I finally decided I really needed a late model truck due to my classic car and motorcycle hobby; the right one came up sooner than expected and I pulled the trigger today from a private seller(eco-diesel ram, bought new July 29, 4200 mi, with the options I wanted, for $12k under sticker even after TT&L from a private seller)... So my daily driver Jetta is up for sale...
2006 1.9l TDI Jetta, with the DSG auto transmission. Its white, with tan leather interior. 181,xxx miles, but has been well maintained, and has had the common problems with these cars addressed. Cams have been replaced, timing belt and water pump have been replaced, the flywheel has been replaced, and a whole list of smaller things too. The interior is clean(although Im not a big fan of the wood grain..), and the headliner is perfect(replaced with NEW one direct from VW)! Its got the dual zone AC, sun roof, seat heaters, real leather, memory seat; nav is the only feature I don't see on it. As far as aftermarket stuff its got tinted windows, a hitch, Dieselgeek aluminum skid plate, weathertech floor mats front and rear, a 20hp tune, and possibly a few other things I'm forgetting. The AC blows cold and the heated seats and heater get hot. Everything on the car works, and it has a clear Texas title in my hand. The previous owner runs a small reputable shop that specializes TDI maintenance and repair(that was recommended to me for TDI service before I even knew he was selling his car); this was his personal daily driver; he chose to build up a SportWagen to replace this car for a growing family... I will be happy to pass on his contact info to any interested buyers.(He is a a TDI Club Member/vendor: UserID "jetta ,97” (Marin Mihaljcic) http://forums.tdiclub.com/member.php?u=87519 )
Replaced @ 150k mi:
DSG Flywheel
DSG Fluid and filter
EGR Cooler
Replaced @ 166,500 mi:
Timing belt & water pump
Camshaft and lifters
Drive belt tensioner
Alternator pulley
Headliner(new from dealer!)
Fuel, air, and cabin air filters.
Also has fresh tires, with the transferable extended warranty certificates from Discount tire.
The car has just a hair over 181,xxx on it now, and I have changed the oil more often than the recommended 10k interval(closer to ever 7k), and only used the OE recommended oil directly from the dealership, and Mann oil filters(I have a few extra I will give you, I ordered them in bulk since I was planning on keeping the car).
I'm asking $6900 will consider REASONABLE offers, and may consider trades. $6900 is less than I have in it; and I know that's not cheap, but if you've researched the importance and cost associated with a dsg flywheel, cams, headliner, or any of those problem points on theses cars you know how quickly a $4000 car can far surpass my asking price... As far as trades go, I will consider up-down-across for: all eras of motorcycles, pre-72 cars/trucks, a small boat, vintage neon signs, a nice industrial air compressor, a mid-higher end mountain bike(needs to be a L or XL frame), a car dolly or car trailer, an enclosed trailer, small toy hauler, or....??? I live in Mckinney, TX(75070) which is a Dallas suburb; but I may be be willing to drive it to you or meet you in the middle depending on my schedule, for the right serious buyer. I've put over 14,000 miles on this car in the last 7 months, and would not hesitate to drive it across the country.
