I am looking to sell my 2004 Volkswagen Jetta TDI (Diesel) with 217k miles. It is well "broken in" but this engine is still young for a diesel!
This has been my commuter and road-trip car which got me 70k awesome miles over the past three years - gets 45-50mpg highway! Very good paint and exterior condition, minor interior blemishes and one chip on front bumper from previous parking lot scratch. It has tinted windows (professionally done, no fading and includes the front windshield for glare reduction - this is legal in SD, too). Rides very smooth, handles very well in the snow due to heavy engine and front-wheel drive.
The car has the check-engine light on right now and the engine has been knocking intermittently over the past two or three weeks, right now it is not doing it but I haven't been driving on it, just to play it safe. The CEL remains on and I expect it may likely start doing the knocking again as it has gone away before and come back. Took it to two different mechanics for this issue, the check-engine light codes are for an injector misfire and/or wiring harness, something with the electrical connections between the injector and the engine is the most likely problem after talking to several mechanics. I can't seem to get a straight 100% answer on what the problem is and I have been wanting to upgrade to a larger vehicle anyway, so I am selling this to get cash towards that.
This is the only substantial work the car has ever needed. I went through all the previous paperwork from the last owner (I am the second owner), who also used it as a commuter car, and it has gone through every oil change, belt change, etc., at the appropriate time. The miles are essentially all highway miles!
I love this car but don't want to sink money into any repair that I could just use toward something else anyway.
I am honestly not interested in haggling-style negotiations so please contact me only if you are interested in my asking price. The KBB value for this car in good to very good condition is $4,257 - $4,457 and I believe with everything I have described $4k is a very reasonable asking price. (I am adding $125 to that because that is the eBay fee for a successful listing.)
You can email me through this site or call five 4 0 9 zero 7 8 1 nine six.
Thank you!

Anti-UAW VW workers move to form own union
Sat, 30 Aug 2014The struggle over unionization at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, continues to get more complicated. There's now a second union fighting to organize at the plant; although this one is staunchly against the actions of the United Auto Workers. At the same time, the UAW is still signing up voluntary members to its recently created Local 42 at the facility and is reportedly near having a majority of the hourly employees on its side.
The new, anti-UAW union campaign is being spearheaded by employee Mike Burton, according to Reuters, and he calls his group the American Council of Employees. He claims to already have 108 signatures in support of his organization. Burton believes that the UAW is harmful to businesses, and his goal is to force another vote to determine a preferred union among workers.
The UAW was initially defeated (712 to 626) when it attempted a union vote at the Tennessee plant in February. However, UAW secretary-treasurer Gary Casteel told Reuters that Local 42 has already signed up over 700 members. If it can reach a majority of the roughly 1,500 employees, the group hopes VW might consider recognizing it as the factory's union.
VW builds 250,000th Passat in Chattanooga in just two years
Sun, 26 May 2013It hasn't been without incident or union organizing drive, but the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, TN has built its 250,000 Passat in just a little over two years. The Night Blue Passat TDI with black leather has come just two years and five weeks after the first customer car came off the line on April 18, 2011.
In the last year the plant operated at the 150,000-unit capacity that it was intended for, but the downturn in Passat sales and subsequent worker layoffs mean it will be a challenge to repeat the feat. The plant does have the world's largest solar park, though, and you can't take that away from them.

Andretti Autosport partners with Volkswagen for Global Rallycross season
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Michael Andretti and Volkswagen have both been involved in Global Rallycross for a couple of years, but not together. Andretti Motorsports Marketing organized the final round of the 2012 GRC series in Las Vegas, and there were rumors then that Andretti was going to get in. Around the same time there were news reports that Volkswagen was preparing a 600-hp Polo Mk5 to race in the SuperCar class; the photo above is racer Anton Marklund in his privateer Marklund Motorsports Polo at the 2013 X-Games round in Los Angeles.
Now it's official: Andretti Autosport will campaign the 2014 GRC season with VWs. That's all that's been said for now, Andretti being busy at the moment launching four entries for IndyCar, two for Indy Lights and two for Pro Mazda. We have a feeling we'll be seeing the MkVII Golf involved, but the cars and the driver lineup will be presented at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6.
