This rare Jetta GLI is in excellent, original, unmodified condition, with super low original miles (currently just under 75000), and is a blast to drive! Handles and is way more fun than new cars, with its slick 5-speed transmission, great handling and road feel! Plus it has a sunroof and original VW equipment (owners manual, window sticker, owners card), and its original Tornado Red paint still shines. It is hard to find such an original Jetta GLI, let alone in such condition. This GLI has its original paint that shines, and does not appear to have ever had any body work. All four original alloy wheels are in good condition and still have their center caps, the headlights are clear and bright, and the doors and windows all open and close properly. There are three small areas of minor rust, shown in the photos, all on the passenger side of the car (one small area at each wheel arch, and one near the gas filler), and there is surface rust on some components on the underside of the car. I have chosen to keep the car as is original, as these small areas do not detract from the excellent original appearance of the car. Overall, the body and paint is in incredible original condition and looks great. Mechanically, this Jetta GLI has the full complement of GLI equipment, including the 1.8 liter high performance engine, 4 wheel disc brakes, multi function trip information computer operated by a stalk on the steering wheel, wheelhouse flares, alloy wheels, performance suspension, tachometer, and power rack and pinion steering. The car starts right up, runs and drives great, and handles great. The front wheel bearings and brakes (calipers, pads, hoses, using correct GLI parts) are new. The tires have decent tread, but are older and have a slow leak on the passenger side tires, and the exhaust has a leak (not bad, sounds a bit sporty, but it and the tires could be replaced to be in top original condition). I have always garaged the Jetta, and based on its condition and appearance, it must have always been garaged. In the five years that I have owned it, I have used it for occasional drives in the area, and it has always started and run beautifully. The interior on the GLI is amazing, it looks like an almost new car. The dash has no cracking or fading, the terrific and comfortable sporty GLI seats are excellent (the back looks like it may have never been used, the front has a couple of minor spots on the cloth, but even the bolsters are in great condition and there is only slight cracking on the leatherette drivers bolster), the leather wrapped steering wheel and shifter are in great condition, there is no fading or cracking even on the back of the rear seat or rear dash! The headliner is great and the manual sunroof opens and closes as it should. The optional original VW AM/FM cassette stereo works when it wants to, leading me to believe that there is a loose connection somewhere because when operating, it sounds great. I have never tested a cassette tape, but all but one of the cassette tape holders in the console open and close properly. Note that this car does not have air conditioning or the power window and lock package, which I always felt was good not to have these features as they are some of the more troublesome areas on this generation Jetta. The trunk compartment also looks virtually new. The Jetta even includes its original keys! This is a rare opportunity to own and drive one of the best handling, fun, and economical 1980s cars in outstanding original condition. Please ask any questions before you bid, and understand that a bid is a contract to buy this special Jetta. I have described the Jetta to the best of my knowledge and ability. The Jetta is sold in as is condition, and the buyer is responsible for transport, although I can arrange to be available for a transport company to pick up the Jetta. I can continue to garage the Jetta for a brief time prior to pick up or transport. A non refundable $500 deposit is due within 24 hours of auction end. The car will not be released until it is paid for in full and all funds (cash, bank check) have cleared. The clear title is in my name, and will be released when the car is paid for in full and funds have cleared. |

European jury picks finalists for 2015 Car of the Year
Tue, Dec 16 2014There are countless Car of the Year awards handed out each year, and naturally, Europe has its own way of doing things. Every year, a panel of jurists representing seven publications in seven different languages and seven different countries get together to name their joint Car of the Year. The panel released a list of 32 candidates back in July, and it has now whittled that list down to seven nominees. The list consists of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the Citroen C4 Cactus (shown), the Ford Mondeo, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Nissan Qashqai, the Renault Twingo and the Volkswagen Passat. Of those seven, only two are available in the US – those being the Mondeo (sold Stateside as the Fusion) and the C-Class. The Passat is an entirely different model in North America, the Qashqai isn't offered here, Citroen and Renault don't even participate in our market and the BMW 2 Series is represented here only by the completely different coupe and convertible. Expect the one and only recipient of the 2015 Car of the Year award to be announced at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March, and while you're waiting, you can place your guesses for the eventual winner in Comments.

Auto sales in March and first quarter down nearly across the board
Wed, Apr 3 2019Nearly every major automaker reported weak U.S. sales for March and the first quarter of 2019, citing a rough start to the year, but said a robust economy and strong labor market should encourage consumers to buy more vehicles as 2019 rolls on. GM, which no longer releases monthly sales figures, saw first-quarter sales fall 7 percent, with declines across all brands. Sales of Silverado pickup trucks fell nearly 16 percent and the high-margin Chevy Suburban large SUV dropped 25 percent. Ford also no longer releases monthly sales numbers, but is due to release its first-quarter sales figures on Thursday. According to industry data, Ford's sales fell 2 percent in the quarter and 5 percent in March. Ford representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. FCA reported a 7 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and a 3 percent drop for the first quarter. All of FCA's brands dropped in March, except for Ram, which saw a 15 percent increase in pickup truck sales. "The industry had a tough first quarter, but with spring finally starting to show its face and continued strong economic indicators ... we are confident that new vehicle sales demand will strengthen going forward," FCA's U.S. head of sales, Reid Bigland, said in a statement. Toyota reported a 3.5 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and 5 percent for the first quarter, hurt by declining demand for its Corolla sedans and Camry vehicles. "While some of our competitors are abandoning sedans, we remain optimistic about the future of the segment," Toyota said in a statement. Nissan posted a 5.3 percent drop in sales in March, and its first-quarter sales were down 11.6 percent. Honda and Hyundai bucked the trend. Honda's U.S. sales rose 4.3 percent in March and 2 percent in the quarter, while Hyundai's were up 1.7 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Passenger-car sales suffered throughout the January-March quarter compared with the same period in 2018 as Americans continued to abandon them in favor of larger, more comfortable pickup trucks and SUVs, which are far more profitable for automakers. The battle for market share in the particularly lucrative large-pickup truck market intensified in the quarter, as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram brand outsold the U.S.' No. 1 automaker General Motors' Chevrolet-brand trucks. The two automakers have both launched redesigned pickup trucks.
