1991 Jetta Mk Ii Ecodiesel 1.6 L Turbo, 5 Speed Manual on 2040-cars
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
This car is pretty rough around the edges, but definitely still runs and is drives. At 225,000 miles, this baby is just about middle aged. My dad bought this car from the original owner for my brother with 80,000 miles. My brother drove it for several years, then bought a new car. My dad took this Jetta back and drove it occasionally. I inherited this car a year and a half ago, and drove it sparingly. I live in the city so don't have much use for a car, especially one that needs this much work. Bad: Odometer says 224274 but it has stopped and I would say I've put on about another 750 miles. Some dents and dings Power steering needs to be replaced. Passenger side front door handle doesn't work Heating and A/C have issues 1st gear sticks The Good: 1.6 L turbo diesel engine These MK II engines are known to run upwards of 500,000 miles with normal maintenance. This engine has been taken care of and driven responsibly. Economical fuel consumption - 35-40 mpg highway New glow plugs, new belts, new front brake discs and rotors, recently changed all 4 tires Normal wear and tear of a 23 year old car, but has been driven responsibly. It's old and a little beat up but with a solid engine and no rust, this car can be spruced up and driven for quite a while longer. If you have any specific questions I will be happy to answer honestly and to the best of my knowledge. I will work with you so you can bid with confidence. This item is being sold as is. It is ineligible for returns. |

This Or That: 1987 VW Vanagon Syncro vs. 1987 Land Rover Defender [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Nov 2014As I scoured auction sites and classified ads for the perfect vehicle to take into battle with Autoblog Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, I knew I needed to find something unique. You see, I'm currently 0-2 at winning a round of This or That, in which two of our editors agree on a category, choose a side, and argue it out over a (mostly) friendly chain of emails.
The first time we did this, my chosen Fiat 500 Abarth took about a third of the popular vote in our reader poll. The second time, my lovely 1980 Oldsmobile 442 did just a little bit better against a 1989 BMW 635 CSi. Despite holding the opinion that my automotive choices, though perhaps a little bit more... obscure than my fellow editors, are still better, an outright win would go a long way toward boosting my vehicular self worth a few notches upward.
With all of that out of the way, even if three isn't my lucky number after all, I go into battle against Brandon knowing full well that I've made the perfect choice: A 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro. My rough-and-tumble van/'ute has a formidable opponent in the form of a 1987 Land Rover Defender, which, truth be told, is exactly what I was expecting from Turkus, a self-proclaimed Rover aficionado.
Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.

Volkswagen unveils sportier Passat Performance Concept ahead of Detroit debut
Fri, 11 Jan 2013Ahead of its official unveiling at next week's Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen has released some preliminary details and images of its Passat Performance Concept - a car that, as its name suggests, adds a little more spice to the automaker's midsize sedan formula. VW makes no mention of any production intent for this road-ready-looking sedan, simply stating that the Performance Concept is a way to "explore this practical four-door's sportier side."
It certainly doesn't look too sporty, the only visual upgrades being larger 19-inch wheels, dual exhaust, bi-xenon headlamps with VW's Advanced Front Lighting system, LED taillmaps and carbon-look mirror caps. Inside, there are carbon interior accents and two-tone leather upholstery. But no matter, the real upgrades for this mightier Passat are found below the sheetmetal.
Powering the Performance Concept is a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, churning out 250 horsepower and sending its grunt to the ground via a six-speed automatic transmission. For reference, that's 80 more horsepower than the Passat's base 2.5-liter inline-five, but 20 horsepower less than the potent 3.6-liter VR6. As for other performance upgrades, Volkswagen has fitted the car with a lowered sport suspension and revamped electronic steering, which should indeed add a bit more dynamic feedback to the already nice-driving sedan.
