IF YOU STILL CANT SEE THEM ALL, IT MAY BE EASIER TO VIEW THEM ON MY WEBSITE AT WWW.SHORTMOTORCOMPANY.COM This is a very clean little Jetta TDI! Between my mechanic and I, weve put about 150 miles on this car and it has performed flawlessly. Powered by the legendary 1.9L TDI and backed by the bulletproof 5-speed manual transmission, this car has lots of power and the engine runs perfect. There isnt any blow-by and it isnt leaking anything. The transmission also shifts perfect. My mechanic specializes in TDIs and he was extremely impressed with this one. This car is very peppy! The body of this car is very clean, and there isnt any rust or corrosion on the body, undercarriage or anywhere else. There are a couple tiny dings and scratches which I took close-up pictures of below, but beyond that this car looks excellent. Moving to the interior, youll find even more evidence of how well this car has been cared for. There arent any cracks in the dash. No tears in any upholstery or stains anywhere. It is extremely clean and does not appear to have ever been smoked in since there are no smells or burns, and the original cigarette lighter hasnt ever been used. This car also sports the somewhat rare power sunroof which also works perfect. This car drives perfect in every way. My mechanic inspected the car from top to bottom and he replaced the fuel filter, all vacuum lines, and the complete A/C system. He also found some carbon buildup in the intake manifold, so he removed it and had the machine shop vat, beadblast, and paint it to remove any and all carbon. Everything on this car works perfectly. The buyer will be extremely pleased with the condition of this car. The car needs absolutely nothing! It is 100% good to go in every way and is ready to drive anywhere. Fly in and drive it home - Ill even bring it to you at the airport! *1998 VW JETTA TDI *1.9L TDI TURBO DIESEL ENGINE WITH 5-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION *ONLY 134,431 DOCUMENTED ORIGINAL MILES *PORCELAIN BLUE METALLIC EXTERIOR WITH LIGHT GRAY CLOTH INTERIOR *POWER SUNROOF *POWER DOOR LOCKS *TILT STEERING *CRUISE CONTROL *DUAL FRONT AIRBAGS *REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER *AM/FM STEREO WITH CASSETTE PLAYER *ALLOY WHEELS WITH KUMHO TIRES (APPROXIMATELY 35% TREAD LIFE REMAINING) EXTERIOR IS EXCELLENT *100% RUST & CORROSION FREE *NO SIGNS OF ANY PREVIOUS ACCIDENTS *PAINT SHINES EXCELLENT (NO FADING) INTERIOR IS EXCELLENT *NO TEARS, NO STAINS, NO BURNS, AND NO WEIRD SMELLS *COLD A/C & HOT HEAT RUNS AND DRIVES EXCELLENT *NO SMOKE, NO ENGINE NOISE, AND NO LEAKS *ENGINE IS VERY STRONG AND RUNS SMOOTH *VERY TIGHT STEERING AND SUSPENSION *TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTH AND CRISP *NO ISSUES - NEEDS NOTHING - READY TO DRIVE ANYWHERE CARFAX CERTIFIED AND AUTOCHECK ASSURED 2 OWNER CAR WITH ACTUAL MILEAGE AND A PERFECTLY CLEAN HISTORY REPORT (NO ACCIDENTS, THEFTS, FLOODS, ETC.)

Our History: Short Motor Company was founded by my Dad, Leo Short, in 1990 after he was a Snap-On Tool dealer for 9 years. He was guided in starting his business by his uncle, John Short, who owned several new and used car dealerships throughout Texas over the course of more than 30 years in the business. I started working for my Dad at age 16, finished high school, and began my college career toward my Associates Degree in Automotive Marketing and Management from Northwood University in Cedar Hill, TX. I married my wonderful wife Rachel in 2007 and we welcomed a baby boy to our family in February 2011. My Dad and I continue to work together: he sells vehicles strictly from his storefront just as he has done since 1990, while I have chosen to cater to the online community. When I was 12 years old, my Grandpa gave me a 1965 Mustang Fastback that had been sitting in a field since the 1970s. It was my dream car, but once I started looking to buy parts for it and realized that wasnt going to happen with my [non-existent] budget, I sold it for $1,300. By the time I graduated High School at age 17, I had bought and sold over 30 cars. For my High School yearbook, they made up a new "Most Likely To Be..." category for me - I was "Most Likely To Become President Of Ford Motor Company". When I joined eBay in 1999 I was buying and selling rare Hot Wheels toy cars. Now since 2006 Ive been selling pre-owned cars and trucks full-time on eBay. Since day one, Ive maintained 100% positive feedback. My Philosophy: To provide quality pre-owned vehicles with outstanding value and superior customer service. I realize that my customers have a lot of choices when purchasing a vehicle and my goal is to cater to you personally by providing a perfectly painless purchasing experience. I treat you with the same respect, honesty, and integrity that I would expect to receive. All of my vehicles are hand-picked, thoroughly inspected and fully serviced, and then inspected cosmetically and test driven by me before theyre ever offered for sale. General mechanic work is done by Downtown Garage and Greer Motors. Diesel engine work is done by Gaults Auto Shop. Front end work and alignments are done by Franks Wheel Aligning. Detailing is done by Classic Auto Detail. Each of these shops have been in operation for over 20 years and I highly recommend all of them if youre in the area and need something done. If you have a question about anything at all, please dont hesitate to ask - Im readily available through email (bradyshort@gmail.com) or a phone call (817-988-2629). -Brady Short Finance I DO NOT OFFER FINANCING. However, if you choose to seek your own financing through a bank or credit union, I can work with them to finalize your purchase. But, if you are going to need financing, please make sure that you are approved by your lender for the vehicle you would like to bid on before bidding on it. A few suggestions for financing providers are shown below: Warranty Short Motor Company is a retail distributor for C.A.R.S. Protection Plus Limited Warranties. We have warranties available for vehicles that have up to 200,000 miles, with coverage ranging from 3 months/5,000 miles to 4 years/unlimited mileage. Please contact me with any questions about a warranty. If a warranty is not purchased, or if a vehicle is not eligible for a Service Contract, then the vehicle will be sold "As-Is" with no warranty. www.CARSProtectionPlus.com Shipping - FREE PICK-UP AT ANY AIRPORT, BUS STATION, OR TRAIN STATION IN THE DALLAS/FORT WORTH AREA -If you choose to fly into any airport in the Dallas/Fort Worth area (Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and Dallas Love Field are the two main ones), I will deliver your vehicle (and paperwork) to the airport at any prearranged time (during normal business hours, unless other arrangements are made ahead of time).

If youre looking for the largest and most well-known transport company, I recommend using Dependable Auto Shippers (www.DASAutoShippers.com, 800-840-9485; Mention DAS Affiliate ID # 3285795).

Vehicle must be picked up within 2 weeks after auction ends. After 2 weeks, a storage fee of $15 per day will be charged. If I already have the title to the vehicle it will be given to you in person when you pick up the vehicle, or sent to you via FedEx if you choose to ship the vehicle. If I do not yet have the title (very few cases, but does happen sometimes because of paperwork delays), once I do receive the title (no longer than 10 days after the sale in most cases) it will be sent to you via FedEx.Winning bidder MUST contact me within 24 hours of auction end, and make arrangements for payment at that time. If no contact is made within 24 hours I reserve the right to sell it to the next highest bidder, re-list the vehicle, or sell it elsewhere. Please do not bid on this auction unless you are serious about owning this vehicle. All non-paying high bidders will be reported to eBay. If financing, make sure your financial institution accepts the year and miles of this vehicle before bidding. Please arrange financing prior to bidding.If you are not sure about something, please ask. Do not assume anything not listed or pictured is included. Feel free to call me (817-988-2629) or email me (bradyshort@gmail.com) for any reason. I reserve the right to cancel bids for excessive negative feedback or not enough feedback. If you have less than 2 feedbacks, please email me before bidding.All of my vehicles are thoroughly checked out by my mechanic before they are ever put on eBay and any maintenance needs are taken care of. Most of my customers are from out of state, so I take great care to make absolutely certain (to the best of my ability) that the vehicle is in excellent mechanical (and cosmetic) condition. Please understand these are used vehicles, and may have very minor imperfections that are not noted. I try very hard to describe each vehicle accurately; however, if you have a question about something specific that you feel is not addressed adequately in the description, please call or email me.Sometimes the vehicle may have slightly more miles on it after the auction is over than what it had when the eBay listing started. This will not be a drastic mileage increase (usually only a couple hundred miles at the most), but it does happen on occasion because of test drives and demonstrations during the auction.I want this transaction to be as smooth and pleasant as possible. A happy buyer is a well educated buyer, so if you are in doubt about anything, please ask.
