This is the "SE" which stands for the Sport Edition of the 2012 VW Jetta. What that means to a normal human is that it has a little more Horsepower and Ft-Lbs of torque than the regular model. The 184HP makes it fast and fun to drive, while still providing a VERY smooth and comfortable ride as a daily driver. This model of Jetta has an independent rear suspension which adds to the comfort while giving it a sporty feel to drive; all of this is common to German/European made sports sedans (similar to BMW and Audi). Other than how it drives, the vehicle is also equipped with lots of added equipment to aid in a comfortable ride. It comes with all the standard equipment which I wont bore you with (airbags, AM/FM, CD Player, AC, Power windows, etc...) but also includes things such as; Upgraded premium sound system which includes 4 Bose speakers and a 10" sub that are stock and prewired. Upgraded premium 17" wheels. Heated seats -Let me tell you what, those heated seats come in handy on a cold January morning when all you want to do is drive to work, but you feel like you are about to suffer hypothermia due to the temperature. Bluetooth radio which allows you to play music through the radio with no cords or anything to clutter up the console. Handsfree audio which lets you push a button on the steering wheel and make a request such as "Call mom," or "Text Taylor I'm running late!" The A/C blows cold as ice for this scorching summer heat we have right now (in Texas at least). It is also equipped with XM Satellite radio capability if you wanted to partake in that (which is super nice if you travel a lot). I do a mix of city and highway driving (65% highway and 35% city) and I have averaged 30.6 MPGs since I have owned the car. (Yes I keep a spreadsheet of my gas mileage, dont judge me). It gets about 28 in the city and 32-34 on the highway.
Mechanically this car is without a doubt as good as it gets. As far as problems mechanically, the biggest problem I have had is the fuse for the windshield sprayer went out and had to be replaced ($8 repair). I am the second owner of the car and when I purchased it we had a 144-point used car inspection done at the Volkswagen dealership in Dallas. They check all exterior and interior aspects of the car, from the transmission/engine and brakes all the way to the A/C and electrical system, and the car passed with flying colors. She is always quick to turn on and runs beautifully. I really love any opportunity I have to get out just because it is such a fun car to drive!
Preventive Maintenance: The car was under warranty for the first 3 years and was serviced every 6 months or 6,000 miles, which ever came first, but that just ended unfortunately a couple months ago. If needed I can acquire the paperwork from the dealership showing those services took place. Also, the current mileage is 36,XXX but is a daily driver so will go up a little. Past that, there have been many things done to it. The car recommends a Full Synthetic (0W-40) oil change every 12,000 miles, but I had one done every 8,000 to assure engine cleanliness and it also helps keep the gas mileage up. Last oil change was done 60 miles ago. Just FYI those cost $90 at the dealership, $60 most other places, and about $35 if you do them yourself. The car has never needed an alignment, but I felt more comfortable making sure so I took it in at 35,000 miles for an alignment and the shop made some minor adjustments but said she was in perfect shape. Obviously washed and cleaned regularly. The biggest thing that has been done thus far is the new set of tires that were put on it about 500 miles ago. The factory tires were not that great and the tread wore quickly. I could have gotten about 10,000 more miles out of them, but I did not feel like it was very good for the car, so I went ahead and got her some new shoes. The car has a brand new set of Michelin Defender tires (the best tire on the market for this size). The tires include a road hazard warranty from Discount Tire which covers anything that you could do wrong to them (potholes, curbs, nails, or literally anything that pops the tire). As well as free rotations, valve stems and balancing for the life of the tires. The biggest thing with them is that they have a 90,000 mile warranty, so if they run below 3/32" of tread before 90,000 you get a portion of the money back on them. The peace of mind with these tires made them worth the money ($697). Title Issues: This is the part you have been waiting for. "Why is this great car so cheap?" I'm sure you have been asking yourself. Unfortunately, the car was in a bad hail storm before I purchased the car last year. It was left outside during a bad storm last winter somewhere in the Kansas I believe and it took quite a beating. The car has noticeable hail damage along the passenger side, hood, roof, and trunk. As an honest seller I'm not going to try and pawn it off as "just a small thing," because it is noticeable. The idiot who owned it before me decided to sell the car to the insurance agency and get a new one rather than just have it fixed, and for that reason they tattooed my baby with a rebuilt title (although it wasn't rebuilt so it should not have one). I have fought to have it changed but I haven't been able too. I bought the car with no intention of fixing the damage just because the car still looks great and drives like a dream. It is priced with plenty of room to get it fixed, but if you are looking for a great driving and still great looking car for an amazing price, well you have found your deal then. I have had estimates that ranged from $2500-$3500 on getting it fixed just depending on who you go to.
Summary: This car is a steal of a deal on the price, and is going to drive for another 100,000 miles without any mechanical problems. It has been cared for like a baby and treated like one behind the wheel. If you are a budget shopper looking to get the best deal for the money, this is a great car for you.

Please call my cell phone (Clint - 469-500-6305) if you have any more questions or would like to see it in person! Thanks for your time and have a blessed day! P.S. Please disregard my seller rating, I had to create a new account and lost years of hard work due to identity theft. You can read my other ratings here: http://www.ebay.com/usr/ct2the3 |

10 automakers sued over keyless ignitions
Thu, Aug 27 2015Keyless ignition has rapidly proliferated throughout the auto industry to become a fairly normal feature on new cars. It's supposed to offer the convenience of keeping the fob in your pocket and just pressing a button to drive away. However, ten major automakers are now being sued in US District Court over claims that the system is dangerous, Reuters reports. The suit alleges that people are forgetting to shut off the engine, and the lack of an idle timer is the cause for 13 deaths by carbon monoxide poisoning and multiple injuries. The suit currently includes 28 plaintiffs, according to Reuters, but the lawyers are asking for class-action status to potentially add many more. The case goes after a major swath of the industry, including BMW, Daimler, FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen, plus their related brands like Acura, Infiniti, Mini, and Lexus. In all, over five million vehicles are affected. The assertion here is that people walk away from their vehicle without shutting it off because they believe the engine shuts off automatically. If parked in a garage, carbon monoxide can build up, leading to poisoning. The lawyers claim automakers know this is a problem and also cite 27 complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the issue, according to Reuters. The plaintiffs are asking for an automatic shut-off and damages from the companies. These concerns have come up before, though. Toyota previously faced a lawsuit over a carbon monoxide death after a woman accidentally left her Lexus running. Also earlier this year, GM recalled 64,186 examples of the 2011-2013 Chevrolet Volt because owners weren't shutting them off. The problem resulted in two injuries, and the company released a software update to limit the idling time.
Winterkorn vacates chairs on Audi, Truck & Bus boards
Thu, Nov 12 2015The last remaining vestiges of Martin Winterkorn's power within the Volkswagen Group are slowly melting away. The former chairman of the group's management board resigned as CEO nearly two months ago in the wake of the diesel emissions scandal. He held onto other roles within the group, but one by one he's been vacating those as well. Last month Winterkorn resigned from his role at Porsche SE – Volkswagen's largest shareholder. Now the latest development comes from Bloomberg, which reports that Winterkorn has stepped down from his role as chairman of the supervisory board at Audi. Prior to his promotion to run the entire group, Winterkorn served as chief executive of the Audi division, and prior to his resignation served continued to serve as its board chairman. No date was given for his resignation from that capacity, nor any successor named at this point. Repeated requests for clarification from Audi have gone unanswered. In correspondence with Autoblog, however, spokespeople for VW's commercial vehicle operations confirmed that Winterkorn has also stepped down as the chairman of the board at Truck & Bus GmbH. The newly established division encompasses truck manufacturers Man and Scania. Winterkorn also served as chairman of Scania's board, but requests for confirmation of his departure from that role also went unanswered. The Swedish truck manufacturer, however, named Henrik Henriksson as its a new chief executive only a few days ago.
