2000 Volkswagen Jetta GLS

For sale is my 2000 Jetta GLS with 230,000 highway miles on it. The super reliable VW 2.0 gas engine gets great gas mileage. I bought the car brand LIGHTLY used in 2002. I have taken pretty good care of it but it is time for something new(er). I have been driving this car for the last 12 years and have CONSISTENTLY gotten 31 MPG on every tank.

  The exterior is RED, straight with a couple very minor parking lot dings from other cars, and a  dent on the upper fender on the passenger side, just below the A pillar (front windshield frame/door frame area) and the wheel opening (see pics). The rocker panels are in GREAT shape and there is NO RUST to speak of on the body of this car.  


  The interior is in Very good condition as well. It is a BLACK leather interior.  There is a small cigarette burn in the driver’s back passenger seat that was there when I bought it. It is the size of an eraser head.  The sun/moon roof works flawlessly and the headliner color is grey and in very good shape.

The factory floor mats are in great shape. I’ve installed the McNeil brand of floor liners since the day I bought it and the ORIGINAL carpet and FLOOR MATS look excellent. The stereo (Monsoon?) is 6 disc CD (in the trunk), tape, AM/FM stereo.  I honestly don’t know what is going on with the stereo, the sound won’t come on for a couple/few minutes and then it’ll come on. Heat works very good.  . The AC works EXCELLENT. The seats are manual with lumbar support. All power windows and locks work EXCEPT for the passenger rear. I’m not sure if it is a regulator, switch or electronic, but it is all out on the RIGHT REAR side. The car comes with 1 of the switchblade keys.  You can find one online at ebay and get it done at a dealer if you want another key.


  The issues with the car:  Approx 10000 miles ago I was driving along and the car “just quit”. I had it towed to an auto repair shop. The shop replaced the timing belt that had snapped. He warned me that it was a zero clearance head and that there could be damage, but he’d have to remove the head to check. I did without the head removal and took the car after he replaced the timing belt. Ever since then, the CHECK ENGINE light has been on with an issue of #1 Cylinder Misfire code. The car smells a little “rich” when running it BUT it still gets 30 MPG and the engine still runs great.   A little bit of off idle vibration for about 2 minutes until the engine warms up and then it runs as good as it ever did (like a top). The exhaust will need to be replaced at some point. It runs and I’ve had it “patched” with a “sleeve” over the pipe with the leak, but it still sounds “tinny”. It is holding but is a little on the noisy side.

The suspension has not been touched, so it could probably use some struts/shocks replaced.  The front grill is beginning to lose it’s clearcoat in spots.  The tires have about 3/4 tread left in the front and the rears are still like new . I think they have about 10k miles on them. The clutch is in ok working order as is the five speed manual transmission.  There is a small “star” in the passenger side windshield were a rock hit it.  Hood opens and closes perfectly, as does the trunk and gas door.  So that is everything I can think of to tell you about the car. It really is pretty decent for a 2000. Please check all the pics first before asking questions. If you need anymore info please call 937-286-6868 or text or email.

Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota

Wed, Feb 25 2015

It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.

Next-gen Volkswagen Golf R spied while running the 'Ring

Tue, 16 Apr 2013

The 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.

VW modular platform strategy goes all-in on EVs

Tue, Jan 7 2014

The Volkswagen Group has already revealed or put on sale a broad slate of new electric vehicles: the E-up, the E-Golf (shown above), the Porsche 918 Spyder, the Panamera S E-Hybrid and the XL1. In 2014, there will be at least six more models, including the A3 Sportback E-Tron. And after that? Well, to hear Rudolf Krebs, Group Commissioner For Electric Vehicle Drive Systems, tell it, VW's future is full of plug-in goodness. "With our platform strategy, it is quite easy to bring a lot of electrified vehicles to the market for the different brands in a very short time," he said. "We try, with a minimum of those components, to produce a maximum number of variants of cars" That strategy starts with three platforms: MQB for small cars, MLB for midsize models and MSB for sporty and premium products (there's also the NSF for cars like the E-up). Speaking to AutoblogGreen, Krebs said VW has designed modules, things like engines and electric components (think: AC compressor, on-board chargers and battery management systems), to be used across all three platforms and across all brands all. "We try, with a minimum of those components, to produce a maximum number of variants of cars," he said. "This is only possible if, at an early stage of the design of new vehicles, we implement the idea that these cars are not only designed for gasoline and diesel powertrains but that we can also include CNG concepts, flex-fuel concepts, pure electric vehicles or plug-in hybrid vehicles. With minor changes in the body in white, we can produce those vehicles, bumper-to-bumper, in one factory." "VW wants to be the leader in the electrification of vehicles" In this way, customers can choose the powertrain that they want, or whatever powertrain their local regulations demand. Politicians have already put a lot of pressure on the automotive industry, with ever-stricter CO2 regulations coming into effect in all of the major markets. In the US, the fuel economy regulation numbers require the equivalent of 101 grams of CO2 emissions per kilometer by 2025. Europe, it's 95 grams by 2020. And China, which is asking for 118 grams by 2020, will be a tough scenario, Krebs said. Today, by optimizing conventional technologies and supporting things like CNG and biofuels, more than 300 VW Group models emit less than 120 g/km. A hundred of those are even under 100 g/km. But this is not sufficient, and VW admits that conventional powertrains will not be not enough.
