2004 Vw Jetta Wagon Tdi 5 Speed Stick Black/black Leather One Owner, No Accident on 2040-cars
Tekonsha, Michigan, United States
I bought this car new and took delivery 12/28/2003. It has been a wonderful car and now I want to buy a new VW diesel. This car has shiny Black paint with Black leatherette interior. It has a great Turbo Diesel engine with a 5 speed stick shift. It has great acceleration and is fun to drive, yet it is a quiet diesel. I have driven this car 157,500 miles (approximately) at an average of 43 mpg which equals 9 cents/mile at $3.90 per gallon. On longer trips it has gotten near 50 mpg! This car is so good that I replaced the front emblem with a Mercedes emblem many years ago. It also is lowered 2" with a H&R lowering kit that was professionally installed. In dash Navigation was also installed using VDO Dayton Navigation that works off CDs (see photos). This was available in Germany and I bought a USA version from the German supplier VDO Dayton and had it installed. The professional installer did not connect the steering wheel controls to this radio but I am told that if I take it back in, they can make them work. Disc Brakes all around, Michelin Tires with plenty of tread left, Moonroof, 200 watt stereo/CD player are also standard in this GLS model and are working good. It has heated seats and mirrors but the drivers bottom quit working some time ago and VW wanted $500 to fix it so I get along without it. Drivers back and passenger bottom and back still work as do the mirrors. Mobile 1 or an equal synthetic oil have been used since new allowing 10,000 miles between oil changes. Currently the car runs great and uses no extra oil. This car has never been smoked in, has never had a collision, and has had only one driver the majority of the time (I am now 75 years). Once in awhile my wife drove it. $300.00 must be paid by winning bidder within 24 hours of the auction ending via PayPal. The balance must be paid in cash, or other cash type payment method. The title is clear with no liens. Two sets of 17" ASA aluminum wheels are available for $700 for Winter set with Bridgestone Blizzacks with years of tread left and $500 for Summer set with Bridgestone Summer Tires that have little tread left. These will be sold in separate auctions. I ran these wheels most of the time on this car and just replaced them with the original 15" Michelin tires and stock VW aluminum wheels. Look at our other auctions for slide rules, books, car parts, Coca Cola trays and other things that a retired Mechanical Engineer is parting with. I have 2 MG Midgets and lots of parts for them. Tell me what you need and if I have it, I will run an ebay auction with the part. Added 7/17/2014 This car is For Sale locally and if it sells here for more than the auction price, then the auction will be cancelled. So bid and lets get it sold on eBay! Timing belt has been changed twice, once at about 80,000 miles but more recently 4/12/2011 134,405 miles when the water pump quit. During that service at Maple Hill VW in Kalamazoo, MI they also installed new tensioner, idler, water pump, glow plugs, and a new battery. 6/17/2011 136,969 miles a local garage replaced the rear brake caliper pads with ceramic and installed new rear rotors. 12/3/2012 150,031 miles Maple Hill VW replaced the rear hatch emblem and switch because it would not work off the key fob. 8/3/2013 150,969 miles local brake shop replaced the front brake pads and a cliper frame bracket plus lube, oil, filter with synthetic oil. Car was lowered with H&R kit 12/7/2007 90,195 miles. All 4 wheels were realigned. Tires seem to wear normally. New clutch and flywheel was installed at this time. Within last 2 months, I had a local body shop remove rust bubbles from lip of left front fender and rear hatch, they could find nothing anywhere else. Not bad for a 10+ year old car but it is a VW! Oil, filter and lube were done again about 1 week ago even though the 10,000 miles had not passed. You might notice above that, if the miles on the invoices are all correct, there are times when I haven't driven this car much. I have 7 cars, 3 are diesels and these are my drivers, one is a Mercedes with AWD and I use it more in the Winter. I have 4 older collector cars 1929 Ford, 1957 Cadillac, 1970 MG Midget and 1975 MG Midget. |

Volkswagen Caddy hauls its cute self into Geneva
Wed, Mar 4 2015Here in the States, we have a small but growing segment of little people-and-stuff-carriers, including new things like the Ford Transit Connect, Nissan NV200, Ram ProMaster City, and so on. But in the Old Country, these little guys are everywhere, and hardly a new concept. One of Europe's best in this segment – the Volkswagen Caddy – has been given a thorough refresh, combining all of the great-to-drive characteristics of a Golf with the functionality of a Touran van. Buyers can choose between four different versions of the 2.0-liter diesel inline-four, or three gasoline engines in 1.0-, 1.2-, and 1.4-liter displacements. There's even a natural gas version. And with its Golf roots, your author is, shall we say, really, really interested in a GTI version of this little cutie. The Caddy you're seeing here is, obviously, a passenger van configuration with windows abound. Buyers can also opt for a panel van variant, for more secretive load-hauling. Have a look at the updated Caddy in the images above, and read all about it in the release below. The new Caddy – always the best choice – world premiere for the fourth generation of the best-seller - Entry-level price reduced due to new versions - Emissions and fuel consumption reduced by new EU6 engines - Safety increased by new driver assistance systems - Design refined with clear edge Hannover/ Poznan, 04 February 2015: Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is showing the fourth generation of the hugely popular Caddy for the first time. Around 1.5 million of the award-winning previous generation were sold worldwide during its eleven years in production. A success that the new Caddy is intended to continue because the urban delivery van and its privately used brother have been enhanced and refined in every area. In Germany, prices for the new Caddy start at ˆ 14,785.00 (net, panel van) and ˆ 15,330.00 net (ˆ 18,242.70 gross, as Conceptline, replacing the previously familiar Startline), each with the 62 kW TSI entry-level engine and thus, when adjusted for feature content, are even below the level of the predecessor model. The drive systems use state-of-the-art technology, with the Caddy's new engines providing maximum efficiency and compliance with the EU6 emissions standard. The basis for the four TDI diesel versions is always a two-litre four cylinder engine. Their performance ranges from 55 kW / 75 h.p. to the top engine with 110 kW / 150 h.p..
VW offers to buy back new diesels if bans introduced
Thu, Mar 29 2018By Maria Sheahan FRANKFURT, Germany — Volkswagen will buy back new diesel cars if German cities ban them, it said on Thursday, seeking to reassure potential buyers and stem a plunge in sales of diesel vehicles. Europe's biggest automaker also said it would extend incentives for buyers of new diesel cars. The moves come after a German court ruled last month that cities in the country could ban the most polluting diesel vehicles from their streets. Many German cities exceed European Union limits on atmospheric nitrogen oxide, known to cause respiratory diseases. Fears of bans have led to a plunge in demand for diesel vehicles, which are also key to carmakers' attempts to meet new EU rules on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. While diesel cars are heavily criticized for emitting nitrogen oxide, they spew out less CO2 than gasoline equivalents. Diesel car sales plunged 19 percent in Germany last month. At its core VW brand, Volkswagen said its buyback offer applied to new diesels bought between April 1 and the end of 2018 and would kick in if the city in which the buyer lived or worked banned diesels within three years of the purchase. It said its dealerships would buy back diesel vehicles affected by bans at their current value if their owners at the same time bought a new vehicle that was not affected by cities' driving restrictions. At Czech brand Skoda, the guarantee applies to cars bought between April 1 and the end of June, but will cover bans introduced within four years of the purchase date. At premium brand Audi, the offer only covers leased vehicles. Volkswagen also said it was extending to the end of June incentives for customers trading in older diesels for new ones. Fellow German carmaker BMW said earlier this month it would offer to take back leased vehicles if diesels were banned within 100 kilometers (62 miles) of the operator's home or place of work. There has been a global backlash against diesel-engine cars since Volkswagen admitted in 2015 to cheating U.S. exhaust tests. But Germany's government is seeking to avoid widespread bans on heavily polluting diesel vehicles, which companies say could cut the resale value of up to 15 million vehicles in Europe's biggest car market. In Germany, where motorists expect to drive powerful cars on motorways with no speed limits, any restrictions will be unpopular.
European new car sales drop nearly 8% in first half of 2019
Thu, Jul 18 2019PARIS — European car sales dropped 7.9% in June, led by bigger declines for Nissan, Volvo and Fiat Chrysler (FCA), according to industry data published on Wednesday. Registrations fell to 1.49 million cars last month from 1.62 million a year earlier across the European Union and EFTA countries, the Brussels-based Association of European Carmakers said in a statement. Calendar effects resulted in two fewer sales days in most markets, accentuating the decline. Registrations for the first half closed 3.1% lower, ACEA said. For European carmakers, weakening demand at home compounds the pressure from a sharper contraction in China and emerging markets that may yet bring more profit warnings. NissanÂ’s aging model lineup contributed to a 26.6% June sales slump while Volvo Cars, owned by ChinaÂ’s Geely, saw deliveries tumble 21.7%. Registrations also fell 13.5% last month at FCA, 10.1% at BMW, 9.6% at Volkswagen Group and 8.2% for both Mercedes parent Daimler and FranceÂ’s PSA Group. The Peugeot makerÂ’s domestic rival Renault suffered less, posting a 3.9% decline. By the Numbers BMW Chrysler Fiat Nissan Volkswagen Volvo Peugeot Renault
