Blast from the past for my ALH Jetta sedan, but when I had it stock, it would get around 46 or 47 mpg highway at my typical 70-80mph speeds. I went on a pretty long, multi-year crusade to improve engine efficiency and reduce aerodynamic drag. End result was 55-56mpg at the same highway speeds...

I realize my mistake, I was thinking of the GL/GLS distinction for JETTAS, not golfs. My bad!

Nice ride. Just to clarify, are you sure this is a "GLS"? No leather, no steering wheel controls, etc. Maybe I'm uneducated on this, but it looks like a base GL. Maybe should polish up the headlights if youre going to ask $6k for a 15 year old car, haha. :P

Peter, you owe me $250. I guess I'll take store credit (although now I don't have a diesel car anymore... you guys have any tractor parts?). :p Anyway, sold to the first guy to actually show up, check it over, and drive around the block.

Nice to meet you, Brent. Here are some overdue pics of the spare wheelsets that will come with the car. Folks, this is a nice wagon, someone please buy it before I fall in love with it any further. I'm really tempted to grab a malone tune now even though I might sell it. Kinda just want to see...

Thanks for the feedback. Well I tried to fully describe the rust condition. The fenders are only ~5 years old, they WERE replaced under the rust warranty. So they are in perfect condition except for right down at the bottom rear edges, likely due to sitting in contact with the rockers (that...

No offers? I thought this thing would be kinda popular.... hmmm. Been out the TDI game too long I guess. Drove her to work today; so smooth.

Haha, thanks. I can appreciate that. Unfortunately for you, I am in no rush. If I end up daily driving it for a year or so, I'll strongly consider your offer after that! :)

Also wanted to mention: The car does have a recurring P2564 code (turbo vane sensor signal). After diligent researching I am quite certain this is the very common issue of cracked/frayed wiring inside the loom, going to the sensor. The engine runs great and the turbo makes full boost, and is...

Oh no. The thread can't have ended like this! In 2017? eeesh. Zombie bump to hope for some good news.

This has got to be a joke, right Chip? What makes your automatic TDI with a body kit the best one out there?

And, SOLD. Thanks to all for their interest. I am still an idiot for selling it. :p

Thanks for interest everyone, all PMs replied to.

Finally! Whoo-hoo! Get all these competing 03's sold and gone so mine can shine alone. :)
