 2001 Volkswagen Jetta 1.8T Wolfsburg Edition
170,000 Miles, 5 speed manual transmission
Located in Brewster, NY - Sold AS IS!

I'm the original owner of this car, and it's been sitting around since November when I bought a new car.  She starts up for me every week and I take her for a spin on the highway for a few miles and back.  Major repairs that I recall include a new clutch @ 140k, and a timing chain controller about 2 years ago (this was expensive). In the last year I had some exhaust work done and an o2 sensor replaced to pass inspection.  She blew a coil pack on me last november which was replaced, but meh, I decided to replace her.  The car runs fine, bring your plates and drive her home!

Great for:
College Kid Crowd - Great gas mileage for those long journeys to Buffalo & Oswego etc.
Commuters/Train Station People - She's cheap on the wallet and always starts up in the cold.
Gearheads - Stock Wolfsburg, Germany built 1.8 turbo 4 is quick and easy to upgrade.
Newbs - Learn to drive stick this summer and impress the girls!

Here's a list of items and issues that come to mind with this car:
The Good:
- The engine still runs strong at 170k miles and the turbo is healthy. Acceleration is quick and has no problems driving in left lanes.
- It's very reliable. It has always started for me. I did have to replace the alternator once, but I simply pushed it down a hill to get it started that day.
- I put a Kenwood CD/USB receiver in a few years ago. It sounds pretty good but I still have the OEM cassette deck if you want it.
- Gas mileage is around 30mpg.

The Bad:
- Those lights on the dashboard pic have been lit for a few years now. The car passes inspection without a problem.
- The cruise control doesn't work. I think because of the lights mentioned above.
- The ebrake is inconsistent and thus unreliable for use on steep hills. It's fine for non-steep hills when also leaving the car in gear. I keep getting it tightened but i guess it needs better fixing.
- The sunroof electronics are broken. I like my sunroof and used it a lot. Then it just stopped working one day. I guess this is common because VW includes a handy allen wrench in the car so you can open/close it manually!
- When the car is parked on an incline and it rains really hard there is a leak somewhere over the gas/brake pedals.  I had the drains cleaned once, but it didnt seem to help, so I put a small bucket under the pedals if i'm parking on a hill and it's gonna rain.
- There is a small coolant leak.  I'm not sure of the source but it seems to have started since I've not been driving her much.
- The tires seem to loose air a bit.  You will want to get this checked out.  The tires are not punctured, but the rims are a bit corroded.  I've keep a small air compressor in the glove box.
- Alignment is a bit wonky, might need new front tires.  Rear tires are still fine.  Michelins too.

The Ugly:
- The interior is pretty haggard. It's been on a lot of long trips and things like the glove box latch and arm rest are broken (you can still open the glove box, not to worry).
- The front driver side spoiler is cracked a bit. I never got around to repairing this, you could fix it or just pull the thing off.
- The front hood has some paint chips.

**Please note** My apologies but I am not a mechanic.  I am just a regular guy selling his car and looking for an easy transaction.  I am providing as much information as I can so that you can make an informed and educated buying decision.  I have listed what I know to be wrong with the car.  It's possible there are other things wrong that I'm not aware of.  I highly suggest all bidders see the car in person beforhand.  I am also happy to let your mechanic check it out if they are close.  The car is sold AS IS, and no warranty if offered.

Weekly Recap: Volkswagen moves forward under Muller

Sat, Sep 26 2015

Most stunning was the speed of it all. On the morning of September 18, Volkswagen AG stood atop the automotive world. It was profitable and sold more cars than Toyota and General Motors, its two main rivals for global supremacy. By nightfall, the company would be embroiled in scandal. Revelations the German auto giant cheated on diesel emissions testing in the United States reverberated from Washington to Wolfsburg, Germany. What started out as a problem with 482,000 VWs and Audis in the US exploded into an international scandal. Millions of vehicles have the rigged software, meaning VW broke environmental rules as its cars spewed pollutants all over the world. The fallout began immediately. Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn – one of the most respected and capable executives in the business – apologized on Sunday and Tuesday. On Wednesday he resigned. As the week progressed, the company's stock took a beating and credit agencies threatened to drop their ratings. VW dealers and owners said they felt betrayed. The automaker hired a law firm that defended BP after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The EPA is already extending its testing procedures to look for "defeat devices" like the ones used by Volkswagen. On Friday the company announced a major restructuring. Matthias Muller, Porsche's chief for the last five years, took over as CEO of Volkswagen and is charged with picking up the pieces of a shattered company facing regulatory action and lawsuits. With GM, Toyota, and Takata scandals still fresh, Volkswagen will likely experience unprecedented levels of scrutiny. Additionally, VW's markets in the United States, Canada, and Mexico will be combined into a North American region under the leadership of former Skoda boss Winfried Vahland, though US chief executive Michael Horn will stay on. The company is also realigning its brands by specialty and streamlining its board. Firings, government action, restructurings, and international outrage – things that usually build up over months or years – all occurred in about a week. With dizzying speed, Volkswagen's future has changed dramatically. It all happened, it's still happening, so fast. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Buick Cascada to start at $33,990 Buick hasn't made a convertible in 25 years. That's a whole person who can drink plus a kindergartner. So it's been awhile. Enter the 2016 Buick Cascada. It has top-shelf Opel engineering, slinky design, and it's reasonably priced.
