2006 Vw Jetta Tdi 5-speed Manual Red Htd Seats New Body Style Mechanics Special on 2040-cars

US $2,975.00

Saint Louis, Missouri, United States

Car is located in suburban St. Louis, 11 miles east of the Arch.

Runs and drives but will need to tow.  Has low power and black smoke when warm. Exterior has a few dings and one small dent.  Paintless Dent Removal said all can be addressed.  A few scuffs on rear bumper.  Windshield cracked.  Interior is good with no rips or cracks.  Some wear on buttons.  Brake pad light on.

I bought this car to fix up for my daughter but thought it was a 5-speed automatic, when it is actually a 5-speed manual.  So I am selling it as I bought it.  I am disclosing everything I know about it.  But please keep in mind that I have only had it a few weeks and have limited knowledge.

This is a car that will can be made nice with some work.  I bought it with that in mind. 

This car is loaded, with sunroof, heated seats, leather, Satellite Radio, and most options.

It is definitely a mechanic's special as it has been diagnosed needing a new camshaft and O2 sensor, as well as front brake pads.  The camshaft replacement is necessary on most of these and the kit with bearings, lifters and cam is about $450.  The engine sounds good with no knocking. The job is about 4 hours with easy access in car for a mechanic.

Starts right up. I drove it a couple of miles and it drove well, except that it is low on power and put out black smoke after a bit of driving.  Clutch is fine.  Has had timing belt replaced.  But it has the common camshaft wear so it is low on power, per the shop.

I will be glad to cooperate with shipping but my price is firm.  Trying to get out what I have in it.  Clear title in hand.

VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad

Mon, 28 Jan 2013


Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.

Next Volkswagen Golf R to get 286 horsepower?

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't launched in the United States just yet, but we're already setting our sights on the range-topping R model. According to Autocar, the next Golf R will be more powerful than the current version, producing 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful production Golf ever.
Powering the new Golf R will be a further evolution of Volkswagen's well-liked 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, and when mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, the hotter hatch will reportedly be able to sprint to 62 miles per hour in five seconds flat. That's over half a second quicker than the current US-spec model.
Other updates for the new Golf R include the addition of VW's Haldex 5 all-wheel-drive system found in the latest iteration of 4Motion. Furthermore, thanks to the use of lightweight materials, the new R is expected to weigh in around 2,650 pounds - that's a massive 675 pounds less than the current US-spec car. The exhaust has reportedly been reworked to provide more aural delight, as well.

Former Porsche boss Wiedeking won't face criminal charges over VW bid

Mon, 28 Apr 2014

Hedge fund managers have been suing Porsche for years now, alleging that the car company lied about its intentions during its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen, a gambit that caused them billion in losses. Over the same period, authorities in Stuttgart built a criminal case against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above, left) and Chief Financial Officer Holger Härter (right), filing charges in December 2012. When those fund plaintiffs lost their most recent court case, one of the dimming lights in the dark and receding tunnel was that the criminal investigation might unearth more evidence about Porsche's actions that could help the plaintiffs in pending litigation.
Bloomberg reports that another light has gone out, though, with a Stuttgart court dismissing the market manipulation case before going to trial because, as a court spokesperson said, "there wasn't enough evidence backing up the charges." When prosecutors get the files back from the court, they have a week to decide to refile, but unless they've been sandbagging evidence that could bolster the case, the only lights at the end of the tunnel will be those welcoming Wiedeking and Härter back to the world of legally unencumbered men.
