I am selling this car for my nephew. It is a one owner 2003 Volkswagen Jetta Turbo Diesel TDI with automatic transmission. It has 102,000 original miles. It has been serviced by the Volkswagen Dealer it's entire life. Kelly Blue Book has this car priced from 8700-9300 Private Party Value. Naturally that's with the repairs done. So better get it for yourself before a dealer buys it and has it priced at $10-12,000. In late 2009, he slid on some ice and broke the oil pan on engine. His insurance company had a factory rebuilt engine installed by the Volkswagen Dealership. At present he is trying to find the original invoices for the work done. It now has about 20,000 on the replacement engine. The salvage yards get $3,000 for a used diesel engine, so I can imagine what the replacement motor cost. This is a car that gets up to 45 miles per gallon highway. It has real nice almost new Sumitomo all-season tires. He purchased the car new in Maine and now lives in Oklahoma City, but the car is at my house in Benbrook, Texas, a suburb of Fort Worth. He has a clear Oklahoma title on the car. Be sure and check out the vehicle history report! The bad: 1. The differential failed about 2 weeks ago. According to the dealership, it tore up the starter teeth on the flywheel, which is part of the torque converter, and then it cracked the bellhousing on the transmission. The bellhousing can be rewelded, but you'd need a torque converter and differential. I've enclosed a picture of the dealer invoice stating what they found to be the problem. If you would purchase a used transmission from a salvage yard, the differential and torque converter are usually included in the unit. 2. There is some slight fender damage on the right side behind the rear door. 3. The plastic grille is broken. We will include in the sale a brand new grille. When the dealership put the transmission back in the car so that we could trailer it home, they left out some underhood plastic pieces that hold the hood release cable in place when you operate the hood release. When we tried to open the hood, the cable wouldn't release. While trying to get the hood to release at the front, I ended up breaking the plastic grille. If you use the BUY IT Now, we will include a brand new grille and hood latch. I have tried to be as honest as I can be about the car. Ask me any questions or request more pictures BEFORE you bid, please. We would need a $500 non-refundable deposit through PayPal within 24 hours and the remainder paid with certified funds within 4 days. Could store for up to 30 days at no charge, but would have to be paid in full up front.
