I am offering my clean 2009 Jetta TDi which is approaching 97k miles. I am asking $12,500 for a club member. I bought this a year ago and it looks and drives almost like new, my average is 38 [OK 37.98] mpg commuting. [the original owner made me swear and] I have continued to maintain it with the right oil and changed the fuel filter regularly. The car has heated seats, satellite radio and no sunroof. The only things I have done are to add the Factory Nav unit and OEM 17" alloys. The 16 inch stock alloys are available (included for $12,500) for snow tires or whatever, and I am willing to replace the original stereo and wheels and drop the price to $12k. This engine has a 120k TB change interval BTW.
The car is not perfect, although the interior is almost flawless and the exterior has normal wear for a 2009 [pictures follow]; it has a perfect carfax no accidents or problems.
Why sell the perfect car? At risk of providing TMI, the car is just slightly too small for me, I have arthritis in my neck and it is painful to get in and out of. I have been taking my tape measure to check out other cars and the Jetta has only about 29" from the seat to the top of the door opening, and my body needs at least 30 apparently.
