FS: 2004, Jetta, Wagon, BEW/PD, 5 SPD (Connecticut)

I bought it brand new, have been the only driver of this vehicle, and it has never been crashed, flooded, or smoked-in. I'm getting out of VW, and diesel.

Just installed Bosal hitch. Towed once just to test it.

No rust or rot but there are two small stone chips. One on the edge of the hood and one at the trailing edge of the left/rear wheel well. There are also a couple small dents from a crazy ex-wife incident.

Everything works. No electrical nightmares. VW changed the transmission some time ago under warranty due to a reverse gear issue. The glow plug and sunroof drain recall have been done.

I will not part out, accept low-ball offers, or ship. Have receipts for all.

Nice!!!! Wish you were closer....my guess is that your mailbox will be full with pms soon....

Ooh, another Indigo Blue Wagon. Sorry to see you move on to BMW, but good luck with the sale.

I'm not curbstoning; The skeivey industrial background is my work. I show-up late so I don't get very good parking spots.

I'm not interested in or ready to sell it this week. Honestly this car has been well cared for and deserves to go to someone who will be willing to give it the proper care and maintenance it needs to stay that way for long long time to come. I'd be a shame to send it off to some ignorant bidder and just know that all of this attention went to waste and that it end up in a crusher prematurely but HEY! Now that I think of it like that, once it eats turbo shrapnel one of you guys will probably pick it up for a song and keep a local guru in business! Guess it doesn't really matter after all!

--icipation!!!

Is that Pratt and Whitney where u work?

The title should have been "Feeler", not "for sale".
A lot can happen between now and February.
At least tell me how much I have to save up in the next 6~8 weeks.

No it's not Pratt. I work for a German equipment manufacturer as an Automation Engineer.

I'm not feeling anybody (right now). The car is for sale. Unless you're a dealer or have a wad of cash under you pillow and live next door to me (no such luck) it's going to take at least a few days/weeks to get the new parts into the car, sort out the serious buyers who will need to secure funds, and coordinate transfer of the car especially with the holidays. Just trying to be realistic...

^ without posting price, many people won't take this ad seriously (just saying if you want to sell, post a price) otherwise you risk either getting bombarded with low offers or the other extreme of getting no response due to lack of price being posted

$15k as finished with 17/22.

Good luck with that.

The BMW transition has already happened.

Could not resist--I think my cars are priceless, so I get it... and an Audi habit to fund. So I double get it. Good luck with your sale.

Thanks but I shouldn't need it. The car will sell itself.

I am not committed to the BMW yet so neither the transaction nor the transition has happened yet.

I posted for sale here for lots of reasons and expect to be all-out flamed for my asking price but it's not emotional at all. It's comprised of a median base value taken from NADA and KBB (which vary by a quite a bit) and heaping my receipts on top. I come up with a number that is more than $15k but I want to actually sell the car so this is where I start. The 17/22 is a full $1000 more than the KP-39 so if someone here whats to go that way the the price can be adjusted accordingly but my main motivation for going Garrett over BW is the vane actuator which is a personal sore spot with me (and a lot of others once they actually check the condition of their actuator and find that there is NO replacement to be had).

There was an offer for $7k but I thought to myself; selling at that price I would keep it and drive it till the wheels fall off (which is by far the most rational decision I could possibly arrive at) and I just may end up doing that but I've been bitten by the M3 bug and simply can't shake it. If I keep this car I will continually try to make it an M3 and when I'm done I will have poured $30k in a 4-cyl wagon to make it comparable to what is stock on the BMW (mileage excluded).

Just trying to short circuit the madness and get out sooner than later.

Funny how the posts stopped after the price was posted. Looks like a nice well kept car though. Good luck with the sale!

nice upgrades but unfortunately you only get back a fraction of your investment, unless a particular buyer is specifically looking for what you have.

If I could get $15k for my jetta with 67k miles, I WOULD TAKE IT! =)

Bump. Updated price AND fresh Bosal hitch!

Bump. Now with Fumoto oil drain valve.
