Hi, this listing is for a used 1997 jetta with 162,423 miles that needs work but runs and drives. I bought it last year on ebay needing work and most of it has been done, there are some minor things that need to be done but you can drive it while you fix it. The only reason I'm selling it is because my son gave me his car this week after he got a newer one from the dealer, otherwise Id still be driving this everyday. White exterior, tan interior with automatic transmission and manual locks/windows. There is a moonroof but it isn't working, didn't get to that, might be a fuse. When I got the car it needed a door lock actuator, muffler and brake work which I did. I put in a drivers side door lock actuator, door closes good. Installed a middle muffler and then on the right rear- brake shoes, hardware, brake cylinder and inner and outer wheel bearings. I have receipts for all that I did from autozone, the rest I got on ebay. Ive driven it every day and was just at inspection where it needed some small things still to pass. Everything was good except for the right front strut mount, washer fluid hose partially missing and license plate lights also. I bought the license plate light holders and put those in with new bulbs already. You need to still do the following: bleed the brakes, work but kind of light. Install the right front strut mount and get a hose for the washer fluid. There is some antifreeze that started to leak lately and temp sometimes goes up, gauges go weird at times so might be a speed sensor. Ive had to refill the antifreeze often lately so I just put a new thermostat in thinking it was that but that's not the issue. I was going to sell this for parts but its a waste being that I repaired a lot and its road worthy, you just need a weekend to finish the rest. Transmission shifts late sometimes but i think it just needs fluid, this car doesn't have a transmission fluid dipstick and its filled from under the car. Jiffy lube couldnt get the cap off In fear of breaking the cap but if you add fluid they said the shifting with smooth out on its own. Check my feedback and bid with confidence, I don't sell junk or misrepresent my items. Any questions please email me before you bid. Yes you can drive it home, it starts everytime but might want to tow if youre uncomfortable with antifreeze leak. It only leaks from the coolant tank that holds the extra fluid, nowhere else. I will give you the repair manual, extra key blank and a clean title. For parts I have the brake hardware for the left rear new, strut mount new and the door for the gas. Gas well has rust but they sell Bondo with a metal blend so it will fill that with no problem. There is touch up paint and scratches all over the car, dents all around so please expect wear. The previous owner didn't have a gas cover so I ordered one, add some bondo and then put two screws, not hard. Im only listing this once whole, if it doesn't sell I will part it out. The whole car has dents and dings around, expect it for the age and are in the pictures. All 4 tires are almost new with plenty of tread, radio has a cd player made by DUAL and has a port for usb or to play music through it with your phone or ipod. I plug my phone in and stream youtube through the radio but drivers door speaker not sound, rugs are a little dirty, all lights work.Good luck! Please keep in mind that this 97, is used and needs work, expect wear and tear, just put new hub caps on.

VW previews retouched 2014 Touareg for Beijing
Wed, 16 Apr 2014Volkswagen is in New York this week showing off its new Jetta and Golf TDI SportWagen concept. But in less than a week, the German automaker will be off to China for the Beijing Motor Show, where it will showcase the revised Touareg you see here.
A subtle update on the Touareg that's been on the market in its current form for four years now, the facelifted model features reworked styling front and rear, an updated interior and a host of new technologies to keep it current in the highly competitive SUV market. Among those new features are larger bi-xenon headlights, coasting function, Google Maps integration and a post-collision braking system designed to prevent a second crash.
VW will offer the new Touareg with a variety of engines around the world, but in North America it'll carry over the same six-cylinder powertrain options as the outgoing model: a 3.6-liter V6 with 280 horsepower, a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 with 240 hp (though torque isn't listed, we'd expect around 406 pound-feet, same as last year) and a hybrid that marries a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 to an electric motor that combine to deliver 380 hp.
Next-gen Volkswagen Golf R spied while running the 'Ring
Tue, 16 Apr 2013The launch of a new Volkswagen Golf is never a small thing, and things are already looking up for the subcompact hatchback after it was named 2013 World Car of the Year. While we've already seen the base and GTI versions of the next-generation Golf, now we're getting our first look at the sportier Golf R.
Although this prototype wears GTI lettering on the front fenders, it's more than just the roll cage and Sparco racing seat hinting that this is something a little more serious. Unlike the Golf and GTI, this car shows that the Golf R will continue to flaunt massive air intakes on each side of the fascia, and the rear of the car (though it's hard to see) has quadruple exhaust outlets. We still don't have an official word on power, but rumors indicate that the next Golf R could be pushing close to 300 horsepower, making it the most powerful production Golf ever. As much fun as we had during our first drive of the Golf R Cabriolet in the cold, snowy French Riviera last month, more power is a warming idea.
Volkswagen could outsell GM in China for the first time in nine years
Fri, 27 Dec 2013As of the end of November, Volkswagen had sold 70,000 more cars than General Motors in China in 2013, making it appear inevitable that VW will outsell GM there. The feat would return the German brand to the top of chart in China for the first time in nine years, but even the second-place getter won't be complaining too loudly: both automakers sold more than three million vehicles in a market pegged to hit 16 million sales this year.
Volkswagen said it could have sold more cars if it had had more production capacity in China. The arrival of a new-to-China Audi A4, a China-built A3 sedan, the VW Bora and Skoda Octavia, as well as an $18.2-billion-euro investment in the country to construct new factories, means VW should see its numbers grow in 2014. GM's lineup is expanding next year, too, adding four Chevrolet nameplates and two vehicles to its Baojun brand as it tries to get to five million in sales by 2015.
Among other automakers, Ford benefited from good product and woes for Japanese automakers over a territorial dispute with China, outselling Toyota by almost 32,000 units through the end of November. The Ford Focus is China's best-selling vehicle so far this year.
