Vehicle Detail
About the Seller I take great pride in the fact that in my 10+ years as a member of the ebay community with over 100 sells, my 100% positive rating reflects that I have never had a dis-satisfied customer. I credit this to the fact that I am very selective in what I sell; am intentionally overly critical and thorough in my descriptions; and make every effort to provide fast, responsive communication. Frequently Asked Questions Can I see it/drive it/inspect it? You bet. Shoot me an email and I'll give you the directions. What will it cost to ship it to...? Generally about 50 cents to 1 dollar per mile. Click the “Vehicle Shipping Quote is Available” link at the top of this listing for a more specific quote. Ebay’s system will automatically put determine the distance behind the vehicle’s location and your home address and provide up to three shipping quotes for this vehicle. I also recommend uship.com. They have a vehicle shipping service that is very similar to ebay’s bidding process which often produces very good prices. If you need any more help with shipping quotes, just shoot me an email. Will you arrange shipping? We will be more than happy to assist in making the arrangements for you with the understanding that the shipping cost is ultimately the buyer’s responsibility. Are you a dealer? Sort of. I’m a guy who loves unique vehicles and a licensed dealer rep, but I work from my home. This gives my customers the best of both worlds: the security of knowing that you are protected by a dealer’s bond/license and the pricing that you would get from a private party who has no advertising, overhead, or other typical dealer expenses. Do you add doc fees, dealer prep, or destination charges? No. Those are just silly fees that dealers stick in their pocket. I don’t believe in it. If you win this auction, the only thing that you'll pay to me is your bid. What is your return policy? Basically, once you have taken possession of the vehicle, it cannot be returned. However, at the time of your pickup (before you take possession), if you feel that we have not described the vehicle accurately and honestly in our listing, we will cancel the auction and refund your deposit. Ultimately, if you feel that we have not described the vehicle with 110% accuracy, then you are not obligated to purchase it. Please note, however, that in 10 years as an ebay member, no one has ever said that one of my listings was inaccurately described. . You are bidding on a no reserve auction for a difficult-to-find, loaded, leather, immaculate, diesel VW Jetta TDI with power sunroof w/ memory settings, cruise control, pass-though rear seating, AM/FM/CD, power locks, power mirrors, alloy wheels, auto-locking fuel door, micro-locking trunk with valet trunk lock. Basically, if Volkswagon offers it as an option, this car probably has it! According to Popular Mechanics Magazine’s published tests, this incredibly popular small diesel gets better fuel mileage than a Toyota Prius Hybrid! (And in my opinion, it's a lot more fun to drive!) This turbocharged Jetta is in near-perfect condition with a clean, accident-free carfax; it boasts sophisticated German engineering and styling; and it sports a quiet diesel that has a purrrr that will put a smile on your face...and it will be sold to the highest bidder regardless of price, without reserve. And, “Yes”, we will ship it anywhere! Description: The soaring popularity of the turbocharged diesel Jetta TDI (along with its long lifespan) has made it an incredibly sought-after vehicle that has spawned fan clubs and owners groups world wide. Of course, if you are reading this listing, you probably already know that! Overall, this is an immaculate vehicle that looks great; has a clean, accident-free carfax; and is loaded with every available comfort and performance feature that VW offers. Since I don't give 10's, I would rate it an easy overall 9 out of 10. Let’s get to the details: Mechanical: We have just serviced this vehicle including full computer diagnostics. Mechanically, it is sound and absolutely reliable with low mileage on its long-lasting diesel motor. Clean (recently changed) fluids. Clean motor. No leaks. All electronics function properly. Cruise control sets and holds its speed as it should. Stereo/CD functions as it should (and sounds great, too!). Stereo functionality from steering wheel works as it should. Air conditioning works as it should. Power sunroof and mirrors function as they should. Diesel motor purrs like a kitten. Interior: I don’t give 10's, but if I did this one would get it. Carpet is near perfect. Leather seats are near perfect. Dash appears new as it shows no fading or cracking. The interior and leather even smells new. I’ll rate the interior an easy 9 out of 10. Driving: The turbocharged engine is very peppy and really fun to drive. Compared to most domestics this size, the ride is noticeably solid, responsive and quiet and the seating is comfortable. In fact, even with the sunroof open the drive is comparatively quiet...I'm not sure how they engineered that. However, this is a diesel engine and its automatic transmission does shift between gears noticeably harder than most gas cars. So expect harder shifting. However, we have had the transmission checked (thoroughly) and it has absolutely no transmission codes that appear during computer diagnostics or service lights on the dash. Exact fuel economy was not tracked, but I will say that I have no doubt that this car is capable of the 45+ mpg that the manufacturer claims and that other third-party sources have verified. In summary, it's fun to drive, comfortable, and peppy, but has choppy shifting, so I'd rate its driving a 7 or 8. But, that's a pretty small price to pay for unbelievable fuel mileage and a turbo diesel engine that will probably last you forever and that will never need a tune-up. Handling: The vehicle’s tight handling is what you would expect from a German-engineered vehicle. It drives tight and straight. At highway speeds, it has extremely minimal vibration that is comparable to that of a brand new Jetta. The steering is tight with little, if any, play in the wheel. The vehicle handles as new and I’ll give its handling an easy 9 of 10. Tires: Newer tires with 80-90% tread. No uneven wear. No plugs that I could see. The tires are a 9 out of 10 by even the harshest standards. Exterior appearance: I tell people to expect minor chips or scratches on every vehicle that I sell. That said, however, you’ll have to try hard to find them on this vehicle. The paint is very glossy and reflective. There are no damaged or loose trim pieces or panels. This vehicle shows as very nearly new and would reasonably rate a 9 by anyone. Summary: This is a great looking, great running, fun to drive, and hard to find diesel Jetta that sips fuel and will sell to the highest bidder! Thanks for visiting and best of luck in the auction!
