Helping my brother in law sell his diesel jetta. I wish i could take this off his hands but can't fit another car.
He is selling it for the same reason. it is a second car and he just moved, and doesn't have room for it.

The history - It sat at a mechanic's garage for about 10+ years not being driven. It had about 20k on the car when my brother in law got it 2 years ago. (not 120! only 20k original miles on it). He has since gone through the car and had it painted (the sun really faded the original paint), new timing belt, new head gasket, alignment, new AC belt, new seals for the main shaft, new valve gasket, new stereo, new tires, etc..

It is a california car. Located in the Moorpark / Thousand Oaks area of Ventura /North LA county.

No rust.

CLEAN

It currently has 29,000 original miles. Nothing wrong with the car. mechanics of the vehicle are fine. He has already worked out all the bugs from when the car was sitting.

Registered until October.

Claims to get 45 mpg.

5 speed.

Nada guide says $5500.

Asking SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD

This car is the real deal. total low mileage score.

Oh Baby. Aren't many of those around. I, too, wish it was on the East side. Excellent price! Should maybe be in a museum? My 86 coupe is like the wicked witch of the West...from the Wizard Of Oz...."I'm melting". When is Barrett/Jackson coming by to inspect it?

I checked out the car this weekend. I haven't seen it in a month or two so i went and looked at it to refresh my memory.
Just a few things to note:
There are small dings here and there on the body but as you see by the photos, nothing major.
Some of the rubber seals (trunk seal, door seals) are drying out. I wouldn't worry about them leaking, but they are old and don't look new anymore.

Overall, the car is in great shape.

My father-in-law is retired and half jokingly said he would deliver the car, for a fee, and provided you live near a major airport... so maybe the half that wasn't joking can help somebody out!

Please, please...somebody buy this gem so my wife can get some peace and can stop telling me to "grow up". Got a kid who's serious about college? Perfect car. Not a chick or cop magnet.
