This is the "SE" which stands for the Sport Edition of the 2012 VW Jetta. What that means to a normal human is that it has a little more Horsepower and Ft-Lbs of torque than the regular model. The 184HP makes it fast and fun to drive, while still providing a VERY smooth and comfortable ride as a daily driver. This model of Jetta has an independent rear suspension which adds to the comfort while giving it a sporty feel to drive; all of this is common to German/European made sports sedans (similar to BMW and Audi). Other than how it drives, the vehicle is also equipped with lots of added equipment to aid in a comfortable ride. It comes with all the standard equipment which I wont bore you with (airbags, AM/FM, CD Player, AC, Power windows, etc...) but also includes things such as; Upgraded premium sound system which includes 4 Bose speakers and a 10" sub that are stock and prewired. Upgraded premium 17" wheels. Heated seats -Let me tell you what, those heated seats come in handy on a cold January morning when all you want to do is drive to work, but you feel like you are about to suffer hypothermia due to the temperature. Bluetooth radio which allows you to play music through the radio with no cords or anything to clutter up the console. Handsfree audio which lets you push a button on the steering wheel and make a request such as "Call mom," or "Text Taylor I'm running late!" The A/C blows cold as ice for this scorching summer heat we have right now (in Texas at least). It is also equipped with XM Satellite radio capability if you wanted to partake in that (which is super nice if you travel a lot). I do a mix of city and highway driving (65% highway and 35% city) and I have averaged 30.6 MPGs since I have owned the car. (Yes I keep a spreadsheet of my gas mileage, dont judge me). It gets about 28 in the city and 32-34 on the highway.
Mechanically this car is without a doubt as good as it gets. As far as problems mechanically, the biggest problem I have had is the fuse for the windshield sprayer went out and had to be replaced ($8 repair). I am the second owner of the car and when I purchased it we had a 144-point used car inspection done at the Volkswagen dealership in Dallas. They check all exterior and interior aspects of the car, from the transmission/engine and brakes all the way to the A/C and electrical system, and the car passed with flying colors. She is always quick to turn on and runs beautifully. I really love any opportunity I have to get out just because it is such a fun car to drive!
Preventive Maintenance: The car was under warranty for the first 3 years and was serviced every 6 months or 6,000 miles, which ever came first, but that just ended unfortunately a couple months ago. If needed I can acquire the paperwork from the dealership showing those services took place. Also, the current mileage is 36,XXX but is a daily driver so will go up a little. Past that, there have been many things done to it. The car recommends a Full Synthetic (0W-40) oil change every 12,000 miles, but I had one done every 8,000 to assure engine cleanliness and it also helps keep the gas mileage up. Last oil change was done 60 miles ago. Just FYI those cost $90 at the dealership, $60 most other places, and about $35 if you do them yourself. The car has never needed an alignment, but I felt more comfortable making sure so I took it in at 35,000 miles for an alignment and the shop made some minor adjustments but said she was in perfect shape. Obviously washed and cleaned regularly. The biggest thing that has been done thus far is the new set of tires that were put on it about 500 miles ago. The factory tires were not that great and the tread wore quickly. I could have gotten about 10,000 more miles out of them, but I did not feel like it was very good for the car, so I went ahead and got her some new shoes. The car has a brand new set of Michelin Defender tires (the best tire on the market for this size). The tires include a road hazard warranty from Discount Tire which covers anything that you could do wrong to them (potholes, curbs, nails, or literally anything that pops the tire). As well as free rotations, valve stems and balancing for the life of the tires. The biggest thing with them is that they have a 90,000 mile warranty, so if they run below 3/32" of tread before 90,000 you get a portion of the money back on them. The peace of mind with these tires made them worth the money ($697). Title Issues: This is the part you have been waiting for. "Why is this great car so cheap?" I'm sure you have been asking yourself. Unfortunately, the car was in a bad hail storm before I purchased the car last year. It was left outside during a bad storm last winter somewhere in the Kansas I believe and it took quite a beating. The car has noticeable hail damage along the passenger side, hood, roof, and trunk. As an honest seller I'm not going to try and pawn it off as "just a small thing," because it is noticeable. The idiot who owned it before me decided to sell the car to the insurance agency and get a new one rather than just have it fixed, and for that reason they tattooed my baby with a rebuilt title (although it wasn't rebuilt so it should not have one). I have fought to have it changed but I haven't been able too. I bought the car with no intention of fixing the damage just because the car still looks great and drives like a dream. It is priced with plenty of room to get it fixed, but if you are looking for a great driving and still great looking car for an amazing price, well you have found your deal then. I have had estimates that ranged from $2500-$3500 on getting it fixed just depending on who you go to.
Summary: This car is a steal of a deal on the price, and is going to drive for another 100,000 miles without any mechanical problems. It has been cared for like a baby and treated like one behind the wheel. If you are a budget shopper looking to get the best deal for the money, this is a great car for you. Follow the link for a FULL gallery of pictures, I couldn't afford that many on here! Open to reasonable offers through the site and I would very much be interested in selling it in person as well. Please call my cell phone (Clint - 469-500-6305) if you have any more questions or would like to see it in person! Thanks for your time and have a blessed day! P.S. Please disregard my seller rating, I had to create a new account and lost years of hard work due to identity theft. You can read my other ratings here: http://www.ebay.com/usr/ct2the3 |

Skoda plans big investment into electric cars as part of rebound effort
Wed, Mar 24 2021PRAGUE — Czech carmaker Skoda, part of the Volkswagen Group, said on Wednesday it would invest around 2.5 billion euros over the next five years on future technologies, with more than half going to electric vehicle investment. The Czech Republic's largest exporter is hoping for a rebound in 2021 from a global car sales drop but faces uncertainty over the coronavirus pandemic and a semiconductor shortage rattling the industry. "This year is likely to be another big challenge," finance director Klaus-Dieter Schuermann said. "We expect Skoda Auto's group performance to improve, with sales revenue significantly above the level of last year." Skoda reported on Wednesday a 54.5% drop in 2020 operating to 756 million euros ($894 million). Sales revenue dropped 13.8% to 17.1 billion euros. Global deliveries remained above 1 million cars for a seventh straight year despite a 19% drop after production outages at the outset of the pandemic and a fall in China, its biggest single market. Chief Executive Thomas Shaefer said the car company was managing the semiconductor shortage "but it will follow us for awhile" and the impact was not visible yet. Skoda's core market in Europe would be electric in the future, Shaefer said, although it was still not time to completely switch away from traditional models, which include the launch last year of a new generation of its flagship Octavia model. It has also started production of the all-electric Enyaq iV model, which is a version of Volkswagen's ID.4. Skoda plans investments of 1.4 billion euros into electromobility development as part of its five-year investment plan. Investments will also go into digitalization activities and plant modernization. Related video: Green Volkswagen Skoda Electric
Which car should win 2015 World Green Car of the Year?
Wed, Apr 1 2015There were three finalists for the World Green Car of the Year announced about a month ago at the Geneva Motor Show: the BMW i8, the Mercedes-Benz S 500 Plug-In Hybrid and the Volkswagen Golf GTE. With the New York Auto Show upon us and the winner scheduled to be announced tomorrow, we thought it's high time to ask our readers which one should win. There were seven other vehicles named to the finalists list: the Hyundai x35/Tucson Fuel Cell, the Volvo XC90 T8 Twin Engine, the Audi A3 Sportback E-Tron, the BMW X5 xDrive40e, the Kia Soul EV, the Nissan e-NV200 and the Opel Adam 1.0 Direct Injection Turbo ecoFLEX Start. Would you have named one of these to the top three list instead? POLL 14386429 Green BMW Mercedes-Benz Volkswagen 2015 ny auto show world green car of the year vw golf gte
Volkswagen kills planned 10-speed DSG
Sat, Sep 19 2015If there are two things in this wild and crazy industry that keep growing, they are the size of cars and the number of gears in their transmissions. It wasn't ten years ago that cars with six forward gears – either manually or automatically shifted – were a relative rarity. Now, there are a multitude of sub-$30,000 cars with at least a six-speed automatic. But while eight- and nine-speed automatics are becoming increasingly common, no automaker has delivered a production ten-speed automatic (which may be a good thing, considering the reception to most nine-speed gearboxes). Ford and General Motors were collaborating on one as recently as April 2013, and Hyundai has was allegedly working on one way back in 2011. Most recently, though, Volkswagen announced a ten-speed, dual-clutch automatic in November 2014. And now, less than two years later, the project has apparently been shelved. That's according to our Vegemite-loving friends at Motoring.com.au, which report that both the cost and complexity of project has proved unfeasible for VW. "In the end, we had to balance what our priorities were with our transmissions and other things are more important and more urgent," an unnamed source at the Frankfurt Motor Show told the Aussie website. The ten-speed DSG was slated for a number of three- and four-cylinder models from VAG's entire range of affordable vehicles. It was also, allegedly, to feature in the ultra-high-performance Golf R400, Motoring reports. It's unclear how its cancellation will impact the company's future projects, if VW will look elsewhere for its small-car gearboxes, of if there's another – perhaps conventional – new transmission in the pipeline. Currently, VW's highest gear-count dual-clutch is the seven-speed DSG, shown above with company CEO Martin Winterkorn.
