We are selling our 2003 Volkswagen Jetta VR6 2.8L, 6 spd manual with 130k miles on it.  The vehicle is not running.  It looks as though it blew the head gasket.  It has new tires and a new battery not even a month old.  The radio has been removed and you can install whatever sound system you would like.

This is an Arizona car, which are highly desirable since we don’t go through the harsh winters - salted roads, rust and corrosion issues are not a problem for us. 

The Jetta is black with a black interior, it is a very sharp car and in good condition considering its age.

I’m selling it as is and giving the opportunity for someone to do the repairs necessary to end up with a really nice car at a good deal.  The current book value is $5900 and I have included an image of the book sheet for you to verify.  

I’ve got many projects that I want to get to and this VW is down my list of priorities right now.  Not to mention its 100+ degrees and I really don’t want to do the repairs in this heat.  If it does not sell now I’m okay with keeping it and doing the repairs when the weather cools off.   This is an incredible opportunity for you to own a highly desirable AZ car at a fraction of it's actual value.

Please expect to either replace the head with a rebuilt one or rebuilding the current head – but it would be foolish not to do this since it will be off anyways.  My assumption at this point, not having the motor torn down, is that the head, head gasket and new fluids should get this beautiful car back on the road.  Again, this is an assumption since I have not taken the topside of this motor a part yet to verify exactly what is necessary.  Regardless, at this low reserve price, whatever is necessary even up to replacing the entire motor will leave you in a good position value wise to what you are paying now.   

There are your typical dings & scratches which are to be expected with a vehicle of this age.  There is a tear in the drivers seat which I have shown in the pictures.  Please understand, this is a 2003 vehicle and you should expect the typical wear and tear that you would see on a car that's 11 years old.  If you need more pictures, please ask for them.  If you need more information about the car, please ask before you bid.

Please understand that you are responsible for shipping this car in its present non-running condition.  You need to make arrangements with your transportation company and make them aware of this. 

The Jetta is advertised locally and I do reserve the right to sell it outside of this auction at any time and cancel this auction.

A $500 deposit is required within 24 hours of completion of this auction.  The balance can easily be handled with a bank wire transfer, a certified bank cashiers check or in cash if you live local and plan on picking it up yourself.  The vehicle must be paid for in full within 7 days of the completed auction and before the vehicle will be released to its new owner.

Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.

Volkswagen hatches hotter GTI in Geneva

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

The all-new seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't even launched here in the United States, but over in Geneva, we're already getting our first glimpse at the hotter GTI hatchback. The fancy new Mk VII Golf is already off to a healthy start with positive reviews in Europe, and we have no doubt that this next GTI will work hard to regain its title as king of the hot hatches.
The big news for this generation of GTI is that for the first time ever, Volkswagen is actually offering two different power grades for the model, both relying on the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four. Standard cars pack 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but an optional performance pack ups the horsepower number to 230. Hitting 60 miles per hour takes 6.5 seconds (6.4 with the performance pack) and top speed is quoted at 153 mph (or 155 with the performance kit). Volkswagen will continue to offer the GTI with both six-speed manual and dual-clutch transmissions.
On the visual front, the sub-3,000-pound GTI adds the usual bit of hot hatch aggression over the standard Golf, and those changes carry over to the interior with a flat-bottomed wheel and, of course, plaid seats. She's certainly a looker, and while some of us do find the new Golf's design to be a bit staid and evolutionary, the enhancements for the GTI indeed tug on our enthusiast heart strings.

2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD is our favorite oil-burning GTI

Tue, 05 Mar 2013


The 2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD has officially bowed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Engineers managed to squeeze an additional 14 horsepower and 22 pound-feet of torque out of the familiar 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine, nudging total output to 184 hp and 280 lb-ft for 2014. The figures are good enough to earn the GTD the honor of being the most powerful diesel Golf in Volkswagen history. A start/stop system helps improve efficiency over the previous generation with the new model consuming 56 miles per gallon on the EU cycle. That's up from the 2013 model's 46 mpg. A six-speed manual transmission is standard equipment, though a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox is also available.
The GTD also offers buyers a few aesthetic tweaks to help separate the hatch from its less potent siblings. Those include a more aggressive front fascia, special badges and 17-inch alloy wheels. Expect to find the GTD in one of three exterior colors, including Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. Check out the quick press release below for more details.
