2003 Vw Jetta Vr6 2.8l - Arizona Car - 6 Spd Manual on 2040-cars

Year:2003 Mileage:130800
Location:

Glendale, Arizona, United States

Glendale, Arizona, United States

We are selling our 2003 Volkswagen Jetta VR6 2.8L, 6 spd manual with 130k miles on it.  The vehicle is not running.  It looks as though it blew the head gasket.  It has new tires and a new battery not even a month old.  The radio has been removed and you can install whatever sound system you would like.

This is an Arizona car, which are highly desirable since we don’t go through the harsh winters - salted roads, rust and corrosion issues are not a problem for us. 

The Jetta is black with a black interior, it is a very sharp car and in good condition considering its age.

I’m selling it as is and giving the opportunity for someone to do the repairs necessary to end up with a really nice car at a good deal.  The current book value is $5900 and I have included an image of the book sheet for you to verify.  

I’ve got many projects that I want to get to and this VW is down my list of priorities right now.  Not to mention its 100+ degrees and I really don’t want to do the repairs in this heat.  If it does not sell now I’m okay with keeping it and doing the repairs when the weather cools off.   This is an incredible opportunity for you to own a highly desirable AZ car at a fraction of it's actual value.

Please expect to either replace the head with a rebuilt one or rebuilding the current head – but it would be foolish not to do this since it will be off anyways.  My assumption at this point, not having the motor torn down, is that the head, head gasket and new fluids should get this beautiful car back on the road.  Again, this is an assumption since I have not taken the topside of this motor a part yet to verify exactly what is necessary.  Regardless, at this low reserve price, whatever is necessary even up to replacing the entire motor will leave you in a good position value wise to what you are paying now.   

There are your typical dings & scratches which are to be expected with a vehicle of this age.  There is a tear in the drivers seat which I have shown in the pictures.  Please understand, this is a 2003 vehicle and you should expect the typical wear and tear that you would see on a car that's 11 years old.  If you need more pictures, please ask for them.  If you need more information about the car, please ask before you bid.

Please understand that you are responsible for shipping this car in its present non-running condition.  You need to make arrangements with your transportation company and make them aware of this. 

The Jetta is advertised locally and I do reserve the right to sell it outside of this auction at any time and cancel this auction.

A $500 deposit is required within 24 hours of completion of this auction.  The balance can easily be handled with a bank wire transfer, a certified bank cashiers check or in cash if you live local and plan on picking it up yourself.  The vehicle must be paid for in full within 7 days of the completed auction and before the vehicle will be released to its new owner.

2015 Volkswagen Golf R [w/video]

Mon, Nov 24 2014

Volkswagen hired a photographer to come shoot the handful of journalists that it brought to drive the 2015 Golf R at Buttonwillow Raceway north of Los Angeles. This fact, though unremarkable in and of itself, was something I hadn't noticed until I was well into my track time – probably ten laps deep on a day that would see me run twice that number. In any event, I noticed the intrepid shooter as he was sprinting from one side of the track to the other somewhere before Turn 2, while I was barreling down the main straightaway, still looking through Turn 1. In the roughly two-mile configuration of the track that I drove, Buttonwillow is a big, wide-open circuit, largely flat and with excellent overall visibility. On that layout, and just hours into my Golf R experience, I'd already become confident in endeavoring to push the limits of VW's latest blistering hatch. In fact, the easy nature of driving the thing quickly had me overestimating my pace. So when I saw the photog sprint across the tarmac I instinctively slowed way too much, way too early for Turn 1. Looking back at the incident after I'd pitted for the session, I laughed at myself, knowing I'd have had to be driving almost double my actual speed to put the camera guy in any real danger of being hit. But the experience crystallized what my full test of the R bore out: this is a car that makes you feel much faster than you otherwise would, at least in a competition setting. The 2015 Golf R is an uber hatch that will flatter those hyper-enthusiasts passionate enough to splash out on its steep price tag, but without threatening sales of core models like the GTI and its ilk. That's a good thing for the VW fanboys, to be sure, and, I'd argue, a great thing for the strength of the German brand overall. {C} The R felt both placid and comfortable while I clicked off highway miles in search of the racetrack. My test in California had at least two things in common with the First Drive feature that Steve Ewing brought us with the Golf R in Sweden. First, we both drove European specification cars (though mine didn't suffer from the same sticker abuse that Steve's did). Second, we were both somewhat limited in terms of driving the car in varied, real-world situations. My street route consisted almost entirely of tracking California's I-5 north out of Los Angeles; which any Angelino will tell you is a less-than-riveting mode of travel.

VW Super Bowl teaser with Jimmy Cliff is like a less-mean Tosh.0 Web Redemption

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Reggae super-duper-star and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jimmy Cliff has been using music to send positive vibes out into the universe for decades now, so its no surprise that his message on behalf of Volkswagen is one of redemption.
Dubbed Sunny Side, this web-spot is VW's warmup of sorts for what promises to be another blockbuster year in the world of Super Bowl commercials. Without giving away the game, the euphonious commercial sees Cliff opening his arms and his heart to some YouTube 'celebrities' that might see courser treatment from the likes of Tosh.0, for instance. We can't help but be reminded of Coca-Cola's legendary 1971 Hilltop spot with the "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" lyric, too.
Enjoy the pre-Super Bowl VW spot below, and don't forget to pay it forward... your karma will thank you. For those of you that just can't get enough of commercial-making magic, we've included a "making-of" video, as well.

Bosch fuel pumps spark recall of 2015 Golf, GTI and Audi A3

Tue, Apr 28 2015

A few weeks ago, BMW and Nissan both issued recalls for some of their vehicles to replace Bosch-supplied fuel pumps. The pumps had nickel plating that could flake off and cause a failure. Volkswagen Group is the latest automaker to be affected by the problem and has a campaign for the 2015 Audi A3, VW Golf and GTI. In total, 6,204 units of these models are in need of repair. The problem with the VW Group vehicles is identical to the previous recalls. It's possible for the pump's nickel plating to come off and cause increased friction. Eventually, this can result in the component's failure. According to documents from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF, here), there are no reports of accidents or injuries from this issue in the VW Group models. Bosch spokesperson Linda Beckmeyer tells Autoblog that these vehicles don't all necessary share an identical fuel pump, but the parts all use the same plating process. The problem also prompted repairs of the 2014 Ford Escape several months ago, she indicated. When asked if the issue could prompt more campaigns, Beckmeyer said that she "can't speak to that" because automakers decide on the recalls. Owners should receive notice of the problem soon, but according to the NHTSA documentation, there currently aren't enough pumps to fix all of these vehicles. "Bosch is working closely with automakers regarding replacement parts," Beckmeyer said. When available, dealers will replace the components free of charge for affected customers.

SUMMARY: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2015 Volkswagen Golf, GTI, and Audi A3 vehicles. Improper nickel plating of components within the fuel pump may result in the fuel pump failing. CONSEQUENCE: If the fuel pump fails, the vehicle will not start, or if the engine is running, it will stop and the vehicle will stall, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles and replace any affected fuel pumps, free of charge.
