It's really FS this time: 2005.5 pack 2 man. tran

[lildevildee]

I thought we'd be able to swing keeping our TDI but it's just not in the finances And, that third carseat is just too big!

Here it is, again, in a new thread.
2005.5 New Jetta package 2 TDI
5-spd manual transmission
<21,000 miles
Reflex Silver with gray leather interior
$24,900

Extras include: H&R Lowering springs and stock springs, clear tail lights and stock tail lights, and spoiler. All extras were bought at my local VW dealer and I have receipts.

StElmo and I have done all maintenance ourselves. All maintenance items were bought at the local VW dealer. I have receipts. Castrol TXT 505.01 oil is the only oil I have used in my car.

Broken in per drivbiwire's break-in procedure.

That's a nice lookin' car. Too bad you can't hang on to it. Hopefully in the future you can find one just as nice or better. There are certain to be more choices anyways!

Good luck

 

[Keli_OR]

Sad to hear it Deisha!

I know how much you love that car.........

[lildevildee]

Thanks Keli and Tom. It's okay; I told my husband that I'm moving on to boats. I don't have carseat restrictions in them

2005.5 Package2

Nice car, Could we have some more photos (inside too). Also a VIN#
Can't see a sunroof.

 

[whitedog]

165 MPH, corners like it's on rails, 79.9 MPG average, And ... uh....

Hold on... glasses fell off my nose... Hmmm my nose wasn't this big before...

OK, maybe I exaggerated a tiny bit. 79.8 MPG.

Can't see a sunroof.

If I had the ability to upload a small video sometime before, oh say, next year, I'd show you how I can even close the sunroof using just the remote (and I'm not talking about using the key in the door.)

PM me for VIN. I'll get some more pics up later this week / weekend of the interior.

 

[Zedbra]

Good luck with the sale, that's a nice looking car. May I ask how well the fogs work, and do they crack easy form salt/rocks in our Northwest winters? I'm looking at doing this addition to our Jetta, as well.

 

[lildevildee]

We don't do salt here So far, I haven't had any issues with the fogs; they haven't cracked yet and I don't expect them to. I now need to knock on wood....

I tried to, but she would let me! Then she decided she was going to have a baby.....

Sorry to hear you are selling. Good luck with the sale and I hope you get a buyer that loves it as much as you and St. do.

 

[pls5160]

OK, I give. How do you open/close the sunroof with the remote not using the door. I am usually pretty good at these things but not this time.

 

[lildevildee]

Change the long coding. You can roll the windows up and close the sunroof by holding the lock button down on the remote. Roll the windows down by holding the unlock button. There's some threads on it in the A5 forum. Def. a nice little mod!

 

[pls5160]

I wish VW would program the remotes like that from factory. Reprograming that stuff makes me nervous.
I could do that window/sunroof trick with my 2000 E55 from the day I brought it home. Must admit that I forget about it most of the time however. Guess I don't drive it as must as I should. Too afraid of tickets!

 

[lildevildee]

I will get some better / more shots this weekend. I've got a semi-local guy coming over to give it one heck of a detailing on Friday. He usually does the show BMWs for the local chapter so I thought I'd give him a ring. He's shortening his time by a day; he said he should be done in 8-12 hours. I can't wait to see my baby after he's done; clay bars the entire car, polishes & waxes it, etc. It should be quite nice when he's done

 

[BleachedBora]

I'm trying to think of something cute to say--but words fail me right now...
Wish I could have helped... She'll be beautiful!

 

[lildevildee]

Here's a link to all the pics. Some of the pics were taken before it was detailed today. http://s101.photobucket.com/albums/m63/lildevildee/Jetta/

Excuse me while I pick up my jaw from the floor... First Heinz now you... what's this world coming to

 

[lildevildee]

what's this world coming to

Gasser minivans.

It's okay though. We'll be back one day. And I'm not leaving tdiclub.

Is there anyone from the club that would be interested in this car if the price was dropped again? If so, by how much?

 

[lildevildee]

bump.

 

[lildevildee]

How low do I have to go? I know 27k is on the high side for club members so how low before someone would be interested in it?

 

[Thermo1223]

$23,900 according to NADA that is what the car is worth not your inflated price.

They are usually better then KBB too.

For all the extra stuff you did. Maybe $24,500

Sorry

 

[lildevildee]

Don't be sorry. This is what I wanted. NADA hasn't been available until now; every time I tried to use them, it would give me nothing for a price.

Yes, I'm inflated. I blame that on negative equity which means I blame myself

It's getting listed in a couple weeks on Autotrader after we get our bonus and can pay it down enough to get rid of it unless someone here makes an offer that works out.

[danix]

NADA, Kbb, these all mean nothing. They are averages, that's it.
If you ask Harv for the average selling price of cars comparable to yours, I bet your price is fair. As we know, it's all supply and demand, and unfortunately for you, demand is soft(er) right now.

 

[tomo366]

Put it on Craigs list in California it will sell for your price....

 

[lildevildee]

I have it on the Bay area page and I've not had a single question on it yet. Looks like it's going to Autotrader soon.

 

[Thermo1223]

I hate to say it but E-bay?

 

[lildevildee]

I really would love to see this car go to a club member so I lowered the price to $25,200. I'm listing it Nov. 6 on Autotrader for $26,500 or so (less than the two current competition cars on Autotrader.)

 

[tomo366]

I feel your pain...... I went through the same situation with my ex-Passat TDI on this site for nearly 3 months......The car had nearly 5000in upgrades installed and all I got here was lowballer and tirekicking and ugly comments!! The car sold on Autotrader.......The new owner consequently joined here though....
Good Luck in your sale although I highly doubt you will sell it here

 

[JJTDI]

You'd probably be better off stripping the mods, and putting it back to stock. Most often, they don't increase the value of the car, so you'd might as well sell the parts to recover some of the money you've spent.
Of course it takes a lot of work - and its always more fun to put 'em on than take 'em off.
