2000 Volkswagen Jetta GLS

For sale is my 2000 Jetta GLS with 230,000 highway miles on it. The super reliable VW 2.0 gas engine gets great gas mileage. I bought the car brand LIGHTLY used in 2002. I have taken pretty good care of it but it is time for something new(er). I have been driving this car for the last 12 years and have CONSISTENTLY gotten 31 MPG on every tank.

  The exterior is RED, straight with a couple very minor parking lot dings from other cars, and a  dent on the upper fender on the passenger side, just below the A pillar (front windshield frame/door frame area) and the wheel opening (see pics). The rocker panels are in GREAT shape and there is NO RUST to speak of on the body of this car.  

  The interior is in Very good condition as well. It is a BLACK leather interior.  There is a small cigarette burn in the driver’s back passenger seat that was there when I bought it. It is the size of an eraser head.  The sun/moon roof works flawlessly and the headliner color is grey and in very good shape.

The factory floor mats are in great shape. I’ve installed the McNeil brand of floor liners since the day I bought it and the ORIGINAL carpet and FLOOR MATS look excellent. The stereo (Monsoon?) is 6 disc CD (in the trunk), tape, AM/FM stereo.  I honestly don’t know what is going on with the stereo, the sound won’t come on for a couple/few minutes and then it’ll come on. Heat works very good.  . The AC works EXCELLENT. The seats are manual with lumbar support. All power windows and locks work EXCEPT for the passenger rear. I’m not sure if it is a regulator, switch or electronic, but it is all out on the RIGHT REAR side. The car comes with 1 of the switchblade keys.  You can find one online at ebay and get it done at a dealer if you want another key.

  The issues with the car:  Approx 10000 miles ago I was driving along and the car “just quit”. I had it towed to an auto repair shop. The shop replaced the timing belt that had snapped. He warned me that it was a zero clearance head and that there could be damage, but he’d have to remove the head to check. I did without the head removal and took the car after he replaced the timing belt. Ever since then, the CHECK ENGINE light has been on with an issue of #1 Cylinder Misfire code. The car smells a little “rich” when running it BUT it still gets 30 MPG and the engine still runs great.   A little bit of off idle vibration for about 2 minutes until the engine warms up and then it runs as good as it ever did (like a top). The exhaust will need to be replaced at some point. It runs and I’ve had it “patched” with a “sleeve” over the pipe with the leak, but it still sounds “tinny”. It is holding but is a little on the noisy side.

The suspension has not been touched, so it could probably use some struts/shocks replaced.  The front grill is beginning to lose it’s clearcoat in spots.  The tires have about 3/4 tread left in the front and the rears are still like new . I think they have about 10k miles on them. The clutch is in ok working order as is the five speed manual transmission.  There is a small “star” in the passenger side windshield were a rock hit it.  Hood opens and closes perfectly, as does the trunk and gas door.  So that is everything I can think of to tell you about the car. It really is pretty decent for a 2000. Please check all the pics first before asking questions. If you need anymore info please call 937-286-6868 or text or email.
