I have a Volkswagen Jetta diesel for sell. The complete engine and transmission is what I am selling, with the rusted car included. It is one of those engines that with upgrades can run on used cooking oil. It was a perfect running car when it was parked, I only stopped driving it because a improperly install windshield rusted out floor boards. I always planned to put the engine in another Jetta to get that 50 MPG again, but life didn’t work out like that. The interior is ruined from water damage. I have three hubcaps. The last time started was 2008 (and I won a bet when it started on second revolution) There is no water in oil and air intake/filter has no condensation or mildew. The timing belt was change 3 times (every 25000) in the life of the car because the previous owner and I knew its importance's Though the odometer says 72000, it did stop working the last year I was driving it (probably water damage) so I estimate its 80000, but that is high. All glass is good except front windshield. The body may be gone but I will promise you that engine/trans is tight and strong and with a little TLC should give many years of reliable service again. It was the best car I ever owned. I have not hand turned the engine because, being a diesel, I not sure it would be good for the injection pump. But I know it turns. I will be happy to answer any questions. Thank you for looking
