2012 Volkswagen Jetta Se Sedan 2.5l Beautiful Car 35k Miles!! *reduced* on 2040-cars
Dallas, Texas, United States
|
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. Follow the link for a FULL gallery of pictures, I couldn't afford that many on here! Open to reasonable offers through the site and I would very much be interested in selling it in person as well. 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 |

Auction for first US VW e-Golf raises $41,400 for Global Green charity
Thu, Nov 6 2014Would having Jay Leno on hand have changed the outcome? That's what executives at Volkswagen might be asking after the German automaker auctioned off the company's first electric car in the US for around $6,000 over MSRP. VW auctioned off the first Volkswagen e-Golf in the US to raise money for the environmental non-profit Global Green USA. Bruce Oberg, an EV enthusiast and previous VW owner, proudly cut a $41,400 check for the car, which has a 116 miles per gallon-equivalent rating and is said to be able to go about 80 miles on a single charge. At your local dealer (depending on where you live), the e-Golf starts at $35,445. Sales start later this month in 11 states: California, Massachusetts, New York, Vermont, Oregon, Maine, Maryland, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Washington, DC. The $6,000 premium for first-dib rights for the e-Golf is nice, but it doesn't compare to what BMW worked out this summer. In August, the first i8 plug-in hybrid in the US was auctioned off at California's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance for $825,000 (to an unidentified buyer). That's about six times the car's sticker price, but this special edition came with Louis Vuitton luggage and was presented by noted car buff Leno. VW's press release below. VOLKSWAGEN E-GOLF RAISES MONEY TO BENEFIT GLOBAL GREEN USA AFTER A SUCCESSFUL CHARITY AUCTION Nov 4, 2014 Winning bidder claims first VW electric vehicle as the car begins to ship to select U.S. dealerships Herndon, VA (November 4, 2014) – Volkswagen of America, Inc. today announced that the auction of the first 2015 all-electric Volkswagen e-Golf has raised $41,400, with proceeds benefitting the national environmental non-profit Global Green USA and its efforts to advance smart solutions to climate change. The winner of the auction, which ran from October 8–29 on CharityBuzz.com, became the first U.S. driver to own Volkswagen's all-new, fully-electric vehicle. "Volkswagen's commitment to e-mobility and sustainability runs deep. We could not be more proud that the e-Golf has helped raise money to benefit the efforts of Global Green USA, an organization that shares in our dedication to the environment," said Michael Horn, president and CEO, Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
VW planning 20 new plug-in models for China
Thu, Oct 30 2014With just about everything getting super-sized for China, Volkswagen is following suit with its plug-in vehicle plans for the world's most populous country. VW, Europe's largest carmaker, is looking to sell more than 20 different plug-in models in China within the next four years, Reuters says, citing comments Volkswagen Group China head Jochem Heizmann made in Shanghai. The company is hoping that translates to sales of more than 100,000 plug-ins in China by the end of the decade. Go big or go home, right? There's a huge plug-in vehicle opportunity in China, especially given the bad pollution situation in cities like Beijing and Shanghai and the Chinese government's incentives for plug-in vehicle buyers. Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn said at the Beijing Motor Show this spring that the company would spend $25 billion on at least a half-dozen plug-in models for China by 2018. VW will start selling the e-Golf in China this year and the Golf GTE plug-in hybrid in 2015. VW said in August that it would start selling the e-Golf in the US for about $35,500 in November. That's a $6,500 price hike from the base Nissan Leaf.
VW LogBox and Race App performance data logger for R models [w/video]
Tue, Dec 30 2014Now that it's got a 300-horsepower Golf R to brag about, Volkswagen wants you to be able to brag about it accurately with the LogBox and Race App performance data logging combo. Plug the LogBox into your VW's OBD II port and it sends data over BlueTooth to the Race App, measuring variables like acceleration, distance, G-force and engine performance. If you're on a circuit, it uses Google Maps to make a map of the track, and you can record live video in-app to match with the data. Volkswagen says the LogBox will be available for R models and "a range of further Volkswagen cars," so you'll want to hit up your dealer with questions before ordering. It's available from the VW accessories store for 299 euros ($365 US), but right now the free app is only available in German, in the German-language iTunes and Google Play store. We imagine that will be corrected shortly; in the meantime, the video can show you how it works.
