You are looking at a 2003 Volkwagen Jetta TDI diesel 5 speed manual wagon with aluminum wheels. This a very rare combination! The car has a few minor issues, but is clean, and runs as smooth as the day it was new. To get to the point, the issues are as follows: Dome lights don't work. I had it looked at. There is a bad proprietary relay somewhere that I haven't bothered to fix. Losing a bit of power steering oil. I have to add about 2 oz. of power steering oil every month or so. Barely noticable, but it is losing it ever so slowly. Losing a bit of engine oil. I have to add about a quart every 10,000 miles. Barely noticable, but there. Bushing in suspension. A mechanic had noticed it when I had the power steering oil issue checked out. There's a click noise when you make a hard turn at low speeds. Needs timing belt. I didn't replace it since I've decided to sell the car. Last done at 159000 miles. You'd need to do this soon. Small exhaust leak. You can't even smell it, but you can see a bit of leakage near the muffler when the car starts. Minor wear in driver's seat, and height adjustment is a bit hard to adjust EGR valve isufficient flow. There's a light on for this one. Basically, you just get a puff of blue smoke when you start the car because of this. I left it that way because then the intake won't get gummed up. Radio doesn't tune. The stereo works and sounds good, but the antenna connector is cracked, and I never bothered to fix it. Can't get AM/FM, but the rest of the stereo works just like it should. Replace the connector, and it will work fine. Head unit removal tools included. Rear window washer fluid hose has a crack. Squirting window washer liquid on the rear window doesn't work all that well since there's a cracked hose. A few spots of touch-up paint, and a few scratches. I've tried to show (even exaggerate) these in the photos. Missing rear headrests. They were missing when I bought the car, and I never replaced them. But here's the good news: All new air conditioner system. A/C siezed last summer, and I had the whole thing replaced. Works well. New tires in February. I have the paperwork. Warranty is transferrable. Clutch is strong. No slippage in any gear at any weight on any incline. Smooth engine. No issues here whatsoever. Even runs well in extreme cold or heat. We had +111°F here last summer, and -10°F this winter. Ran great. Strong glow plugs. Car starts even in deep cold. Extra stereo inputs. Accepts SD card, USB flash drive, 1/8" stereo plug Comes with all manuals and stereo code. Records of all service since I've owned the car. If you're handy with these, then these fixes shouldn't be too much trouble. The upholstry has some wear as you'd expect for the age and miles. Please feel free to come by and check it over/test drive it. I've tried to be as honest as possible with the condition, and you are free to completely check over the car, so this car is being sold AS-IS. No warranty, no refunds. I'll accept cash, check, cashier's check or money ordr. I'll need a $200 deposit at offer acceptance. However, if you aren't able to see the car before making an offer, when you come to pick up the car and don't like it, I'll refund your deposit. Feel free to email me with any questions.On Apr-25-13 at 07:12:15 PDT, seller added the following information:I received some good questions, so I want to add a little bit to the description. First, the car still gets about 46 MPG on the open road. About 40 around town. Although the timing belts needs to be changed, the turbo is quite strong. Works/sounds great. It shouldn't need replacing any time soon. Next, I'm trying to include some engine photos. Also, There is AN ALUMINUM DEFLECTOR PLATE on this car! It protects the engine quite well. The white mark on the right rear bumper is a sticker I took off of there. My foot is in a cast, so I haven't really been able to do much better than that, but some alcohol should take it off easily. Finally, there is a small crack on a plastic shroud in front of the deflector plate (not on the plate itself, just in front of it). Again, I'll try to show some photos.
