Here's the car you've been waiting for!  If you've noticed these Jetta TDIs have become extremely rare to find on the open market!   Due to the rising fuel prices most of these car's owners have decided to hang on to them as these cars not only have some of the best mileage of any car on the market, but they also have one of the highest (we believe _the_ highest) fuel range of any car!  Don't be fooled.  I realize that Diesel is a little on the expensive side right now, but that's common for this time of the year!  This car gets on average twice the gas mileage of cars this size.  You can pay $3.00 for a gallon of Diesel to go 50 miles or spend $5.00 for two gallons of gasoline to go the same 50 miles.  That's why these cars are so popular.  Diesel would have to get a lot more expensive than regular gasoline to make this car unpractical!
 

Here's a once and a lifetime opportunity to get yourself a very rare Jetta TDI.  You can really see the well sculpted lines that this car offers.  It really has some character!  This is the TDI Diesel model.  For years when you would say the word diesel people would instantly think of thick smoke, loud noise, and the horrible odor that you see from big trucks with diesel engines.  Volkswagen improved technology and made diesel technology cleaner, quieter, and odor free!  This diesel engine really doesn't share any of the characteristics that other diesels have.  You don't even have to wait before starting it.  It starts right up just like a gas engine!  Those of you that are looking for the Jetta in the TDI version are in luck!  We've got one right here for your consideration!  Those of you that are looking for an affordable VW turbo diesel are also in luck!  We will be selling this car at the end of the auction so you finally have a chance to get a turbo diesel version without having to pay big bucks at your local dealer!
 

This is your golden opportunity to purchase that Jetta TDI that you've always been wanting!  This Jetta TDI comes to you in one of the most desirable color combination, Spice Red with Beige Leather on the inside, very attractive indeed!  The Spice Red really is a sporty color combination and brings out this car very well, unlike any other color these come in!  This is the TDI turbo diesel version that is one of the cheapest Jettas to own as well as maintain. Its a well known fact that these engines last for hundreds of thousands of miles and still provide unbelievable gas mileage.  This particular Jetta's mileage is extremely low with only 95,505 well cared for miles.  If you have been searching long for a Jetta then you know that it's very hard to find a Jetta TDI with less than 100,000 miles cause these cars were meant to be driven!  This is a great opportunity!  This is a one owner, non smoker, Texas car.  The car's history report shows that the first owner paid cash for the car which is really rare for a new car purchase and says a lot about the car's previous owner.  AutoCheck reports that this car was involved in an accident in June of 2011 and that the vehicle was previously sold at a wholesale auto auction with a disclosure that the vehicle has unibody damage or had unibody damage. We have checked the car and have been unable to locate any unibody damage, but the disclosure (usually a precaution on the seller's part) was made so we must make you aware of it.  From our inspection the damage appears to have been on the driver's side and considering the same owner that bought the car new kept driving the car for another two years before trading it in for a new car tells me that the car was repaired professionally by the individual's insurance!  As you can see the car looks fantastic and the car has a clean and clear Texas title.  No rebuilt or salvage history! The only other quirks are a check engine light that is related to the throttle body actuator and a wheel bearing noise from the front left wheel. It's spent its entire life registered right here in Texas!  You don't have to worry about rust or corrosion like most of these cars which have been up north.  This one has spent its entire life right here in rust free Central Texas! We checked all around the car and found NO RUST and no indications the car will develop rust in the future!   With the proven reliability of these TDI engines behind this car and the quality German engineering of Volkswagen you know that this mileage is just the tip of the iceberg with this car.  Although you don't see them on the market often, there are plenty of proud VW owners that have these cars with twice, even three times this mileage and they have absolutely no intention of selling them!  They're laughing to the bank with the thousands of dollars they've saved on gas over the years!  With the highly desired Automatic Transmission and cruise control, this would make a great highway car, or as a great around town car, even both!  The leather interior is still in impeccable shape showing virtually no wear.  You'll really be impressed with how nice this car is!  You don't have to make excuses for this car.  Just look at the pictures.  You'd consider yourself silly for wanting to spend more money when you can get this beautiful car for so much less and not sacrifice any quality!  The car looks, feels, and drives like a much newer, lower mileage version!  The a/c is very cold and the heat is just as hot.  All the power windows, power locks, seats, and mirrors work great!   It also has cruise control which makes those highway drives much easier. No warning lights remain illuminated on the dash after the vehicle is started, just as it should be!  The factory in-dash 6-CD stereo works great providing great sound to all passengers.  None of the speakers are blown!  The car also has the factory alarm built right into the car.   When you lock the car using the keyless entry alarm transmitter or key it's automatically enabled!   The exterior of the car is just as nice as the interior.  The Spice Red paint just shines.  You'd never guess this car's mileage by looking at the paint or body.  The alloy wheels are beautiful and are matched to a brand new set of tires.  You won't have to worry about tires for quite some time with this car!  Included is the car's books which fit into the matching Volkswagen case and the car's original window sticker!
 

So how does it drive?   You'll be very pleased with how well this car has been kept.  It runs and drives nicely!  You'll really impressed with how well cared for this car is!  The suspension is tight, the car hugs the turns and absorbs the bumps just as it did when it was new.  The only thing we noted when we were driving the car is the left front wheel bearing is beginning to howl a little. You can only really hear it when turning left at a higher speed.  Other than that it's not noticeable and doesn't need to be addressed now.  You'll be completely blown away when you drive this car and feel how nice it still is!  We're very confident that this car will last for many more years and miles of driving pleasure.  The car doesn't appear to be anywhere near the end of its life!  The brakes stop the car evenly and effectively just as they should.  The car's Turbo Diesel engine still runs great.  It's very quick to start when cold weather its sitting overnight or for a couple of days! It still runs very smoothly.  It has great pickup and great acceleration at both low and highway speeds.   This has to be the quickest diesel I've ever driven.  It has great pickup and great acceleration at both low and highway speeds.  You will have no trouble passing slower traffic in this car.  Unlike other cars, you don't have to sacrifice performance to get good fuel economy!  This car has no trouble getting up to highway speeds in excess of 80 miles per hour in a very reasonable time!  The turbo is still kicking in wonderfully making this gas saver have some very reasonable power.  The highly desired Automatic Transmission shifts very smooth, just as it should.  All the lights work great.  You'll really be pleased with the overall quality of this car when you get in it and drive it!  You'll have no doubt in your mind that the car has been well kept!
 

You will have a very hard time finding a car that's this nice for such little money.  This car is really a value with a selling price well below any guidebook's standards.  This would make a great car for anyone, being a highway driver or a car to get around town.  These Jetta TDIs are incredibly hard to find.  They provide an incredible amount of room while providing unmatched fuel economy!  This really is a great car for anyone!  With gas prices on the rise, this car will demonstrate its great value time and time again every time you come up to the pump and fill up.  As you probably know these cars are getting snapped up quickly when they hit the market.  The general public is starting to realize what VW owners have known for almost 10 years!   The TDI simply is the best deal out there!  Very soon you won't see any more of these Jetta TDI models on the market.  They'll all be snapped up by people who intend to "drive them until the wheels fall off".  Of course that seldomly happens if ever, but you get the idea.  The reserve is low and we anticipate it being met well before the end of the auction.  That's right, we actually plan on selling this fine car at the end of the auction.   With experts predicting that gas prices will only go up as time goes on, this car will demonstrate its great value time and time again.  You will not be disappointed!  This one really shows that an effort was made to keep this car in beautiful condition!  These cars don't come around every day!  In fact, this is one of the only Jetta TDIs we've seen in a very long time and it'll probably be one of the last ones we have judging by how quickly these cars are getting snapped up!  Bid early and follow the auction to the end, don't let another bidder with a couple of quick clicks of the mouse in the final minutes of the auction take your dream car away from you!  Don't settle for second best, get the car of your dreams and the luxury you deserve!  You will not be disappointed!  Don't let this wonderful opportunity pass you by!

Get ready to Camino-ize your fourth-generation VW Jetta with this kit

Tue, 05 Aug 2014

Inexpensive, small pickup trucks used to be everywhere in the US, whether they were from Japanese brands like Datsun or Toyota, the truly weird Subaru Brat or even from Europe with the Volkswagen Caddy based on the Golf. These days that market has completely disappeared, but if you're willing to pick up some tools to build your own, there's a company out there bringing the Caddy back as a kit for the Jetta.
Mark Smith knows a thing about building a vehicle at home. He has over two decades in the DIY-car business as a co-founder of Local Motors and the company that became Factory Five Racing. His latest venture is Smyth Performance and already offers a mid-engine, VW-based kit called the G3F. His new product, though, started as a fluke. "I just wanted a shop truck," said Smith to Autoblog. He already had a Ford F-450 but found that he was driving around with the bed empty most of the time. The result was a pickup truck based on the fourth-generation Jetta that he dubbed the Ute.
The kit retails for $3,500 and ships in three, big boxes, and it's designed to be built and painted in a weekend. Buyers get fiberglass exterior panels, a fiberglass rear window surround, sliding rear window, an aluminum reinforced bed with a tubular steel subframe, taillights, a fully functional steel tailgate, and other parts. In the end, you get a vehicle with a six-foot bed and a payload of around 700-750 pounds. The Ute maintains all of the factory suspension, fuel tank and emissions equipment and requires just a few cuts in the body to complete. "We did a modern Caddy," admits Smith.

2014 Volkswagen Beetle GSR is black and yellow, black and yellow

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Way back in 1973, Volkswagen decided it was high time to take the loveable air-cooled Bug racing. No, it wasn't painted in Herbie colors - Volkswagen called its sport-tuned machine the Beetle GSR, "Gelb Schwarzer Renner" or "Yellow Black Racer." Hence, the somewhat shocking paint scheme.
VW is bringing its sporty black and yellow Beetle back for 2014, and you can see live photos of it above. It's got a 210-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine under the hood (that'd be the hood up front, unlike the car's forebear), and a six-speed manual or DSG automatic transmission sends those ponies to the front wheels. Note that this car's output is up 10 horses on other turbo VWs, and the Jetta GLI and Beetle Turbo for 2013. The 0-60 run takes 6.6 seconds, and top speed is limited to 130 miles per hour.
Besides the in-your-face black and yellow paint, the GSR is outfitted with a large rear spoiler and 19-inch wheels shod with 235/40 tires. The bee-like hue carries over inside, with yellow stitching on black leather. Only 3,500 will be produced, each with its own unique plaque. Pricing has not yet been announced, but you're free to read through the press release below all the same.

VW promises 7-seat CUV for America in 2016

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

On the eve of the Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen chief executive Martin Winterkorn has confirmed the imminent arrival of a new crossover. The model, previewed at the same show last year by the CrossBlue concept pictured here, will be unique to the North American market when it arrives here in 2016. The new three-row, seven-seat crossover is part of an ambitious expansion plan on the part of Volkswagen and Audi in North America, where the two brands aim to sell a million vehicles by 2018.
That's a mighty big increase over the 600,000 vehicles which the Volkswagen Group sold here last year, but it's moving in the right direction: That number is already a 100-percent increase of what it sold here just five years ago. At that rate, VW should have little trouble meeting its goals, particularly with the arrival of the new crossover and the introduction of Golf production at its assembly plant in Puebla, Mexico. Read the full statement below for more.
