You are looking at a 2006 VW JETTA TDI  169900 miles on it but currently driving this vehicle so this number may change within a few miles.   I purchased this Jetta to get it up to date and make it my daily driver for my work, but turns out the company I work for just purchased us new cars.  The car drives perfectly and is ready to go anywhere.  As you can see I have gone ahead and updated the the front clip with the GLI front (looks great) and replaced the headlights to headlights with Halo's and LED strips.  I will describe the car to the best of my ability, I have put a lot of money in repairs to get her 100% and should easily do 100,000 miles without any problems or any repairs.  If you have any questions please ask, I am a VW TDI fanatic, my wife owns an MK6 and I have always owned TDI's.  This is a great car, great future commuter car or just a great car to have a rare vehicle that looks like a real GLI but actually a TDI, you get the best of both worlds TDI MPG & GLI looks.  The 2005-2006 Jetta TDI's are the best TDI jetta's personally since they are Pre-DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) which reduces MPG significantly on the newer Jettas.  
The Good:

  • Upgraded GLI front end upgrade 
  • Upgraded Headlights with Halo's & LED strips
  • Taillights have been blacked out lightly to match the car 
  • Replaced marker lights to match sporty style
  • All tires are 80% tread. 
  • AC Blows very cold
  • Heated Seats work perfectly on both seats
  • Power Windows all work perfectly in all windows
  • Vehicle does not have a single leak (no engine, transmission oil leaks or coolant system leaks)
  • To get car ready for being my commuter car about 2 months ago I got the following work done (I have receipts)  
  • Water Pump, Timing Chain, Serpentine Belt, Oil Change, Fuel Filter, Air Filter, Cabin Air Filter, Alternator, Battery (still under warranty for 3 years), Front          Rotors & Brakes
  • 1 month ago I got the Clutch and flywheel assembly done since the flywheel started to make some noise.
  • I upgraded the stereo system to the Double-din Pioneer App radio, works great with iPhones via bluetooth or cables provided
  • Tinted windows 35% legal & window sticker certification
  • Paint & Body get a 9 out of 10 paint is in great condition and overall looks great, no chips or faded areas 
  • Interior get a 9.5 out of 10 looks great, all power buttons work, interior is very clean has original carpets, no tears and overall interior has been well maintained.
  • Vehicle recently passed NC inspection and has no lights on in the dash 

The Bad:

This vehicle was involved in a wreck, the car damage wasn't actually that bad, airbags did not deploy and  parts replaced included hood, radiator support & fenders and this was when I took the opportunity to upgrade the front clip to the GLI style Jetta MK5 front.  The original cooling system was used and actually A/C system was never discharged or recharged since none of these items were replaced or damaged.   The damage was mainly on the upper section of the hood, taking most of the impact from the wreck, vehicle did not have frame damage and currently does not have any type of damage and as you can see from the pictures does not look as if it ever had been in an accident.  I drive this car regularly and enjoy averaging about 50 MPG easily and vehicle does not shake at all, drives great overall unfortunately the vehicle was branded Salvage (to be honest unjustly).  I currently have it insured with GEICO and didn't have any issues getting it registered.  Overall I give the car a 8.5 out of 10 and the 1/2 point loss would be due to the salvage title.  This vehicle has always had the routine 10K miles service and 100K and recently 160K Timing belt and clutch/flywheel.  You will not be disappointed with this car and if you are looking for a dependable car, this car cannot be beat since currently its fully up to date on service.


If you have any questions please ask, I can pick up anyone from RDU (Raleigh-Durham Airport) and this vehicle can basically drive anywhere.  As previously stated I am only selling this car because I honestly am not driving it much and after all of the upgrades and repairs I have done to this car its ready to go on the road.  I require a $500 paypal deposit within 48 hours of purchase, only serious buyers, I will report fake or spoof buyers.  I can hold on to car as long as needed and if you need the vehicle shipped I can help with making arrangements for shipping or dropping off at nearest port.  The remaining balance will be required within 7 days via wire transfer or as soon as vehicle is picked up with a certified cashiers check or cash.  I have used eBay over 10+ years and I can try to help and work with you as best as I can, within reason.  
Happy Bidding and if you need any other information please feel free to let me know.  I will be uploading some more pictures of the car later in the week and if theres a picture in particular you would like feel free to let me know.

    Former chairman Piech opposing his nieces' VW board nominations

    Fri, May 1 2015

    Someone needs to option the rights to the Ferdinand Piech story for an HBO series, because it perfectly mixes the corporate intrigue of Mad Men with the family drama of The Sopranos. Plus there are some cool cars. In the latest episode, Piech isn't happy with Volkswagen's appointment of two of his nieces – Julia Kuhn-Piech and Dr. Louise Kiesling – to replace he and his wife on the automaker's supervisory board. The recently ousted chairman could try to stop them. According to German publication Bild, Piech thinks his two relatives lack the necessary automotive experience to serve on the board. Therefore, he suggests one-time Ford Premier Automotive Group boss Wolfgang Reitzle and former Siemens manager Brigitte Ederer to take the seats. However, a VW spokesperson told Automotive News Europe that there were no objections to the women's appointment, except for this story from Germany. Piech's nieces are already officially appointed to the VW supervisory board, and it's approved by the Braunschweig Local Court in Germany. His only real option to challenge them would be to file a lawsuit, according to Automotive News Europe. While the new appointees don't have their uncle's decades of history in the auto industry, they do have business experience. Dr. Kiesling has a degree in vehicle design from the Royal College of Art in London and is the managing director of an Austrian textile maker. Kuhn-Piech works in real estate sits on the supervisory board of German truck maker Man.

    Recharge Wrap-up: Smart Ready for Rent, MOIA comes to US in 2018

    Mon, Dec 12 2016

    Daimler is launching its "Smart Ready to Rent" service in Europe. Beginning this month in German and French cities, the rental scheme bridges the gap between short-term Car2go rentals and longer leases. Customers book the Smart model of their choice – including the emissions-free Electric Drive and the hotter Brabus versions – for a period of one day up to three months. As such, Smart Ready to Rent is useful to those who live outside of an urban center. Users can book a car online or through a dealer, and vehicles are collected and returned at the dealership.

The recently announced brand will take on public transportation as a competitor with services such as ride hailing and car sharing. VW is looking into forging partnerships with the likes of technology and ride sharing companies. The automaker also expects to show an electric shuttle-type concept in 2017 for pooling services, but will use the three-row VW Atlas crossover in the meantime until that concept reaches production. Look to see MOIA emerging in major cities along the US coasts. Read more at Automotive News. A new report from Lux Research suggests that most EV batteries are better off being recycled than reused. Once lithium-ion batteries have outlived their usefulness for automotive duty, some automakers (BMW, Nissan, and Toyota included) are looking at ways to use their remaining capacity, such as for stationary energy storage. The new report, though, says that reusing batteries offers "questionable returns on account of reduced performance." Better to be like Tesla, and just recycle them. Read more at Hybrid Cars.

    Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki

    Tue, 02 Oct 2012

    Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
    The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
    This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.
