*** SOLD ***



After 12 years of great service I'm putting my 1998 A3 Jetta 5-speed up for sale. I am the original owner, it has always been garaged, I hate a dirty car and always keep it clean. I have done all of my own maintenance, except for the TB's which have been done by a Guru located through this site. I have been a member here for close to 10 years and you can search my posts for the history on this vehicle, due to all of the help Tdi Club members have given me over the years I'm listing it here exclusively for the first week. This car is stock, the only thing I have added is a oil pan heater. The tires are a little over a year old, about 10k miles on them. I have used synthetic oil since joining the club, the first few years I used the only CD oil I could find on the shelf. I usually add Power Service, but lately been using Opti-Lube. The A/C is weak. The oil is due to be changed at 140k, I do 10k intervals, the TB, water pump and vacuum hoses were done at 118k, at 126k the tires were changed along with the gear oil (OEM), and fuel filter. I just changed the air filter yesterday. I'll include 2 oil filters, a 4q jug of M1 TDT an air filter, roof racks (been on the car once) 2 extra steel wheels with snows with 0% left on them and any other things I find that are specific to this car. I have the engine cover, it had to be broken at the top stud. A new hood and front grill were just done, it is rust free. I have the original badges. I'm posting a few pictures, I have more, please PM me for additional shots or to set up an appointment, I can also photo any requests. I'm sure there is more, but that is all I can think of at this time. $4,300.00. Thanks for looking!

Back when fuel spiked I was getting a lot of questions at work at the fuel station etc., so I "went into hiding". I do have stock replacement badges.
