Hello. Up for grabs is my beloved Jetta. It is a low mileage, Mk1 turbo diesel four door that runs and drives great. It has factory air (more on that) and CRUISE CONTROL!
I have about $6k tied up in it but I am realistic and know I can't get that back out of it.
Let me get this put of the way first: I REQUIRE a $500 NON REFUNDABLE deposit at auction end via Paypal. No if, ands, or buts. I will accept postal money orders or cash. NO personal checks.
I have taken this Jetta on about 25k miles worth of road trips since I got it and never been stranded. September of 2011 I drove it a total of about 4500 miles on a Yellowstone trip and averaged 42mpg for the duration. That is with myself, a friend, and loaded with camping gear. I routinely get 38-42MPG in town out of it depending on how I drive and outside temp, etc. And I get 50-54mpg highway without trying very hard and my best ever highway tank has been 56.7mpg (cruising back from DFW doing 55-80 depending on traffic and my attentiveness).
Please understand that this car is not a speed demon, by any stretch of the imagination, and it is an old diesel. It can not handle super high RPMs for long durations without risking snapping the timing belt or other problems. (At least not without being rebuilt with abuse in mind).
Anyways, the car, now.
What's Awesome:
*1984 Mk1 Jetta GL Turbo Diesel
*151.6k original miles
*5 speed manual transmission
*New clutch cable replaced by me
*Newish windshield (replaced by previous owner)
*Newish front left cv axle (replaced by previous owner)
*Newish headliner (replaced by previous owner)
*Newish radiator (replaced by previous owner)
*Newer bright headlamps. More natural color tint and very very bright (not blue or purple or white. Just less yellow and brighter)
*Both front struts have been replaced, by me, in the past year with Sachs Super Touring Oil Pressure inserts. They are really nice :)
*Replacement coolant reservoir (by me, original cracked)
*Replacement Y coolant hose that runs from radiator, block, and oil cooler.
*Brake overhaul in the past year by me.
*New shift linkage (replaced by me)
*Newish heater core (replaced by previous owner)
*Factory AC!
*I believe factory cruise control!
*I'm including an unused, $550 SVO conversion kit from greenconversionDOTnet/wvo! I never got around to installing this. So if you are wanting a diesel to turn into a veggie oil burner, this is prepackaged for it ;)
*Comes with 60k mile Michelin's that are at least 50-70% left.
*Comes with a replacement CD AM/FM radio that is passable... It works fine, the cars speakers all sound fantastic, but it clashes with the rest of the car plus it doesn't fit in real well. Previous owner did this. I had/have plans on replacing it eventually.
*Everything electronic works - rear defroster, all lights, dome light, dash light, accessories socket, windshield wipers, all speakers, glow plugs
*Seats are all in fantastic condition. Interior trim is mostly in fantastic condition (the driver door pockets and speaker covers have some cracks), the dash is in fantastic condition (the foam between the pieces is poking out and I haven't taken the time to fix is... I'm apparently a bit lazy).
*Replacement rims that are one size larger than factory.
*It has had new oil/fuel/airfilters put on it as well as an oil change in the last 3 months.
*Windows have, I believe, 80% tint. So not super dark but just enough. The previous owner had it done and they are very well tinted. I forgot about this.
What's Not Awesome:
*Injector pump is leaking and needs a rebuild. This JUST started happening in the past month. Car still runs fine, just seeping around the top seal on the pump.
*Factory AC needs work. It works when you fill it up but the coolant leaks out. I haven't spent the time or money to get it fixed yet. But the compressor itself worked fine when I got it and still kicks over and cools when you add a bottle. So it should be fine.
*The cruise control needs a little work. At times it functions 100% correctly and is amazing on road trips, at other times it just randomly disengages. I haven't really messed with that yet, either.
*It is a 29 year old car and as such it has it's fair share of minor dings and some scratches. Nothing major and it has NEVER been in a wreck. It has some very light surface rust in a few of the dinged areas but no other rust issues. The bottom of the car is rust free.
*The muffler has a big ol' hole in it and I broke out the baffles because they were vibrating and annoying me. I will probably get the muffler removed soon. The car sounds great without it (it has a resonator (factory!) further up the exhaust) and I do not see this as an issue.
*The syncro's for first gear are worn. This isn't my doing, I assure you :) Previous owner used it as a daily driver in Charlotte, NC, and it got some abuse. First gear does fine if you are stopped or almost stopped or the transmission is fully warmed up. Otherwise it will try grinding. Unless I am completely stopped (and it wont grind anyways), or going up a steep incline, I generally just use 2nd gear anyways.
*The driver seat is showing some wear but it has no rips or tears.
*I have the original rims with tires still on them but I forget why the previous owner swapped them out. I think one of them is warped slightly? I do not remember, but they come with the car.
Well, that is everything I can think of at the moment. I will be cleaning the car out completely over the next few days and giving it a good washing. It does seep oil out of various orifices as a 30 year old cranky small diesel is wont to do, but it does not use oil at any appreciable speed. It will need a timing belt in the next 10-20k miles.
If you have any questions, please feel free to message me or send a text message to (256) 346-EIGHTfiveEIGHTthree ... This number is ONLY good for texts.

VW recalling 2.64M vehicles worldwide over engine, light issues
Thu, 14 Nov 2013Volkswagen is staging a massive, worldwide recall that's already grown from 1.68 million to 2.64 million vehicles and covers three different issues across a number of vehicles. We already reported on 61,000 Tiguans getting recalled over lighting issues - that was just in the US. Globally, however, VW will be recalling 800,000 Tiguans, according to Automotive News, with the focus on CUVs built between 2008 and 2011. The issue with the Tiguan relates to a simple fuse swap, so this is rather unremarkable, aside from the sheer number of vehicles being fixed. The real, troubling issues relate to gearboxes and pickups.
239,000 Amarok pickups (pictured right) are being recalled over fuel leaks, while 1.6 million vehicles are being recalled to swap the synthetic oil in dual-clutch transmissions with mineral oil. Now, the transmission issue is one for the global Volkswagen Group to address, not just the VW brand - vehicles from Audi, Škoda and Seat use the same seven-speed DSG and are covered under the recall, as well.
Why the switch from synthetic to mineral oil? Apparently, using the synthetic oil in a DSG and then subjecting it to stop-and-go conditions or heavy loads in a hot and humid climate can lead to electronic malfunctions, according to a Volkswagen press release. The switch, from the sounds of it, is largely a preventative measure.

Byron then talks about his time with two very different new vehicles: the 2021 Buick Envision luxury crossover and the 2021 Hyundai Sonata N Line, which may or may not be a sport sedan.

Recharge Wrap-up: Smart Fortwo engine fires, Tesla finalist for Extole Advocacy and Customer Experience award
Thu, Dec 22 2016NHTSA has launched a preliminary investigation into complaints of Smart Fortwo engine fires. So far, the agency has received eight complaints about the rear engine compartment catching fire in model year 2008 and 2009 Fortwos and quickly engulfing the car. Six of the fires occurred while driving and were preceded by a check engine light. "The safety of our customers is our primary concern, and we are cooperating with NHTSA in its inquiry," says parent company Mercedes-Benz. "We are not aware of any injuries related to this inquiry." Read more from Automotive News. Volkswagen will pay $1.6 billion (US) in Canada as part of a settlement of its diesel emissions scandal. The funds will be used to fix or buy back some 105,000 affected cars, compensate owners between $3,815 and $4,451 above the buyback price, and pay a $11.2 million civil fine. So far, VW has agreed to spend over $18 billion in North America in connection with its diesel emissions cheating, and is expected to settle on a resolution of its 3.0-liter diesel vehicles in the US soon. Read more at Hybrid Cars, or from Automotive News. Tesla is one of three finalists for the Extole Advocacy and Customer Experience Award. The award recognizes companies that turn customers into brand advocates through referral programs. In Tesla's current program, customers who buy a car using a referral link get $1,000 off the price of their car, while referring owners are awarded prizes including a signed Powerwall 2 and invitations to unveiling events. Referring owners are also entered into a drawing to win a Model S or Model X. "With a disdain for paid advertising, Tesla Motors is leading the trend of reaching new customers through existing ones," says Extole. The other finalists are Hanna Andersson and Ulta Beauty.
