I am looking to sell my 2004 Volkswagen Jetta TDI (Diesel) with 217k miles. It is well "broken in" but this engine is still young for a diesel!
This has been my commuter and road-trip car which got me 70k awesome miles over the past three years - gets 45-50mpg highway! Very good paint and exterior condition, minor interior blemishes and one chip on front bumper from previous parking lot scratch. It has tinted windows (professionally done, no fading and includes the front windshield for glare reduction - this is legal in SD, too). Rides very smooth, handles very well in the snow due to heavy engine and front-wheel drive.
The car has the check-engine light on right now and the engine has been knocking intermittently over the past two or three weeks, right now it is not doing it but I haven't been driving on it, just to play it safe. The CEL remains on and I expect it may likely start doing the knocking again as it has gone away before and come back. Took it to two different mechanics for this issue, the check-engine light codes are for an injector misfire and/or wiring harness, something with the electrical connections between the injector and the engine is the most likely problem after talking to several mechanics. I can't seem to get a straight 100% answer on what the problem is and I have been wanting to upgrade to a larger vehicle anyway, so I am selling this to get cash towards that.
This is the only substantial work the car has ever needed. I went through all the previous paperwork from the last owner (I am the second owner), who also used it as a commuter car, and it has gone through every oil change, belt change, etc., at the appropriate time. The miles are essentially all highway miles!
I love this car but don't want to sink money into any repair that I could just use toward something else anyway.
I am honestly not interested in haggling-style negotiations so please contact me only if you are interested in my asking price. The KBB value for this car in good to very good condition is $4,257 - $4,457 and I believe with everything I have described $4k is a very reasonable asking price. (I am adding $125 to that because that is the eBay fee for a successful listing.)
You can email me through this site or call five 4 0 9 zero 7 8 1 nine six.
Thank you!

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.
Volkswagen finds CO2 'irregularities' for 800k vehicles
Wed, Nov 4 2015The latest issue for Volkswagen affects another 800,000 vehicles, and this time its for irregularities in CO2 emissions certifications. VW estimates this issue could cost the company $2.2 billion to fix. The company officially makes no specific mention of which engines are covered, the models they are in, or even where they are located. VW discovered the situation during its ongoing internal investigation, and, according to the automaker, "it was established that the CO2 levels and thus the fuel consumption figures for some models were set too low during the CO2 certification process." Most of the affected vehicles are diesels, and the company is now reaching out to "the responsible type approval agencies" to figure out the next step. While VW isn't officially confirming which models and engines are involved, Automotive News reports that it affects some 2012 and later VW, Audi, Seat, and Skoda models with the company's 1.4-, 1.6-, and 2.0-liter diesel engines, as well as the 1.4-liter ACT gasoline engine. The issue mainly affects vehicles sold in Europe. "The Board of Management of Volkswagen AG deeply regrets this situation and wishes to underscore its determination to systematically continue along the present path of clarification and transparency," CEO Matthias Muller said in the announcement. Volkswagen Group of America spokesperson Jeannine Ginivan was able to provide some further clarification to Autoblog. "This is not related to US-certified vehicles," she said. Clarification moving forward: internal investigations at Volkswagen identify irregularities in CO2 levels Matthias Muller: "Relentless and comprehensive clarification is our only alternative." Around 800,000 Group vehicles could be affected Initial estimate puts economic risks at approximately 2 billion euros The Volkswagen Group is moving forward with the clarification of the diesel issue: during the course of internal investigations irregularities were found when determining type approval CO2 levels. Based on present knowledge around 800,000 vehicles from the Volkswagen Group could be affected. An initial estimate puts the economic risks at approximately two billion euros. The Board of Management of Volkswagen AG will immediately start a dialog with the responsible type approval agencies regarding the consequences of these findings. This should lead to a reliable assessment of the legal, and the subsequent economic consequences of this not yet fully explained issue.
