Hi, this listing is for a used 1997 jetta with 162,423 miles that needs work but runs and drives. I bought it last year on ebay needing work and most of it has been done, there are some minor things that need to be done but you can drive it while you fix it. The only reason I'm selling it is because my son gave me his car this week after he got a newer one from the dealer, otherwise Id still be driving this everyday. White exterior, tan interior with automatic transmission and manual locks/windows. There is a moonroof but it isn't working, didn't get to that, might be a fuse. When I got the car it needed a door lock actuator, muffler and brake work which I did. I put in a drivers side door lock actuator, door closes good. Installed a middle muffler and then on the right rear- brake shoes, hardware, brake cylinder and inner and outer wheel bearings. I have receipts for all that I did from autozone, the rest I got on ebay. Ive driven it every day and was just at inspection where it needed some small things still to pass. Everything was good except for the right front strut mount, washer fluid hose partially missing and license plate lights also. I bought the license plate light holders and put those in with new bulbs already. You need to still do the following: bleed the brakes, work but kind of light. Install the right front strut mount and get a hose for the washer fluid. There is some antifreeze that started to leak lately and temp sometimes goes up, gauges go weird at times so might be a speed sensor. Ive had to refill the antifreeze often lately so I just put a new thermostat in thinking it was that but that's not the issue. I was going to sell this for parts but its a waste being that I repaired a lot and its road worthy, you just need a weekend to finish the rest. Transmission shifts late sometimes but i think it just needs fluid, this car doesn't have a transmission fluid dipstick and its filled from under the car. Jiffy lube couldnt get the cap off In fear of breaking the cap but if you add fluid they said the shifting with smooth out on its own. Check my feedback and bid with confidence, I don't sell junk or misrepresent my items. Any questions please email me before you bid. Yes you can drive it home, it starts everytime but might want to tow if youre uncomfortable with antifreeze leak. It only leaks from the coolant tank that holds the extra fluid, nowhere else. I will give you the repair manual, extra key blank and a clean title. For parts I have the brake hardware for the left rear new, strut mount new and the door for the gas. Gas well has rust but they sell Bondo with a metal blend so it will fill that with no problem. There is touch up paint and scratches all over the car, dents all around so please expect wear. The previous owner didn't have a gas cover so I ordered one, add some bondo and then put two screws, not hard. Im only listing this once whole, if it doesn't sell I will part it out. The whole car has dents and dings around, expect it for the age and are in the pictures. All 4 tires are almost new with plenty of tread, radio has a cd player made by DUAL and has a port for usb or to play music through it with your phone or ipod. I plug my phone in and stream youtube through the radio but drivers door speaker not sound, rugs are a little dirty, all lights work.Good luck! Please keep in mind that this 97, is used and needs work, expect wear and tear, just put new hub caps on.

Hyundai tops VW and Buick in China, survey says

Wed, Apr 15 2015

You may be aware of the long-time competition in China between Volkswagen and Buick, but another brand apparently should be in that conversation too: Hyundai. In a recently published annual consumer survey, the Korean company actually took the top spot to beat out its German and American rivals in second and third, respectively. The results were part of the China Brand Power Index that interviewed 11,500 people around the nation and was paid for by the country's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. While Hyundai proved popular with voters, its sales haven't necessarily shown that yet. According to Bloomberg, the brand had falling numbers in China for the first quarter of the year. Even Ford outsold the South Korean automaker in the same period, despite scoring lower on the survey. Meanwhile, Audi ranked as the populace's favorite luxury brand, which is hardly a surprise given the Four Rings' strong sales in China. In January alone the automaker saw a 15-percent boost in volume there. Parent company VW's strong performance was somewhat more surprising, though. State media severely criticized the German automaker in March, and customers protested last year for the allegedly poor handling of a recall.

China sticking to its guns on EVs for the future

Mon, Apr 27 2015

Automakers are obviously free to develop whatever next-gen, zero-emissions tech that they want. However, if a company wants to get on the good side of the Chinese government, that strategy better include some plug-in vehicles. The authorities there are lending major support to plug-ins at the moment, and its forcing the auto industry to play along. According to Bloomberg, Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai, and BMW are all launching dedicated EV brands with their joint venture partners, and as many as 40 electric models could hit the Chinese market this year alone. However, analysts don't think the vehicles are going to sell well. Instead, the launches are essentially a way for companies to play nice with the government and help get the approval to build factories in the country. Take Toyota as an example. The company is pushing the future of hydrogen hard with promotional films for the Mirai and engineers talking down fast-charging EVs. Still, the Japanese automaker is getting ready to launch two EV brands in China with its joint venture partners, according to Bloomberg. China's push for alternative fuels has been happening for a while, but it really kicked into high gear last year. The government has set a goal to improve fleet-wide economy by 40 percent by the end of the decade in order to spend less importing oil and for the population's health. The plan has shown some success so far with hybrid and EV sales growing early in 2015.

Volkswagen officially grants access to UAW in Tennessee

Tue, Dec 9 2014

An audit at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN has revealed that at least 45 percent of the facility's workers support unionization, leading the German company to grant access rights to the United Auto Workers. This is a tremendous step in the UAW's long-running and at times contentious pursuit of the workforce at Chattanooga. With this latest move, "local leadership is ready to move forward with additional conversations with the company," the union said in a statement obtained by The Detroit News. "As a starting point, UAW Local 42 will take advantage of the company's offer to establish bi-weekly meetings with Volkswagen Human Resources and the Volkswagen Chattanooga Executive Committee." The News reports that UAW Secretary-Treasurer Gary Casteel, shown above speaking at the Chattanooga plant last summer, claimed these meetings "will remind Human Resources and the Chattanooga Executive Committee of the mutually agreed-upon commitments that were made by Volkswagen and the UAW last spring in Germany. Among those commitments: Volkswagen will recognize the UAW as the representative of our members. We believe Volkswagen made this commitment in good faith and we believe the company will honor this commitment." It's important to note that despite Casteel's remarks, this is not a collective-bargaining agreement, Harley Shaiken, a labor professor at University of California, Berkeley, told The News. "But it is a step in the direction of recognition, which ultimately could lead to collective bargaining. This is not the end point," Shaiken said. "We don't know what's next. We're in unchartered territory."
