2002 VW JETTA WAGON 5 SPEED DIESEL, I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 2 YEARS AND IT HAS BEEN VERY RELIABLE AND NEVER BROKE DOWN. CAR HAS 199,034 MILES BUT FEELS LIKE A CAR WITH 50,000 MILES! THE ENGINE RUNS PERFECT, GEARBOX AND CLUTCH FUNCTION AND ENGAGE AS THEY SHOULD WITH NO ISSUES, STEERING IS TIGHT AND SUSPENSION GOOD, AC BLOWS COLD, CAR IS VERY COMFORTABLE AROUND TOWN OR ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70+ STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW WITH NO VIBRATIONS OR NOISES. I DRIVE CAR PRETTY EASY WITH A MIX OF AROUND TOWN AND SOME HIGHWAY, AND TYPICALLY AVERAGE 45 MPG FOR MOST TANKS. THE WORST I EVER GOT WAS 43 MPG DOING 75MPH A/C GOING WITH 4 PEOPLE, 4 BIKES ON THE HITCH AND LUGGAGE IN THE BACK. BEST TANK WAS 46 NOT MUCH A/C USE AND AROUND TOWN STOP AND GO AND UNDER 60MPH DRIVING. DEPENDING ON HOW YOU DRIVE YOU SHOULD EXPECT 43-45MPG.THIS CAR HAS THE VERY DESIRABLE 5 SPEED GEARBOX THAT IS FAR SUPERIOR TO THE AUTOMATIC. PRIOR TO PURCHASING THIS CAR I OWNED AN AUTOMATIC, AND THE BEST I COULD MANAGE WAS 39 MPG. UPON PURCHASE OF THIS CAR MY FIRST TANK WAS 6 MPG BETTTER! CAR HAS BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND I HAVE ALL THE RECORDS AND RECEIPTS ALONG WITH THE OWNERS MANUAL AND 2 SETS OF ORIGINAL KEYS. I HAD TO REPLACE THE TURBO 20K AGO WHICH SEEMS TO BE A COMMON THING WITH THESE CARS BETWEEN 150K AND 200K OR AROUND 10 YEARS OLD(HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY OTHER ONE). TIRES ARE BFG TOURING TA LOW ROLLING RESISTANCE AND ONE OF THE BEST TIRES MADE. TIRES HAVE 80% TREAD, ROTORS REPLACED 20K AGO, TIMING BELT REPLACED AT 172,000, ALTERNATOR AT 189,000, CLUTCH REPLACED IN 2009. CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND HAS ORIGINAL PAINT. CAR HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND IT SHOWS, JUST LOOK AT THE PICTURES! EVERYTHING WORKS ON THIS CAR AND I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO DRIVE IT ANYWHERE. BEING A 12 YEAR OLD CAR THERE IS SOME WEAR AND TEAR TO BE EXPECTED. THERE IS A SMALL DENT ON THE REAR HATCH TO THE LEFT OF THE WIPER THAT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE IN THE PHOTOS. THERE IS ALSO A SMALL RUST BUBBLE IN THE LOWER LEFT CORNER OF THE REAR WINDOW. THE DRIVER SEAT HAS SOME WEAR AS SHOWN IN PHOTOS, BUT STILL VERY NICE. MORE PICS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. CAR HAS NO LEAKS OR UNUSUAL SMELLS, STAINS, RATTLES, ETC.. THE REASON I AM SELLING THE CAR IS MY FAMILY IS GROWING, AND WE NEED MORE ROOM FOR THE KIDS AND ALL THEIR STUFF. THE HITCH ON THE BACK WAS NEVER USED FOR TOWING, BUT WAS USED FOR OUR BIKE RACK. IT IS A CUSTOM MADE HITCH WITH A 2 1/2 RECEIVER AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY TRAILER WIRING. I CAN REMOVE HITCH IF BUYER DOESN'T WANT IT.
