Hello. Up for grabs is my beloved Jetta. It is a low mileage, Mk1 turbo diesel four door that runs and drives great. It has factory air (more on that) and CRUISE CONTROL!
I have about $6k tied up in it but I am realistic and know I can't get that back out of it.
Let me get this put of the way first: I REQUIRE a $500 NON REFUNDABLE deposit at auction end via Paypal. No if, ands, or buts. I will accept postal money orders or cash. NO personal checks.
I have taken this Jetta on about 25k miles worth of road trips since I got it and never been stranded. September of 2011 I drove it a total of about 4500 miles on a Yellowstone trip and averaged 42mpg for the duration. That is with myself, a friend, and loaded with camping gear. I routinely get 38-42MPG in town out of it depending on how I drive and outside temp, etc. And I get 50-54mpg highway without trying very hard and my best ever highway tank has been 56.7mpg (cruising back from DFW doing 55-80 depending on traffic and my attentiveness).
Please understand that this car is not a speed demon, by any stretch of the imagination, and it is an old diesel. It can not handle super high RPMs for long durations without risking snapping the timing belt or other problems. (At least not without being rebuilt with abuse in mind).
Anyways, the car, now.
What's Awesome:
*1984 Mk1 Jetta GL Turbo Diesel
*151.6k original miles
*5 speed manual transmission
*New clutch cable replaced by me
*Newish windshield (replaced by previous owner)
*Newish front left cv axle (replaced by previous owner)
*Newish headliner (replaced by previous owner)
*Newish radiator (replaced by previous owner)
*Newer bright headlamps. More natural color tint and very very bright (not blue or purple or white. Just less yellow and brighter)
*Both front struts have been replaced, by me, in the past year with Sachs Super Touring Oil Pressure inserts. They are really nice :)
*Replacement coolant reservoir (by me, original cracked)
*Replacement Y coolant hose that runs from radiator, block, and oil cooler.
*Brake overhaul in the past year by me.
*New shift linkage (replaced by me)
*Newish heater core (replaced by previous owner)
*Factory AC!
*I believe factory cruise control!
*I'm including an unused, $550 SVO conversion kit from greenconversionDOTnet/wvo! I never got around to installing this. So if you are wanting a diesel to turn into a veggie oil burner, this is prepackaged for it ;)
*Comes with 60k mile Michelin's that are at least 50-70% left.
*Comes with a replacement CD AM/FM radio that is passable... It works fine, the cars speakers all sound fantastic, but it clashes with the rest of the car plus it doesn't fit in real well. Previous owner did this. I had/have plans on replacing it eventually.
*Everything electronic works - rear defroster, all lights, dome light, dash light, accessories socket, windshield wipers, all speakers, glow plugs
*Seats are all in fantastic condition. Interior trim is mostly in fantastic condition (the driver door pockets and speaker covers have some cracks), the dash is in fantastic condition (the foam between the pieces is poking out and I haven't taken the time to fix is... I'm apparently a bit lazy).
*Replacement rims that are one size larger than factory.
*It has had new oil/fuel/airfilters put on it as well as an oil change in the last 3 months.
*Windows have, I believe, 80% tint. So not super dark but just enough. The previous owner had it done and they are very well tinted. I forgot about this.
What's Not Awesome:
*Injector pump is leaking and needs a rebuild. This JUST started happening in the past month. Car still runs fine, just seeping around the top seal on the pump.
*Factory AC needs work. It works when you fill it up but the coolant leaks out. I haven't spent the time or money to get it fixed yet. But the compressor itself worked fine when I got it and still kicks over and cools when you add a bottle. So it should be fine.
*The cruise control needs a little work. At times it functions 100% correctly and is amazing on road trips, at other times it just randomly disengages. I haven't really messed with that yet, either.
*It is a 29 year old car and as such it has it's fair share of minor dings and some scratches. Nothing major and it has NEVER been in a wreck. It has some very light surface rust in a few of the dinged areas but no other rust issues. The bottom of the car is rust free.
*The muffler has a big ol' hole in it and I broke out the baffles because they were vibrating and annoying me. I will probably get the muffler removed soon. The car sounds great without it (it has a resonator (factory!) further up the exhaust) and I do not see this as an issue.
*The syncro's for first gear are worn. This isn't my doing, I assure you :) Previous owner used it as a daily driver in Charlotte, NC, and it got some abuse. First gear does fine if you are stopped or almost stopped or the transmission is fully warmed up. Otherwise it will try grinding. Unless I am completely stopped (and it wont grind anyways), or going up a steep incline, I generally just use 2nd gear anyways.
*The driver seat is showing some wear but it has no rips or tears.
*I have the original rims with tires still on them but I forget why the previous owner swapped them out. I think one of them is warped slightly? I do not remember, but they come with the car.
Well, that is everything I can think of at the moment. I will be cleaning the car out completely over the next few days and giving it a good washing. It does seep oil out of various orifices as a 30 year old cranky small diesel is wont to do, but it does not use oil at any appreciable speed. It will need a timing belt in the next 10-20k miles.
If you have any questions, please feel free to message me or send a text message to (256) 346-EIGHTfiveEIGHTthree ... This number is ONLY good for texts.

VW recalls another 6,700 vehicles over fuel leak [UPDATE]
Mon, Feb 2 2015UPDATE: An earlier version of this post suggested that the expanded recall involved an additional 44,658 units, when VW tells us that is in fact the total number - adding a further 6,679 to the original recall of 37,979. The text below has been updated accordingly, with our apologies for the confusion. It was a little over a month ago that Volkswagen issued a recall for some 38,000 vehicles over a potential fuel leak. Now the German automaker and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have expanded that recall, affecting even more vehicles for the same issue. The problem revolves around a sealing cap at the fuel rail, which could fail and cause fuel to leak into the engine compartment, thereby increasing the risk of a fire. This time around, VW is calling in a selection of Jettas, Passats, Golfs, GTIs, Beetles and Beetle Convertibles, all of them from the 2014 and 2015 model years (except the Golf and GTI, of which only 2015 models are being recalled). The recall now affects an estimated additional 6,679 units, which (in addition to the 37,979 recalled previously) brings the total up to 44,658 vehicles across the United States. RECALL Subject : Fuel Leaking Into Engine Compartment Report Receipt Date: JAN 23, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V028000 Component(s): FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE Potential Number of Units Affected: 44,658 Manufacturer: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. SUMMARY: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Jetta vehicles manufactured March 28, 2014, to November 24, 2014, 2014-2015 Passat vehicles manufactured April 7, 2014, to November 18, 2014, 2015 Golf and GTI vehicles manufactured July 1, 2014, to November 20, 2014, and 2014-2015 Beetle and Beetle Convertible vehicles manufactured March 31, 2014, to November 27, 2014. A sealing cap at the fuel rail may fail, allowing fuel to leak into the engine compartment. CONSEQUENCE: A fuel leak, in the presence of an ignition source, can result in a vehicle fire. REMEDY: Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel rails with new parts, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in early February 2015. Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-822-8987. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 24BL. Note: This recall expands and supersedes recall 14V-809 (Volkswagen recall number 24Bi) and only affects vehicles not previously repaired under that campaign.
