1990 VW Jetta Mk2 VR6 CUSTOM 5spd
Up for sale is a show field ready vehicle.
RARE OPPORTUNITY to own a completely restored
and retro-modified 1990 Volkswagen Jetta Sedan VR6 Mk2
has grey cloth RECARO interior with front power seats
and Wolfsburg chrome trim and will includes a set of five forged BBS wheels
Kenwood CD/MP3/USB/iPod stereo with Kicker speakers, amp, and subwoofers.
Custom Porsche Jade Green paint
with a shaved engine bay and a complete engine swap
vehicle is powered by a 1998 VR6 2.8L engine with OBD2 and 5speed 020A transmission and the engine is dressed with a stainless steel skid plate
and completed with a T-304 stainless steel exhaust
Battery relocated to the trunk with fused relays for the headlights and stereo.
Also have the USDM front grill with Hella lights and
a full European Quad grille with Glass Halo lights and a badge-less grille.
The car can be shown, seen, and inspected by appointment.
This vehicle was completely redone and has about $40k invested.
Similar vehicles have been sold from $15k-$25k.
This car is not a project car and is complete and a daily driver or show car.
Vehicle passed Virginia State Inspection and Emissions certifications in 3/2013.
Which means no Virginia state inspection until 3/2014 and it will not have to pass emissions in the state of Virginia ever again as it will be considered an antique in 2015 by Virginia DMV laws.
Please be aware that currently the car is setup without Power steering or Air Conditioning but the brackets are there and these could easily be added to the vehicle if wanted. The car runs better without these features in my opinion.
Weight savings on the A/C delete was nearly 300 lbs and the manual steering is much more responsive.
Everything works on the car as it should heat, gauges, and rear defroster.
Suspension is dialed in on Raceland coilovers with T-304 stainless steel solid front strut mounts.
Simply put, you could not build this car for less than what I am asking for it.
This car was custom built from a 1990 VW Jetta GL with no accident history and it is an original no sunroof vehicle with manual windows and the basics.
The interior was sourced from two Jetta GLI 16V factory Recaro equipped cars.
The engine swap and conversion was sourced from a rear hit 1998 VW Jetta GLX with only 78k miles on the motor. The car had about 90k miles on it before the restoration, swap, and build. The engine conversion and swap was completed using factory parts and Euro-wise conversion kit.
Again, you could not build this car for less than what I am asking for it.
Parts and Labor this car would be twice my asking price.
Send offers.
I will entertain trades, offers, and may offer a partial owner financing option.
Plan to sell this car by the end of the month, so don't hesitate if interested.
Vehicle will be advertised locally, appear at local car events with a for sale sign, and will be listed on eBay as it must be sold.
I am a car enthusiast, having built, modified, and tuned many vehicles over the years and have thoroughly enjoyed this vehicle. I am selling this Jetta to focus on other projects and interests. This is an exceptional vehicle that you could drive anywhere. I feel that I do not drive it enough and thus have decided to list it for sale. Need the space, have to let go of my toys. Bring all offers.
I will assist with shipping, pickup, or delivery.
Please be aware:
I have a Wolfsburg Edition steering wheel but it is not currently installed, due to the need of a steering wheel hub adapter.
There is an air horn in the car and it is currently wired to a button on the dashboard. All wiring is correct except for this function and the windshield washer function.
Currently the horn and windshield washers are wired to buttons rather than their respective locations in the steering column.
I could not isolate the windshield washer switch toggle on the washer arm and therefore wired in a push button feature.
The upgraded air horn required a relay and these two functions could be wired to their factory locations, switches, and functionality if needed.
The wiring for these two functions (horn and windshield washers) was done as a temporary solution to opening up the steering column wiring.
The buttons are located in places which could be removed to maintain a factory look installation.
I had planned on correcting this when I installed the Wolfsburg steering wheel and just have not gotten around to it.
Pretty minor issue.
The headliner is in great shape, the Recaros are in excellent shape but there is a small spot on the driver seat that has a cut about one inch long. Yet it is in pretty good shape and not frayed or anything, probably could be stitched or glued. Only noticed it because I'm meticulous when it comes to my cars.
There is a Fuba Antenna is in the rear dash area, because I didn't want to drill a hole in the roof of the car.
Car has a recent tune, oil, lube, filter, new battery, new alternator, recent s-belt change, the Falken tires are decent, brakes are decent, but I would expect brakes and tires with normal wear and tear may need replacement within one year depending on how much you drive.
All-in-all this is comparable to a brand new car.

Editors' Picks August 2021 | Honda Civic, Mercedes S-Class and more
Thu, Sep 9 2021This month of Editors' Picks saw us award the honor to a couple of redesigned stalwarts like the Honda Civic and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Plus, a new crossover that splits the difference between the compact and subcompact class takes home the prize. On top of this, we'll introduce you to a new term: midcompact. We'll be using this to describe those in-between crossovers that are a tad too small to be considered compact, but too large to neatly fit into the subcompact class. For a few examples of these "midcompact" cars, we'll point you to the Ford Bronco Sport, Kia Seltos and VW Seltos. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in August that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2021 Genesis G70 2022 Genesis G70 View 26 Photos Quick take: Genesis hits all the right buttons with its G70. It's attractive, fun to drive and can be had for a fair price. Enthusiasts should give it a shot before taking home one of its German competitors. Score: 8 What it competes with: Alfa Romeo Giulia, Lexus IS, Acura TLX, Infiniti Q50, Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Cadillac CT4, Volvo S60 Pros: Sharp handler, stunning exterior looks, strong engines Cons: Average interior, loses manual option, small backseat and trunk From the editors: News Editor Joel Stocksdale — "I was already a big fan of the Genesis G70. It has brilliant handling, and the twin-turbo V6 is a beast. It's even a bargain against the competition. And Genesis just made it look a lot better. I wish they'd done a bit more to update the interior, but it's still not a bad cabin. Besides, you won't think too much about it when you're hustling down a fun back road." Features Editor James Riswick — "Yes, it is small, but in a sport sedan segment where "sport" means increasingly less, the G70 still delivers (in part because of that smallness).

2019 VW Jetta vs. 2019 Honda Civic vs. 2019 Kia Forte: How they compare
Tue, Jan 16 2018The 2018 Detroit Auto Show was dominated by trucks, but there were also two all-new and completely redesigned compact sedans introduced: the 2019 VW Jetta and the 2019 Kia Forte. Follow their respective links to read our first driving impressions of each, but in short, both compacts are better positioned to steal potential customers away from the segment-leading 2019 Honda Civic, which itself was updated for 2019. Besides taking a look their specs and photos, I had the chance to go between them all here in Detroit, crawl around their interiors, sit in the backseats and figure out which of these not-especially-compacts, which all grew with their latest redesigns might have a practicality advantage. We also have full specifications on each model, which are laid out in the handy chart below. Exterior design There's honestly a little bit of the previous-generation Jetta visible in the 2019 Forte profile — especially around the doors and greenhouse. The Jetta, meanwhile, has the same sort of radically swept-back roofline as the Civic that's become all the rage throughout the automotive industry. The 2019 Jetta is also a little more visually interesting than the car it replaced, though neither the Jetta nor the Forte were as radically transformed as the Civic was two years ago. Alright, let's go to the slideshows. View 20 Photos 2019 Kia Forte View 61 Photos View 28 Photos Engines and transmissions The 2019 Jetta, 2019 Forte and 2019 Civic have considerably different powertrain options, with additional choices possible once the VW and Kia go deeper into their lifespans. Both the Forte and Civic rely on naturally aspirated four-cylinder engines in base specification, with the Civic's 2.0-liter engine making more power and a smidgen more torque than the Kia's. The Jetta goes the turbocharged small-displacement route with its 1.4-liter engine. It makes the same power as the Forte, but smacks down both in the torque department. It makes roughly 50 more pound-feet of twist than both naturally aspirated engines. The Honda Civic is the only one to offer an optional engine, which follows in the footsteps of the Jetta as a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder. Its 174 horsepower is ahead of the others by nearly 40 ponies. However, its 162 pound-feet of torque still falls short of the Jetta. Impressively, all three sedans still offer a manual transmission option, and all of them are six-speed units.
