I'm selling this beautiful Jetta GL it was for my sister but she has relocated into the city and doesn't commute by car anymore.

You are looking at:

One of the cleanest stock '01 Jetta's you'd see around, not only that but well kept.
The color is the favorite of many VDub owners Indigo Blue Pearl (code:LB5N).
It is a daily driver don't get me wrong, and it has a few (ONLY A FEW) little flaws on the body- Nothing major!
But when you pull the stick, the oil is clean and perfect in color, not black! No sludge in this engine.
Always run on 89 mid grade with ONLY 118k on the whole car this one is destined to go well over 250k.
This is a good car reliable in every way. The suspension is golden, the car drives smooth and idles at 890rpm. It doesn't get more ideal for a 2.0L VW four. I know this generation of Jetta very well. The MkIV Jetta is one of my favorite, and I will tell you straight up this is a great car.

The Only chronic issues Modern VWs ever encounter over 100k miles is electrical. It is a know fact though I love the Volkswagen brand dearly everything has a short coming... Well, Not this one! It's the GL trim, which although, yes, it's not fancy it is crank windows, has POWER LOCKS, a simple electrical system. You won't have the common broken/popping out window switch issues... or pesky electrical failings the way it happens with other Trim.


The Good:
Garage Kept - Never Seen Winter in a serious way! (just not used all that much)
Clean, Clean, Clean! Amazing condition- Engine, Undercarriage, Interior, Trunk!
New Timing Belt and Water Pump - Less than 1 Mile on the car since Done!
(Coolant Flush)
New DAYCO POLY RIB Serpentine Belt! (Less than 1 mile since installed)
Full sized Steel spare, with lots of tread.
Always Run on 89, all Highway Miles
Clutch was done at 50k by last owner.

The Bad:
Tires have okay tread, but are nearing time to be replaced.
Tear in Passenger's Inner CV axle boot.
(I can fix by replacing the whole half axle for $200 [Let me know])
Missing driver's side bumper grill, and black lower bumper lip.
Dent in Driver's side fender just back of headlight, and small rock chip divot in windshield


Link To More Photos Over 75 Pics!

Please Note- The Pictures where taken before the New Serpentine belt was installed.
And the Battery box "surround" IS properly, and securely in place. But was not at the time of photos.


You Will be Happy with this car! If you have any questions please contact me I am happy to answer any and all.

Volkswagen feuds with thriving stablemate Skoda

Wed, Oct 4 2017

BERLIN, Oct 4 (Reuters) - Volkswagen managers and unions are seeking to curb competition from lower-cost stablemate Skoda, move some of its production to Germany and make the Czech brand pay more for shared technology, company sources told Reuters. As VW struggles to cut jobs and spending at German factories and turn the page on dieselgate, Skoda's superior car reviews and profitability have intensified the brands' rivalry within the Volkswagen empire. VW now wants to reduce what it sees as Skoda's unfair advantages - combining German technology with cheaper labor - and reaffirm the top-selling brand's primacy ahead of a wave of new electric car launches, the sources said. The tussle between VW and Skoda is reviving tensions at the heart of the Volkswagen group between profits and jobs, and between central control and autonomy for its 12 vehicle brands. "Instead of devoting our efforts to beating Tesla, we may just be setting up a futile internal conflict," said one manager. Once the butt of jokes, Skoda has blossomed under 26 years of VW group ownership into a successful mid-market carmaker, steadily winning business from rivals - including VW - and surpassing even Audi's operating profit margin last year. At the same time, VW is facing thousands of job cuts as management moves to trim excess capacity at German factories. Its powerful domestic unions see Skoda's success as both a threat and a potential lifeline. VW workers' representatives are now demanding the transfer of some Skoda production to their underused German plants, a source close to the supervisory board told Reuters. The proposal aims to offset declining output of the VW Passat and aging Golf that could otherwise threaten more jobs. They are also making the case that Skoda should pay higher royalties to use VW's main common vehicle platform. The so-called MQB architecture also underpins mid-sized models from the group's Audi and SEAT brands. Responding to the news, Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka said he would meet Skoda management and unions to ask for clarification. The government will seek to ensure that VW investment plans are followed through and that "production is not moved outside the country," a statement released by Sobotka's office said. Skoda's main union warned that a production shift could cost as many as 2,000 jobs. VW's works council declined to comment.

Ecotricity offering 1,000 free EV miles to new customers

Thu, Feb 13 2014

Ecotricity is offering electric vehicle drivers in the United Kingdom an lengthy incentive for using green energy: 1,000 miles of free fast charging per year. Called "Green Electricity + Car," the program will power customers' homes with renewable power allow them to charge their cars through Ecotricity's national network of fast chargers, which the company has named the Electric Highway. It makes complete sense for Ecotricity. "To get the greatest environmental benefit from an electric car, it needs to be charged using 100 percent green electricity from the wind and the sun – otherwise you're still powering it from dirty fossil fuels," wrote Dale Vince, founder of Ecotricity. Ecotricity, a UK-based producer of green energy, wants to bring fast charging to 90 percent of highway service stations around the UK in the near future and four fast chargers are installed per week under the Electric Highway campaign, the company says. Users can fast charge their EVs in 20-to-30 minutes. Ecotricity recently instituted a price freeze for all gas and electricity customers until April 1, reducing energy costs below what's being billed by the country's "Big Six" energy companies. Green Electricity + Car coincides with Volkswagen bringing its electric e-Up! to the British market. Volkswagen Group (UK) Limited imports VW, Audi, SEAT and Skoda brand vehicles and has signed a deal with Ecotricity as its official green energy supplier. Volkswagen Group customers purchasing an EV through one of its brands can take advantage of a new, reduced-cost Ecotricity tariff and a free smart meter installation. 08 February 2014 Green Electricity + Car Drivers of electric cars will receive 1,000 free miles every year with a new electricity tariff being launched by green energy company Ecotricity. Green Electricity + Car – will not only power customers homes with green energy but also their cars (either 100% electric or plug-in hybrids), plus they'll get free access to Ecotricity's national network of fast chargers[1] – the Electric Highway. This latest move comes after Ecotricity announced a price freeze for all gas and electricity customers until the end of winter (April 1st), making them cheaper[2] than the standard tariff of the Big Six energy companies.

2014 Volkswagen XL1 [w/video]

Mon, 11 Mar 2013

World's Most Efficient Car Impresses, Not Without Compromises
Among our many duties at the recent Geneva Motor Show, we were offered a pretty exclusive drive in the new Volkswagen XL1 hyper-efficient plug-in diesel hybrid. There is so much that is interesting about a car like this reaching production from a major automaker that it's tough to know where to begin.
First off, you should know that - at least for this generation - there is absolutely no chance in Albuquerque that this "1-liter vehicle" (i.e. a vehicle that can burn just one liter of fuel to travel 100 kilometers, or 62.1 miles) will ever make it into the hands of North American customers. We, too, were having trouble imagining an XL1 in typical American traffic, surrounded by comparatively massive pickups and SUVs. The driving experience had us recalling a couple of weeks in 1999 when we drove the then-revolutionary Honda Insight hybrid on US roads. We keenly remember the feeling of being very small and vulnerable, even as we felt proudly green in our 61-mpg Tochigi pod. Thing is, the Volkswagen is smaller still, and nearly as light despite its more complex drivetrain and safety features.
