning a car just doesn't make sense anymore. I have owned my car for the past 6 years and it has been running on Veggie Oil since 2007.

This is an amazing vehicle that you won't find too many other places and will pay for itself in a few years! This 2002 Volkswagen Jetta TDI 4A runs on Vegetable Oil and/or Waste Veggie Oil (WVO). There are 155,000 miles on its 4-Speed Automatic Transmission w/OD TDI 1.9L SOHC EFI I4 Turbo-Diesel Engine 90HP.

I bought it with 66,000 miles on it in 2007 and I have been driving it on Veggie Oil for the past 6 years. A few summers ago I drove up & back from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Munising, Michigan and it only cost me $12.00 in Diesel! So if you have a connection to a restaurant and can get FREE Waste Vegetable Oil, then this car will definitely pay for itself! That's $4500.00 divided by $4.00 a gallon for Diesel will equal 1125 Gallons of Veggie Oil or 250 Cubes of the 35-Pound Veggie Oil Jugs you can get from any Restaurant with a Deep Fryer (try to find oil that doesn't have a lot of meat cooked in it, and doesn't contain water and it will run better in the engine).


Here's the deets of your future car!!

• Professionally converted in 2007 by Fossil Free Fuels in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

• Electronic WVO Computer designed by FFF that switches to WVO automatically once the Veggie Oil has heated to the correct temperature.

• High-Grade Metal Parts that FFF machined themselves.

• 14.5 Gallon Main Tank is converted, so it holds 14.5 gallons of WVO!

• 5 Gallon Diesel Tank installed in the trunk with separate Nozzle to fill up.

• Heated Filter (this is truck sized and quite large for this car) which allows car to switch over to WVO fairly quickly.

• Second Heater that WVO goes through before entering the Engine so you will never have to worry about your WVO temperature!

• Temperature Switches connected to the Electronic WVO Computer that monitors the engine temperature and knows when to automatically switch on & off the Veggie Oil.

• Electronic WVO Computer knows when you are almost out of WVO and switches automatically back to Diesel while you are driving.

• Electronic WVO Computer automatically purges & flushes ALL of the WVO out of your Fuel Lines by switching back to Diesel for 75 seconds when you turn it off (you can actually take out the Key and walk away and it will turn off automatically after the purge is finished).

• Electronic WVO Computer is fully adjustable so you can tweak it to your needs, and allows you to manually override it while you are driving.

• Automatic Transmission and the Engine runs great! Regular Oil Changes and never had engine problems.

• Black Exterior with Beige Cloth Interior. There are a couple chips in the paint, with many scratches on the bumpers, but no big dents. There is a stain below the gas tank nozzles where the Veggie Oil drips if you spill it while filling up. There are a couple of stains, scratches, and marks on the interior (some were caused by Veggie Oil) but it looks pretty good for its age. Some Interior Parts & Coverings are worn or broken and might need to be replaced if you want to make the interior look like new. Wind Shield has a chip in the low bottom middle section that is filled, and it was there when I bought it in 2007.

• Passed Pennsylvania Inspection in March (since it's a Diesel you don't have to pay for Emissions Testing in Pennsylvania).

• New Starter and Both Strut Mounts & Bearings installed last month by a dealer, with Front Tires recently replaced and aligned. New Window Shield Wiper Blades installed.

• Power Steering, Power Windows, Dual Front Airbags and Side Airbags, Rear Defroster

• Parts that need to be replaced are: Left Handbrake Cable is rusted, Restore Headlights (since they are fogged over), Control Arms might need replacing, Battery Tray is Broken where the battery sits. There is a slow leak of Diesel from the back with a couple of drips a day.

• Air Conditioner will need to be replaced for the summer. It is not leaking so it probably needs a new Compressor. Heater works well, but will pump out heat all the time until the AC is repaired.

• Yellow Warning Light has been on the past 6 years that I have owned it. These are little electrical problems that I didn't know how to repair. One is probably something to do with the interior lights not always working properly, or that when you leave the lights on the bell will not ding to warn you. If you hook the the Car's Computer up to a machine you will see all the little problems, but I have never been able to get them all fixed in order to turn this Yellow Warning Light off.

• I recently got the car computer looked at and these are the check engine light warning signs: #17057 #3 Glow Plug Electrical Fault, #17656 Start Injection Timing Regulation Control Deviation, #17964 Charge Pressure Control Negative Deviation, #16955 Brake Switch - Implausible Signal

• Someone rear-ended it in 2007 while my friend was borrowing it. This was a few months after I bought it in 2007, but that was all repaired professionally by an Auto Body repair shop, and was paid for from the other person's insurance money. It has not been in any other accidents since then (and I never loaned it to my friend ever again). My Driver Side-View Mirror was replaced when someone hit in while it was parked.

• Tape Player Stereo that works great with one speaker in the front passenger side currently not working

• Cruise Control

• 2 Vegetable Oil Filters included for the WVO Heated Filter

• Will run on BioDiesel, but only in the 5 Gallon Diesel Tank installed in the Trunk

• Including a 5 Gallon and 1 Gallon Safety Cans if you run out of WVO and Diesel during a long trip

• If you don't have a Veggie Oil connection from a Restaurant you might be able to buy filtered Vegetable Oil from a Bio Diesel Company in your area. This car is not good for long road trips if you are only running it on Diesel or BioDiesel since you have to stop every 2 hours to fill up the 5 Gallon Diesel Tank installed in the Trunk.

• This is not a car for someone who doesn't want to get their hands/basements/sheds dirty with Vegetable Oil. You can build your own filtering machine for the Waste Vegetable Oil you will be getting for FREE from Restaurants. There are plans on the internet for various different filtering machines you can build for about $300-$1000. Here's one idea of how to do it,  [url]youtu.be/eZw2VQD4nBs[/url]  but search around for the best idea. Expect filtering Veggie Oil to be a potentially dirty process and make sure you have a good dry area that you can do it in (and that can get a little messy).


If all of this interests you please email me through ebay or leave a message/text at 215-850-994Five. I can send you more photos if you let me know your email address. I would be looking for a Cashiers Check or Money Order to be able switch over the Title to you, and unfortunately I can't really do a loan for you since I am not a dealer. I am willing to drive within 5 hours of Allentown, Pennsylvania to meet you if this is a serious offer and you have the payment ready to go that day (and if you can drive me to a bus station to get back to Allentown). But please don't waste my time & fuel if you plan on haggling me down thousands of dollars for this amazing vehicle.

Thank you for your time in looking and don't delay on contacting me if you're salivating over this car. I'm posting this in many places and will be getting many offers. Don't delay on Saving the World!!

Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota

Wed, Feb 25 2015

It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.

Carmakers ask Trump to revisit fuel efficiency rules

Mon, Feb 13 2017

Car companies operating in the US are required to meet stringent fuel efficiency standards (a fleet average of 54.5MPG) through 2025, but they're hoping to loosen things now that President Trump is in town. Leaders from Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota and VW have sent a letter to Trump asking him to rethink the Obama administration's choice to lock in efficiency guidelines for the next several years. The car makers want to revisit the midterm review for the 2025 commitment in hopes of loosening the demands. They claim that the tougher requirements raise costs, don't match public buying habits and will supposedly put "as many a million" jobs up in the air. The Trump administration hasn't specifically responded to the letter, although Environmental Protection Agency nominee Scott Pruitt had said he would return to the Obama-era decision. The automakers' argument doesn't entirely hold up. While the EPA did estimate that the US would fall short of efficiency goals due to a shift toward SUVs and trucks, the job claims are questionable. Why would making more fuel efficient vehicles necessarily cost jobs instead of pushing companies to do better? As it is, even a successful attempt to loosen guidelines may only have a limited effect. All of the brands mentioned here are pushing for greater mainstream adoption of electric vehicles within the next few years -- they may meet the Obama administration's expectations just by shifting more drivers away from gas power.

More automakers working to turn your smartphone into a shareable digital car key

Mon, Jun 25 2018

The smartphone killed the phone book, audio player, the pocket digital camera, handheld GPS devices and voice recorders. Now that addictive, transistor-filled candy bar is coming for your car keys. The Car Connectivity Consortium (CCC) announced that it's unveiled Digital Key Release 1.0 Specification for its member companies, which is the first step in standardizing protocols. As of now, the potential is there for drivers to download a digital key that can lock and unlock the car, start it, and transfer the key to another operator in order to share the car. The CCC's aim is to save development costs, stave off a glut of similar-yet-competing technologies, and create keys that reflect the expanded use cases for cars, i.e., car-sharing services and to-your-car delivery. Next year's Release 2.0 Specification will standardize an authentication protocol between the phone and the vehicle — how a digital key is generated on a secure server and transmitted to the car and the device — and "promise more interoperability between cars and mobile devices." The CCC says that "NFC distance bounding and a direct link to the secure element of the device" will assure security. We take that to mean the phone will need to be in direct contact with the vehicle, at least to open the door. Carmakers and suppliers have been working on digital keys for years now, and the ecosystem for individual owners to open individual cars is growing. Audi showed off its Mobile Key at the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show, and now calls it Audi Connect Key, but we haven't seen much of it in the field. That same year, Volvo said it expected to sell cars with digital keys only by 2017, which clearly didn't happen. Last year, the head of sales at BMW asked, "Honestly, how many people really need [keys]? They never take it out of their pocket, so why do I need to carry it around?" Even though a digital key offers an owner more convenience and long-distance control over their vehicle, car sharing is the target — and that can even include traditional rental cars. In 2013, Continental began testing a digital key in France, aimed at integrating and simplifying the electric-car-sharing business; everything from finding a free vehicle to driving it and charging it could be done on a phone. A key could be programmed with the driver's information, so that any car the driver gets in will be automatically updated with that driver's preferences, say for audio or seating position.
