Got my new ride! Happy to be getting rid of this one.
This was a perfectly fine car 3 months ago. That was before it was hit & run (drivers' side fender in the picture), broken into (replaced the window), and attacked by a flock of birds on the highway (took out the emblem, grill, and windshield). In the heat of the chaos, the oil filter seal began to leak out on me thanks to a bad oil change done before I owned the vehicle. So the engine nearly seized, but didn't. I took it to a VW garage and had it 'fixed'. Now the throttle has a serious hesitation in it... Makes the car feel & run pretty badly. You need to give it gas on cold starts, and the throttle will cut in/out at low RPMs.
I don't know what it needs to run properly, and I'm not too concerned. The price reflects the value I've associated with the car. Also, I'd like to sell it as a whole car. I'd prefer not to part anything out
1996 VW Jetta GL
- 260,000km manual transmission
- tan paint, tan interior, black dashboard
- air conditioning
- cd deck
- needs front brakes badly
$1500 obo
PM for contact info. and hey, no test pilots
