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!!

2018 Buick Regal TourX vs. wagon competitors: How it compares on paper
Wed, Jan 31 2018To the great joy of auto enthusiasts nationwide, wagons are back! Well, at least there's a few more of them. The latest is the 2018 Buick Regal TourX, which we just had our first drive of and found to actually be quite good with pleasant handling, solid power and plenty of space. But, how does the TourX compare to other cladded wagons? Well, let's dive into the specs and fire up the ol' spreadsheet maker for Buick Regal TourX vs Subaru Outback vs Audi A4 Allroad vs VW Alltrack vs Volvo V60 Cross Country. True, some are from mainstream brands and others are from luxury marques, but Buick straddles both realms, so it's appropriate to look at them all. Of course, there's more to these cars than just the numbers, but they're still important, and in the case of this class of crossover-aping wagons, can vary more than you'd expect. So check out the specs in the chart below, which are followed by more analysis and photos of each. Discover and compare other wagons and crossovers with our Car Finder and Compare tools. Engines and Transmissions When comparing powertrains, the Buick is far-and-away the winner as far as torque is concerned, and is in a nearly three-way tie for horsepower. Its 295 pound-feet of torque is 22 lb-ft more twist than the next-most-grunty Audi A4 Allroad. And in regards to power, the Buick's 250-horsepower engine is only down 6 hp to the most-powerful Subaru and its optional naturally aspirated flat-six, and just 2 hp less than the Audi. At the bottom of the pack is the Subaru Outback with the standard naturally aspirated flat-four, which only makes 174 hp and 174 lb-ft of torque. That may not seem too bad compared with the VW Golf Alltrack, which only makes 170 hp and 199 lb-ft of torque, but the VW is much lighter by between 200 and 300 pounds. Transmission-wise, there's quite a bit of variation in the group. The Regal TourX and the Volvo V60 Cross Country rely on eight-speed automatics, all Outbacks use CVTs, and the Alltrack and Allroad have dual-clutch automated manual transmissions with six and seven gears, respectively. But for people that want to shift for themselves, the only option is the Volkswagen, which offers a traditional six-speed manual transmission on the Golf Alltrack. Cargo and Interior Space One of the main reasons to buy a wagon is for the body style's large cargo capacity. And for the most space for things and stuff, you'll want to check out the Subaru and the Buick.
Recharge Wrap-up: Toyota Prius airbag recall, Peugeot launches eU01s e-bike
Fri, Sep 16 2016Toyota is recalling 7,600 Prius vehicles for an airbag issue. Certain examples of the 2016 Prius could have malfunctioning inflators that could cause the passenger side airbags to deploy accidentally. There are no known injuries from the faulty airbags, but Toyota says, "This has been observed when the vehicle is parked and unoccupied for a period of time." Toyota also says this issue is unrelated to the massive recall of airbags supplied by Takata. The automaker will contact affected owners to arrange free repairs. Read more at Automotive News. Peugeot is adding another e-bike to its portfolio with the eU01s. What sets this electrically assisted bicycle apart from both regular bikes and other pedelecs is its ability to propel the bike to 28 mph under electric power. It comes with either a 400- or 500-Wh lithium-ion battery, providing 47 or 59 miles of range, respectively. It also offers an optional on-board computer with its 4.3-inch screen, through which riders can customize the electric assistance, get directions, receive sports coaching, and connect their smartphone. Earlier this year, Peugeot also launched its e-Kick scooter and folding eF01 e-bike. Read more at Green Car Congress. BYD is expanding its manufacturing facility in the US. In the second of three phases for the plant, BYD is adding onto its factory in Lancaster, California, where it currently builds electric buses. The Chinese company plans to triple the number of employees, up from the current 400, as it expands the facility by 40,000 square feet. BYD plans to build medium- and heavy-duty trucks at the plant, but declined to comment on whether it has plans to build light-duty vehicles there. Read more at Automotive News. The German states of Hesse and Baden-Wuerttemberg are suing Volkswagen over the Dieselgate scandal. The states are joining other investors seeking damages over losses incurred because of the automaker's emissions cheat device. Hesse Finance Minister Thomas Schaefer said the scandal cost the state about $4.4 million in stock losses, while Baden-Wuerttemberg likely lost closer to $450,000. Bavaria said earlier that it would sue Volkswagen on behalf of its pension fund for civil servants, which lost around $780,000. Read more from Automotive News Europe.
Recharge Wrap Up: VW's Last Mile Surfer, Apple's BMW i3
Tue, Jul 28 2015Volkswagen has unveiled its Last Mile Surfer. This little electric scooter – it folds up small enough to fit in the trunk and weighs just 24 pounds – will go on sale next year for around 1,000 euros ($1,100 US), according to VW chairman Martin Winterkorn, as reported by Autocar. Of course, we're wondering why you'd need to pay that much money to avoid walking a mile, but maybe we just haven't walked that far in an interested buyer's shoes. See more at Autocar. Did Apple want to use the BMW i3 as the basis for its own electric car? That's the word from the German magazine Manager, which says that Apple and BMW were talking about using the i3 shell for the plug-in iCar (or whatever) started last fall but are no longer actively taking place, but the two organizations have not totally closed off communication. Read more at Manager or at Green Car Reports. BMW is continuing its efforts to connect your car to your phone in interesting ways with the new EnLighten app. The idea here is to let your phone act as a bridge between alerts about traffic signals and the car, so that notifications can be displayed in the dash instead of on your phone. That should keep more eyes on the road and let drivers minimize those races to the next red light, which will save fuel. At least, it will do so in cities that broadcast that sort of signal information. Read more in the press release below. Traffic City Info Makes Driving in Cities Easier than Ever Woodcliff Lake, N.J. – July 27, 2015... The BMW Group announced today that it is the first manufacturer to bring the EnLighten App, by Connected Signals, into the car. Drivers of BMW Vehicles with iOS Devices will be able to see traffic signal data on the vehicle's display in real time. The EnLighten app makes driving in cities easier by helping the driver anticipate traffic signal changes, which can increase safety and help save fuel by avoiding unnecessary acceleration. The EnLighten app shows the current status of the traffic light in front of the car in real time as well as a countdown to when the signal will change. Based on the current vehicle position, as well as its speed, the EnLighten app offers a recommendation about whether or not to stop for the traffic light or proceed through. An audio alert notifies the driver about a pending change in the signal they are approaching.
