 You are looking at a 2003 Volkwagen Jetta TDI diesel 5 speed manual wagon with aluminum wheels. This a very rare combination! The car has a few minor issues, but is clean, and runs as smooth as the day it was new. To get to the point, the issues are as follows:

Dome lights don't work. I had it looked at. There is a bad proprietary relay somewhere that I haven't bothered to fix.
Losing a bit of power steering oil. I have to add about 2 oz. of power steering oil every month or so. Barely noticable, but it is losing it ever so slowly.
Losing a bit of engine oil. I have to add about a quart every 10,000 miles. Barely noticable, but there.
Bushing in suspension. A mechanic had noticed it when I had the power steering oil issue checked out. There's a click noise when you make a hard turn at low speeds.
Needs timing belt. I didn't replace it since I've decided to sell the car. Last done at 159000 miles. You'd need to do this soon.
Small exhaust leak. You can't even smell it, but you can see a bit of leakage near the muffler when the car starts.
Minor wear in driver's seat, and height adjustment is a bit hard to adjust
EGR valve isufficient flow. There's a light on for this one. Basically, you just get a puff of blue smoke when you start the car because of this. I left it that way because then the intake won't get gummed up.
Radio doesn't tune. The stereo works and sounds good, but the antenna connector is cracked, and I never bothered to fix it. Can't get AM/FM, but the rest of the stereo works just like it should. Replace the connector, and it will work fine. Head unit removal tools included.
Rear window washer fluid hose has a crack. Squirting window washer liquid on the rear window doesn't work all that well since there's a cracked hose.
A few spots of touch-up paint, and a few scratches. I've tried to show (even exaggerate) these in the photos.
Missing rear headrests. They were missing when I bought the car, and I never replaced them.

But here's the good news:

All new air conditioner system. A/C siezed last summer, and I had the whole thing replaced. Works well.
New tires in February. I have the paperwork. Warranty is transferrable.
Clutch is strong. No slippage in any gear at any weight on any incline.
Smooth engine. No issues here whatsoever. Even runs well in extreme cold or heat. We had +111°F here last summer, and -10°F this winter. Ran great.
Strong glow plugs. Car starts even in deep cold.
Extra stereo inputs. Accepts SD card, USB flash drive, 1/8" stereo plug
Comes with all manuals and stereo code.
Records of all service since I've owned the car.

If you're handy with these, then these fixes shouldn't be too much trouble. The upholstry has some wear as you'd expect for the age and miles. Please feel free to come by and check it over/test drive it. I've tried to be as honest as possible with the condition, and you are free to completely check over the car, so this car is being sold AS-IS. No warranty, no refunds. I'll accept cash, check, cashier's check or money ordr. I'll need a $200 deposit at offer acceptance. However, if you aren't able to see the car before making an offer, when you come to pick up the car and don't like it, I'll refund your deposit. Feel free to email me with any questions.

Volkswagen throws a Polo-palooza with four new or upgraded models

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Volkswagen 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.

Volkswagen formally introduces super-efficient XL1

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Lightweight and low drag are hallmarks of great sportscar design. But when paired with a super-efficient, hybrid powertrain, you have the Volkswagen's XL1 that has been formally introduced in Geneva today.
When the 1,700-lb, carbon-fiber-bodied two-seater hits the road, its claimed 261 miles per gallon will make it the world's most-fuel-efficient production car. Though "production car" might be a stretch since VW said in a February press release that the XL1 would be built using "handcrafting-like production methods." We translate that to mean you won't be seeing many of these cars on the road. Though no one at VW has mentioned pricing yet, early rumors suggested a six-figure price tag.
That's supercar budget for a vehicle that has a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder diesel engine and a 27hp electric motor. With numbers like that, owners can expect 0-62 mph times of 12.7 seconds and top speed near 100 mph.

VW Super Bowl teaser with Jimmy Cliff is like a less-mean Tosh.0 Web Redemption

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Reggae super-duper-star and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jimmy Cliff has been using music to send positive vibes out into the universe for decades now, so its no surprise that his message on behalf of Volkswagen is one of redemption.
Dubbed Sunny Side, this web-spot is VW's warmup of sorts for what promises to be another blockbuster year in the world of Super Bowl commercials. Without giving away the game, the euphonious commercial sees Cliff opening his arms and his heart to some YouTube 'celebrities' that might see courser treatment from the likes of Tosh.0, for instance. We can't help but be reminded of Coca-Cola's legendary 1971 Hilltop spot with the "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" lyric, too.
Enjoy the pre-Super Bowl VW spot below, and don't forget to pay it forward... your karma will thank you. For those of you that just can't get enough of commercial-making magic, we've included a "making-of" video, as well.
