 After 3+ years in the family we are selling our 2002 ALH Jetta. This car is not a "normal" used car. The body and interior are the nicest you will find for a 2002 with 146k miles. Not one door ding or dent. No curb rash on any of the rims. The previous owner modified it significantly, in some respects he made it into a show car. Since buying it I raised the suspension back towards normal, put on less aggressive rims, replaced the alternator, battery and injection (fuel) pump all in the past year. I have personally changed the oil with Rotella T6 every 5k miles since buying the car at 110k miles. A partial list of modifications is as follows:

1. Complete GLI interior, no rips/tears in any of the seats front or rear.
2. Injectors, DG race pipe, Omni downpipe, Upsolute chip, VR6 clutch, KYB adjustable Shocks/Struts, Eibachs, Drilled/slotted rotors front and rear, 0.681 5th gear, Ventectomy.
3. Shiny bits including trunk plate, trunk struts, hood strut, dead pedal, other pedals, shifter.
4. Windows have mild tint, I have never been pulled over for a tint issue or had it mentioned in 35k miles of driving.
5. This car is making about 145hp/270tq, vs. stock of 90hp/155tq. It will lay rubber in 1st and 2nd if you floor it.

Other recent maintenance includes:

1. Clutch at 113k
2. Brakes (pads and rotors) at 110k
3. Rear bumper repainted due to backing into my wife's car in the driveway one day at 140k
4. Front air dam replaced due to car being too low before at 135k
5. Radio antennae replaced due to age and cracking rubber
6. Transmission oil replaced at 130k

And then of course there is the bad news. It does have 146k miles, it is 11 years old. 3rd and 4th gears are kind of notchy, but all gears work with no grinding. The suspension squeaks a bit. If the state where you live aggressively tests/checks 2002 diesels for emissions, it will fail due to EGR system being removed. It passed inspection and had a sticker the whole time we were in Tennessee and Louisiana. It has a constant check engine light because of all the modifications.

Ultimately this is a car for VW lovers or lover's of modified cars. My wife drove it as a commuter car for a year and eventually decided that it was too intense for her liking. Now she's driving a bone stock Acura TL and is happy as a clam. It really does get 50mpg at 70mph and better than that at 50-60mph. Around town we generally got about 44mpg. My personal record was 821 miles on 16.4 gallons of gas.  I do respond to questions, so please ask. I will not end the auction early for a lowball offer.

New VW Beetle Convertible ad needs no disguise

Mon, 18 Feb 2013

Convertibles make you do funny things. Ask someone if they'd drive a hardtop in near freezing temperatures with all the windows down and they might not even answer, thinking the question so ridiculous. Give that same person a convertible they love and you might just have to ask them to please put the top up even when snow is on the ground.
That guy has to take precautions to enjoy his proclivities, and as this new ad for the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible shows, not everyone understands. Have a watch below, and note that there's just one woman in the minute-long spot, and she's nowhere near the car. Seriously, why didn't VW run this commercial during the Super Bowl?

Here are 12 electric pickups in the works

Wed, Oct 21 2020

With the unveiling of the GMC Hummer EV, the list of planned electric pickups is expanding. Legacy automakers like Ford and Chevy have theirs coming, as do startups like Tesla, Rivian and Bollinger, as well as some lesser known brands. Here are all the electric pickup trucks we know to be in the works, along with a few that are being discussed or mulled over. GMC Hummer EV The 2022 GMC HUMMER EV is a first-of-its kind supertruck develop View 40 Photos We’ve seen it now, and itÂ’s the business. The GMC Hummer EV comes out swinging with 1,000 horsepower from GMÂ’s new Ultium electric powertrain program, a wealth of off-road features, a removable roof, Super Cruise and the revival of the Hummer name. WeÂ’ll see the first ones on the road next fall. Tesla Cybertruck Tesla Cybertruck at the Petersen Museum View 14 Photos Tesla revealed the Cybertruck last year with, ahem, unique styling, a number of powertrain options and a claimed range of up to 500 miles. It has a compressed paper dash, a ramp for the bed, and “shatterproof” windows. It has already racked up hundreds of thousands of reservations. It will be built in Texas. Rivian R1T 2021 Rivian R1T View 15 Photos EV startup Rivian revealed its R1T electric pickup toward the end of 2018 with a claimed 0-60 time of 3 seconds and a towing capability of 11,000 pounds. Preproduction began in September 2020 at RivianÂ’s factory in Normal, Illinois. Bollinger Motors B2 Bollinger Motors B2 side outdoors View 31 Photos BollingerÂ’s B2 electric pickup is a Class 3 off-roader with retro styling, removable roof panels, and a unique “frunkgate” with a pass-through down the center of the vehicle. It was created with both enthusiasts and workers in mind, with features that can get it to remote places (portal axles, hydro-pneumatic suspension) and to get things done (room for 40 2x4s, equipped with eight 110-volt outlets and one 220-volt outlet). Bollinger also plans to make the B2 Chassis Cab available for fleet customization. Ford F-150 Electric Electric Ford F-150 Towing View 9 Photos WeÂ’ve known this to be in the works since early 2019. Since then, details have trickled out. Back in June, Ford announced its F-150 Electric would be coming within two years. WeÂ’ve seen it pull a million pounds worth of train and trucks, heard it will have more power than any other F-150, and seen its LED-laden front end.
