No Reserve !! History: We bought this car for our son while he was in law school in Boston. It was parked most of the time because he used the "T" (mass transportation). He had the car so he could use it to go skiing in Vermont and get back to Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. Most of the miles are highway miles. He will be 30 years old this year and has accepted a position in New York where it isn't practical to own a vehicle because parking costs more than $1,000/month in Manhattan. I had the vehicle shipped back home to Michigan via professional carrier. There are lots of pictures to look at. The car has never been in an accident but it does have some wear from being parked in the city. I tried to show any damage as best I could in the pictures so that you have an accurate idea. I've been ebaying since the 1990's and have 100% positive feedback on hundreds of items, big and small, so please bid with confidence. I don't like surprises and I'm sure you don't either. If you have a question, PLEASE call BEFORE YOU BID. Ask for Adam at (810) 240-5530. If calling, please be patient. Last time we sold some snowmobiles we had over 40 calls. You might want to email me at Mellen60@gmail.com and give me a contact number to call you. Either way, we'll get back to you as soon as possible. I do not believe in ending any listing early because I feel ebay bidders will provide the fair market value of everything --so please do not call and ask if we will end this auction early. Special Note: This car is for sale locally and we reserve the right to pull the listing at any time should we get a local buyer. The vehicle is also available for inspection and test driving. I've listed the mileage today at 45,869 and guarantee that not more than 30 more miles will be on the car at the end of this auction. I have to leave room for test drives. The car has new rear brakes (rotors, pads and calipers) that were put on last November 2010 at a cost of $700. The electronics work (windows, heat, air, etc.) and the transmission/engine are awesome. Here's the downside: (see pictures) The rear bumper has scratches from city parking in Boston. Drivers there "tap" each other because parking is so tight. The front bumper has some scratches but not too bad. The windshield has a crack and I'm really sorry because it just happened. The grill has a chip and one of the rear doors has a ding. The premium sport wheels are awesome looking and were expensive. One of them has some curb scrape marks and I've provided a close up photo. At least one tire is new and the rest of the tires have good rubber left on them. I'm being as picky as possible because I have to be your eyes on this. When it is all said and done, the car is mechanically a beast and the exterior has good paint and the body looks good. There's no rust or holes, etc. All the damage is cosmetic but the paint is good. The engine has so much power and the transmission has no problems at all...like I said, mostly highway miles. The overall body of the car shows well if you can get past the rear bumper and get the windshield fixed. This is a car that gets great gas mileage, is zippy, and the rear seats have not been sat in very much. We are all non smokers, no pets. The interior could use a vacuum and dusting but it is winter now and cold here so I'll leave that up to you. The trunk and hood linings are like new and there are no rips or tears in the seats. We've never done any major repairs to the car. We'll have the car on "full" when you pick it up...full of gas and ready to go! She's been a trusty girl for us and we know she's got a lot of life left.

We accept paypal or major credit cards through our business. We are also willing to help with delivery within reason. 200 miles in any direction seems reasonable for a fee of $75...that will buy us a tank of gas. We live 60 miles north of Detroit, MI. Also, the Jetta must be picked up within 30 days of auction close. I think that's about it. Good luck and please know that we are honest and fair. I look forward to leaving you great feedback and hope at the end of this transaction, you can do the same for me. Remember...call or email with your questions before bidding! Happy New Year!
