WTB: 2000-2003 TDI manual Jetta, Golf or Wagon

['12TDIJetta]

Must haves: clean title, no major accidents. TDI, MT.
ideal: all of above with service records and ideally little to no rust. In my experience once rust gets through a panel, you are in trouble. That said its all case by case.
willing to look past: bad paint, old rotors and pads, sagging headliner, minor interior & exterior cosmetic issues, minor mechanical work needed.
The main thing for me is that engine and transmission are sound. Cosmetically, I'm not as concerned.

The car is for me. My hope is to find a reliable daily. Not interested in project cars that need extensive engine or mechanical work that would require thousands of dollars in repairs.

On facebook, there is a wagon up in Montana which could use a massive amount of work.
Imagine how proud you would be (of yourself) once you got it completed?????

You could come up this way and hit Mt. Rushmore......Crazy hooose......and the wonderful (puke) Sturgis rally. Juss think,

i have an 02 jetta that fits your needs but title says rebuild. when i bought the car, the title received wasn’t rebuilt but when i sent off for a dmv title (couldn’t find it for some reason), it came as rebuilt. i was confused.
5 speed with custom shift knob. deleted egr but engine light pops up every now and then. have vagcom cable. deleted cat and muffler (turbo spool sounds good). air shocks on rear. glass headlights. engine runs great and starts up on first crank every time. has skid plate. comes with extra filters, brake pads, lower control bushings and more.
i’ll let everything go for 1500.00 but that’s negotiable.
you can read my adventures with this car if ya search my name.
also comes with an ultraguage .

If my WTB says clean title, how does your Jetta fit that need?

sorry for pissing on your parade fella!

well you should put your buying price out there. a car with your needs is borderline into unicorn land unless you do not count a project car as one with a lot of miles. IMO all cars over 8 years old with over 150 to 200k miles plus are project cars. reliable yes, but still a project car.
a few have been posted lately and some have sold, under 100k mint but price is in the 10,000 to 12,000 range.
you can do much better with that $ imo. so either have a "project car" or find a middle ground!
im sure what i just said is worthless to you but at least use it for thought fuel!

Thank you for your reply! It makes me realize that in trying to be brief, I was leaving out some needed detail in my OP. I never considered that a clean title with bad paint and a sagging headliner would be a unicorn, but I probably needed to outline a bit more what I meant by wanting to avoid a project car. I don't look at a project car nearly the same way you do. To me its a car that needs a new tranny, or a new motor etc. Big, expensive jobs. So its helpful to see someone else's viewpoint.

This car is something along the lines that I am looking for, but I don't need a car that is nearly this nice cosmetically. I'll just patiently look around and watch the prices continue to drift down across the industry.

I'm always on the lookout for another MKIV, but these days finding one in good condition is getting more and more difficult as they age. I was going to make an offer on that one in Bakersfield, but the 6 speed was a flag for me. Axles are NLA for that transmission, at least on this continent. And the OP said it sold for asking price on CL in 10 minutes.

So longer story short, what you're looking for is kind of a Unicorn, surprisingly.

IBW- do you recall the details of that one in Bakersfield? I am considering selling and could use some help on pricing for a good condition, low mileage, 02M. Mine hasn’t been run in over a decade. Lol
