Upgraded to a newer car, so the old daily driver is for sale.

Car is a 2003 Jetta GLS 1.8T with Sport Package
-135,000 miles
-Platinum Gray
-5 Speed Automatic with Tiptronic
-Heated Seats
-Black Cloth Interior
-Sunroof/Moonroof
-Monsoon Stereo
-Owners Manual as well as all 3 keys in hand
-Monster Mats (rubber) as well as cloth mats included

I have installed a couple of cosmetic items which include:
-Smoked GLI tail lamps
-Smoked front side markers and turn signals
-GTI 3 spoke steering wheel
-Steering column mounted boost gauge (see pictures)

Timing belt was done at 113,000 miles. At that time, water pump, cam seals, crank seal, valve cover gasket, and cam adjuster seals were all replaced. The engine does not leak a drop of oil.

Car will come with stock 17 inch wheels with summer tires on them, as well as a set of 15 inch snow tires on separate wheels, obviously. The snows are currently on the car, have very few miles on them, and are virtually brand new. (See pictures) Summer tires are Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric (225/45/17) with about 60-70% tread remaining. Snows are General Altimax Arctic (195/65/15).

Car has GIAC software which was done locally by AWE tuning. Software has only been in the car for a few months. Receipt is in the car, as well as the hand held program switcher. You can switch it back to the stock tune if you want to for some reason.

Car will come with a fresh PA state inspection, good til 12/2014

Some other items worth noting:
-Burns a minimal amount of oil. Been using Mobil 1 0w/40 and Mann filters and car only uses about 1/2 quart between 5000 oil changes. High oil consumption is common with neglected 1.8T's, but this is not one of them.
-All transmission solenoids were replaced about a year ago. This is a common 5 speed automatic 09A issue. Can cause delayed engagement of drive and or reverse, as well as a number of no or harsh shift issues while you are driving. All solenoids were replaced (I think there are 9 total) and the fluid was changed at the same time using factory VW fluid. Transmission works great, with no issues.
-I replaced the driver's seat bottom foam and upholstery (which includes the seat heater element) a few years ago. That means the upholstery on the driver's seat is in excellent condition with no rips, tears or other damage, which is also common with these cars. Seat heater also works great.

The only issues with the car are a minor leak from the passenger side axle seal, and some cosmetic damage to the car. The worst of the damage is a minor scrape on the right rear wheel arch area, and some deeper scratches on the rear bumper. Take a look at the pictures, nothing major here.

Car has been well cared for and hopefully will find a great new home. Again, only reason for selling is that I purchased a newer Jetta Sportwagen because I needed the additional room for hauling stuff. Not trying to hide anything. If you have any questions, just ask.

If you want to make arrangements to come and take a look at the car, please don't wait until the last minute before doing to. I will do what I can to help. I am also willing to help with pickup of the car if you need it, as in picking you up as long as it is a reasonable distance. I will not deliver the car to your doorstep. Ask me and we can figure something out.

Buyer is responsible for fees associated with transfer of the car into your name, which includes anything like title and registration fees.

Skoda's next concept is a 300-mile electric SUV

Wed, Mar 29 2017

If you thought Volkswagen wasn't serious about electric vehicles, think again. Its subsidiary Skoda will reveal an electric SUV concept called the Vision E at the Shanghai auto show in a few weeks. Not only is it the fourth all-electric concept shown by the VW group (following the I.D., I.D. Buzz, and Sedric), but it previews the electrified future of Skoda, which announced that it will have five pure EVs in its lineup by 2025. The Vision E is just as impressive as the company's electric ambitions, too. It boasts a roughly 310-mile range on a charge, and packs a motor that makes about 300 horsepower. The car will be capable of level 3 autonomy, which will allow it to operate autonomously on highways, in stop-and-go traffic, and to find parking spaces. Its top speed isn't amazing at around 111 mph, but it isn't a sports car. Rather, it's an "SUV coupe" similar to the BMW X6 and Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe. As such it has a more sedan-like back. The styling is also unique with full-width headlights and foglights, and another lighting element that extends from the front fender down the doors. The only obviously Skoda styling cue is the bulge down the center of the hood. The Vision E is also similar to the X6 and GLC Coupe in other ways. Its specs are quite close to those crossovers, particularly the Mercedes. It's a few inches shorter than the GLC Coupe, but it's an inch wider. It also makes the same amount of horsepower as the entry-level X6 and outguns the Mercedes by an impressive 59 horsepower. Of course, these are figures currently only projected and hypothetical since the Vision E is a concept, but it helps us get an idea of what this vehicle is like. So far, Skoda has only released sketches of the concept. We'll have to wait until the Shanghai show to see the real thing. Related Video:

Volkswagen, Bosch reach diesel settlement worth $1.6 billion

Wed, Feb 1 2017

Volkswagen Group of America and automotive parts maker Bosch reached a settlement in which the two companies will pay a combined $1.6 billion because of their roles in the automaker's diesel-emissions scandal. VW, Europe's largest automaker, will pay about $1.2 billion to either repair or buy back vehicles. Bosch said separately that it will pay more than $300 million to owners of diesel-powered Volkswagens, Audis, and Porsches. The settlement stems from emissions issues related to about 78,000 VW-made cars and SUVs with 3.0-liter V6 diesel engines that were sold in North America. VW will recall and repair about 58,000 vehicles made for the 2013-through-2016 model years. The company will also buy back, offer a trade-in credit, or terminate the leases for about 20,000 cars for the model years 2009 through 2012. The older impacted models are the Volkswagen Touareg and Audi Q7, while the newer ones are the Touareg and Q7 as well as Audi's A6, A7, A8, A8L, and Q5 models, and finally the Porsche Cayenne Diesel. Previous reports estimated the payout at closer to $1 billion. The US settlement follows one reached last year between VW and US regulators in regards to VW's 2.0-liter diesel engines. That settlement was estimated to cost VW about $15 billion and impacted owners of about 500,000 vehicles. VW has had a stop-sale on its diesel vehicles in the US since late 2015 after it was discovered that VW installed software in its diesels that allowed those vehicles to cheat emissions-testing systems. VW on Wednesday also reiterated that it would contribute $225 million towards environmental-remediation efforts in the US. Volkswagen of America CEO Hinrich J. Woebcken, in Wednesday's statement, said that "we will continue to work to earn back the trust of all our stakeholders and thank our customers and dealers for their continued patience as this process moves forward."
