 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.

Move over Nissan Leaf, VW E-Golf is the new sales champ in Europe

Wed, Apr 8 2015

Western European sales of the Volkswagen e-Golf electric vehicle got just extra charged up, and not just with electricity. For the first two months of the year, the VW EV overtook longstanding EV leader Nissan Leaf in terms of sales on the Continent, Aid Newsletter says. In fact, the e-Golf's 2,150 units sold in Western Europe through February was 400 more than what the Leaf managed. Norway was the key country here. With lots of EV incentives, the Leaf (not to mention the Tesla Model S) have always sold well there, but Volkswagen, through a big advertising push, moved more than three times as many e-Golfs in Norway as Nissan did the Leaf. It's sure a far cry from the US, where the Leaf remains the best-selling electric vehicle. Through February, Nissan moved 2,268 Leaf vehicles in the US, compared to 311 e-Golfs sold here. March sales didn't do much to change the balance, with 195 e-Golfs sold versus 1,817 Leafs. The e-Golf, which retails for about $36,000 in the States, gets an EPA-rated 116 miles per gallon equivalent, barely edging out the Leaf's 114 MPGe rating. The e-Golf can also go 83 miles on a single charge. Our review of the e-Golf is available here.

Volkswagen to 'refit' 11 million diesel vehicles [UPDATE]

Tue, Sep 29 2015

UPDATE: This post has been updated with an official comment from Volkswagen of America. In response to its devastating diesel-emissions scandal, Volkswagen will ask some 11 million of its customers to report into dealerships to have their diesel-powered vehicles "refitted," Reuters is reporting. According to new CEO Matthais Muller, customers will be asked to report in "in the next few days" for the refit, although it's not entirely clear exactly what the 'refit' entails. Mueller apparently made the announcement during a closed-door meeting with 1,000 of the German company's top managers, although he didn't explain exactly how the emissions-cheating software would be sorted out, or what impact it would have on the performance of mileage of the company's diesel-powered products. It's expected that the refit work will cost VW $6.5 billion, Reuters claims. "We are facing a long trudge and a lot of hard work," Muller allegedly said. "We will only be able to make progress in steps and there will be setbacks." Autoblog reached out to Volkswagen of America to see when American consumers would be asked to report to dealers, what the refit involves, how long it's expected to take to repair all the cars in the US and globally, and what impact this fix will have on the performance and fuel economy of its diesel-powered cars and SUVs. Unfortunately and unsurprisingly, VWoA wasn't too forthcoming. "We don't comment on media speculation on internal meetings," Volkswagen of America spokesman Mark Gillies told Autoblog, adding, "We don't have any information on what the remedy might be at the moment, but we are working on it as a matter of the utmost urgency."
