2003 Silver Jetta GLS ALH, 162K miles, great shape in West Michigan, $6500
Sold!!!
No longer a feeler: I've decided to sell my '03 Jetta ALH. I've had it since about March of 2015. Traded my 335d to a dealer for it. The Jetta had 96K on it when I bought it. Liberty Ford paid me waaaay too much for my 335d so I couldn't pass it up nor could I make it out of the subdivision in Grand Rapids when it snowed with the d. In hindsight, I should have kept it, but anyhoo...
The Jetta had the 01M, donated that to the scrap heap. I had local TDI guru RS90Kirk do full maintenance on it at the time (and he as taken care of it since then).
Kirk did not do the upgrades, but has kept it running since.
Asking price: $6500. No trades, I have all of the guns that I need. Thanks!

The good:
1.) 02M 6-spd with new vw syncos, fluid changed 2x since installed only because the o-ring was leaking.
2.) SB endurance stage 3 clutch relined by SB to hold 450tq
3.) GTB1756vk converted to vacuum actuator from RyanP
4.) EGR/Cooler delete, race pipe installed
5.) Large SMIC with custom Whitbread piping top and bottom.
6.) Bosio Race520's balanced and pop-tested
7.) Malone Stage 5 custom tunes (smoky and non-smoky), I also have the Flashzilla loader.
8.) PD Lift pump
9.) TB done at 98K, good for another 35K+ miles.
10.) Newer (about 4-5K miles on them) Michelin Defender tires
11.) Mahle Platinum brakes/rotors w/ about 70% life left.
11.) Koni Orange shocks/struts all the way around at 100K.
12.) Rebuilt alternator a few weeks ago.
13.) Both A/C fans work, as does the A/C, new coil installed last year.
14.) Cloth interior, no rips or tears, not new, but not bad, either.
15.) Panzer skid plate and side skirts (best way to look for oil leaks which it doesn't have).
16.) New glow plugs last winter.
17.) New Interstate battery about a month ago when the alternator was rebuilt.
18.) Alignment done each spring at local Firestone dealer.
19.) Other sensors and such replaced as needed.
20.) All systems work fine, power everything works as they should.
21.) Estimated to put down around 200hp/370tq (never been dyno'd).
22.) Buzzken 2-1/2" cat-back exhaust with resonator and turn-down before bumper
23.) Whitbread downpipe off the turbo (attached to a Passat manifold).
24.) All parts for turbo and transmission (except for clutch and syncros) came from RyanP at Darkside Developments.
25.) All non-routine work was done by Matt Whitbread.
26.) Mud flaps all the way around.
27.) Monsoon stock stereo, power locks/windows, moonroof, all work without issue.
28.) Wavetrack LSD, too... great in the snow with the O2M
Everything works flawlessly, nothing looks modded from the outside, which is what I wanted. Old man sleeper... I routinely get over 48mpg hwy, and in mixed driving, I easily get over 45mpg.
Recently had some rust repaired on both front fenders. They were tackled before they needed replacing. There are a couple of small stone chips on the hood that need to be fixed (about 5-6 mm across).
I can't think of anything else. It seems the prices are all over the place, but I don't need to sell it, but now would be the time to sell it since it looks better than the day I bought it.
I'll try to add some pics later when I'm home.
Regards,
Mike in Belmont (outside of GR).
Ps: The car will be at Kirk's GTG again this year, if I keep it that long.
