Purchased from original owner (Illinois) in 2012 in Ohio, then driven here to Florida that same year. The head gasket went bad in December of 2014 and hasn't been driven since. The engine has not been run since the oil drained out, so there is no internal engine damage as a result. The title is free and clear. The body is in solid shape, the doors all shut solidly and tightly. The electrical systems are all in good working condition (lights, moonroof, air conditioning, etc.). The tires have a good amount of tread on them, and the wheels are all in good shape. This car needs repairs on certain things that we simply just cannot afford right now: - Head gasket needs replaced- Exhaust manifold leaks- Transmission slips- Pulls to the right- Cruise control doesn't work- Right front wheel has a slow leak- Driver's side front window raises slowly and makes clicking sound- Washer fluid spray Things that work and/or are in good shape: - Air Conditioning- Heat- Power Moonroof- Sun visors- All dashboard lights- Power door locks- Remote trunk pop button- All power windows (except driver's as noted above)- Seats (no rips or holes)- Motor mounts (engine does not shake)- All interior and exterior lights- Trunk door and lock- Radio (factory; display not clear)- 6 Disc CD Changer (mounted in trunk)- Speakers (factory)- Windshield wipers- Seat belts- Rear defrost- 1 year old battery (see engine pictures)- Wheels- Turn signals- Key and ignition- Parking brake The Kelley Blue Book "Fair" value (see photos for screen shot) is around $1800 in running condition. In this part of the US, Jettas in similar condition that run are listed around $1500 - $2500 and up. We understand that this car needs to be picked up, and time and money spent on repairs, which is why we are only asking $900 for it. We are hoping it finds a good home with someone that would appreciate getting one for about half the price, repairing it, and driving it. Please feel free to make an offer and thanks for reading!
