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!!

2015 Volkswagen GTI [w/video]
Fri, 26 Apr 2013The 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.
Volkswagen offers Beetle Classic, priced from $20,195*
Tue, 23 Sep 2014The current Volkswagen Beetle already tries to be a fairly retro-looking ride by cribbing styling elements from the iconic original. However, for the new, limited-edition Classic model, VW is hopping into the time machine to grab even more vintage cues. The company is even cutting the price, perhaps in hopes of turning around flagging sales this year. You don't need to wait long for any of these upgrades either because the automaker says that the Classic goes on sale this week for $20,195, *excluding the $820 destination charge. That's $100 less than a bone-stock Beetle.
Starting as a standard Beetle with VW's 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 170 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, the Classic edition comes with a six-speed automatic and then adds some retro flair. It includes new vintage-look 17-inch wheels with simulated dog dish polished hubcaps over black spokes. It also comes with a rear spoiler, and the automaker is offering the model in Pure White, Black Uni, and Reflex Silver.
The interior mixes in a few more classic touches but includes modern amenities like a standard navigation system, satellite radio and multifunction steering wheel. However, the seats are finished in a two-tone design combining light brown leatherette on the sides and checked cloth centers, plus lumbar support for the driver's side. The shift knob and handbrake also get wrapped in leather.
VW using other manufacturing locations as leverage in battle with TN [w/video]
Sat, 26 Apr 2014We've reached a new step in the ongoing drama at Volkswagen's factory in Chattanooga, TN. The United Auto Workers recently dropped its opposition to the union vote and agreed that it wouldn't hold another ballot for at least a year. Now, the new question becomes where VW is going to build its forthcoming midsize SUV.
Earlier, it had been considered all but certain that the SUV, likely a production version of the CrossBlue concept (pictured above), would be built in Tennessee. However, it seems the Chattanooga factory might have competition to produce it. In emails obtained by The Detroit News, VW's lawyer wrote to the Tennessee economic development department in January saying, "While we understand there are some 'non-deal' issues that are causing a delay in the TN solution, VW has been successful in reaching agreement on terms at the alternative locations."
As previously reported, the state of Tennessee allegedly offered VW about $300 million in incentives to build the vehicle there and create an estimated 1,350 jobs, but it later rescinded the deal. Newly leaked documents from NewsChannel 5 (WTVF-TV) in Nashville allegedly show just how close that offer was to being completed. It appears that VW actually sent the government the first draft of a memorandum of understanding agreeing to the incentives, but the state removed the offer in late January.
