***This car had the ECU flashed two summers ago with Unitronic Stage 1 flash by a licensed Unitronic Dealer. I have never had any problems with anything throughout the different seasons. It got rid of some throttle lag and some other minor improvements. I got better gas mileage after the flash. It does call for 91 Octane Gasoline though. However, running 87 will not create a problem, it automatically adjusts to the lower grade fuel. Here is the link to the Unitronic website if you’d like to see the numbers and differences. http://www.unitronic-chipped.com/ecu-tuning/Volkswagen-Jetta-MK4-28L-12v-1999-2001

I have a k&n drop in air filter I clean every 15k and usually on highway trips I get 30-31 mpg. City I would say about 25-26. It is a great and reliable car and is fun to drive. I also have the stock radio and some other minor things I will include with the car. The 4 door speakers are aftermarket. They are Alpine 600c. The head unit is a Pioneer DEH-9800BT which includes Bluetooth. I have a microphone for the bluetooth handsfree I will include with the car, I just never mounted it.  

Car was last inspected 1/15 and is good until 1/15. During last inspection headlights were wet sanded and polished so they do not have the foggy look many mkiv's have.

THE BAD:
Drivers door panel is slightly broken and catches when the door is opened. This was due to the door hinge being bent but it was replaced.
The only three rust spots are in the pictures, they are on both fenders, and one window seal. 
Most of the cooling system was replaced however there is still a very slight leak. I only have to add coolant every month in a half or two months though. Mechanic stated it is too minuscule to worry about fixing. 

  I am only accepting CASH and you must pick up the vehicle on your own. I am not accepting paypal, nor am I offering any returns on the vehicle. BUYER is responsible for any fees taxes etc with title transfer.

If you would like to see pictures in higher resolution I can email them to you. If you have any other questions please feel free to message me. Thank you

Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic

Mon, Oct 24 2016

Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.

2015 VW e-Golf coming to ZEV states for $35,445* this November

Mon, Aug 25 2014

Is $6,465 too much to get someone thinking about buying a Nissan Leaf to opt for the Volkswagen e-Golf instead? That's the price difference between the current EV sales champion, which now starts at $28,980, and the just-announced price for the e-Golf, which will sell for $35,445 in the US when it arrives in about ten states (basically, the ZEV states that follow California's lead in zero-emission vehicle rules) this November and will qualify for the federal tax credit of up to $7,500. VW says that the extra money will get you "the most versatile electric vehicle in its class." There is only one trim line, the SEL Premium, which will be the first VW in the US with all-LED headlights. The car's powertrain numbers pretty much match the Nissan Leaf, though. The e-Golf has a 24.2-kWh lithium-ion battery (the Leaf has a 24-kWh pack) and a 115-hp, 199-pound foot electric motor (107 hp,187 lb-ft in the Leaf). The e-Golf's official EPA numbers are not yet available, but VW says it will have an "average range between 70 and 90 miles." The Leaf has an official EPA range of 84 miles. The e-Golf has a better onboard charger – 7.2 kW vs. 3.6 or 6.6, depending on your Leaf's options – and has SAE Combo fast charging capability as standard. VW is also working with 3Degrees to offset all of the emissions "created from production, distribution and charging of the e-Golf for up to approximately 36,000 miles of driving." VW also announced prices for its lightly facelifted 2015 Jetta today. The base model, the 2.0-liter S with a manual transmission, starts at $17,325 while the top-of-the-line model, the Hybrid SEL Premium, will set you back at least $31,670. The lowest-cost TDI is the S manual, which starts at $21,640 and features VW's new 2.0-liter diesel four. A new limited-edition 1.8 Sport model with a firmer suspension, tinted taillamps and rear spoiler starts at $20,895. All VW prices listed exclude VW's *$820 destination charge and you can find all the details on trim lines in the press releases below.
