Lost my parking space so my trusty VW 1998 TDI Jetta must go to a new home.It has the 1.9 Turbo diesel with a manual shift 5 speed. About 30,000 miles ago the motor was overhauled with new rings,bearings and cylinder head camshaft timing components. The motor had snapped the timing belt so I figured since it was apart why not renew it all.At the time a new clutch was also fitted.I have driven her 30,000 miles over 7 years with no issues.The car starts right up in the cold every day.She runs drives and stops just fine.Last week I but new brake pads on her.The tires have about 10,000 miles on them and are in good condition .The only issue I have with the car right now is the driver side windows stopped working since both stopped at the same time I suspect the switch that controls them is bad.Besides that the car is very reliable and gets about 40mpg.I have gotten up to 50 mpg but it seems like work ie... coasting to stop signs never going above 50 mph and shifting at 1475 rpm.It can be done but its just work to me.All the other electrical options on the car work fine.The sunroof opens and does not leak and the A/C blows hard and ice cold.Theres no major rust or suspension issues .The car does not need any immediate service I always changed the oil every 3,000 miles and kept up to date with changing filters and fluids . Im sure you could just jump in and drive cross county in this car no problem.Call me Joe 347-744-7591 to arrange a test drive or for more information.If your local I can drop the car off once it paid or will help arrange shipping if you need it shipped out of state .Be sure to click on the video test drive I took of the car below. ="http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w443/erzcar/98tdi/IMAG3704_zps8e34dc9d.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo IMAG3704_zps8e34dc9d.jpg"/>
