CAR IS SOLD

It's a sad day, but it's time to retire old Bessie. Not because she's old or not a great car... but I'm looking for something more efficient and have purchased a Tesla, so ole' Bessie needs a new home.

I will get some updated pictures as soon as the weather improves. She's a little dirty right now due to her being my daily driver (having served me well for ~255,000 miles and still going strong!)

http://communityhosting.net/Jetta/

That is a link to my vehicle, but she's been updated quite a bit. From the list at the link, some of the notable changes/updates are:

1. 6-Speed Eurospec DRW transmission has replaced the stock 5 Speed. So much awesome in this transmission.
2. Front lip has been replaced by a GLI lip.
3. Gauges have been replaced from frogeye to A-Pillar type and swapped out for dual gauge EGT/Boost and Oil PSI/Temp New South gauges with matching blue lighting. However, the EGT probe is currently burned out and needs to be replaced. A fairly simple process, I just haven't done it and don't intend to.
4. Center console replaced with 04+, so now you have a REAL set of cupholders (in addition to the slide out ones)
5. Alphasonik Amp replaced with Infinity Amp
6. I still have the Sportmax wheels listed and they will come with the car, but the car also has a set of Enkei Falcon 17x7 wheels, so you'll get two sets of wheels.
7. The Autotech rotors have since worn and have been replaced with other rotors, but I forget the brand.
8. Old Navy CCV has been replaced by a DD42 Catch-Can.
9. OEM HIDs have been replaced by brand new HID setup with LED accents. OEM HIDs will be included with the car as well
10. Front seats have been replaced with the totally awesome VW Eurospec Rearo seats.
11. Super heavy duty, high volume 11mm Fuel pump!
12. In-tank PD lift pump added for better fuel delivery on cold starts and fast throttle response.
13. New springs all around about 40k miles ago
14. SMIC replaced with much larger FMIC
15. Brand new Windshield

I think that's all the major changes from what's listed. I will update the post if there is anything else I come across. Car will also come with new leather for the rear seats that just needs to be installed. The rear leather that's there now is in decent shape and nothing is wrong with it, it just came with the front seats but I never installed it.

For an additional $300 I will include a hardwired Passport Max with Escort LIVE cord. For an additional $300 on top of that, I will include a full HD front and rear dashcam system. Otherwise I will remove both items prior to turning over the car.

The car works perfectly. I use it as a daily driver. It has about 255,000 miles on it, give or take a thousand. I am meticulous about maintenance and keeping my cars in top shape. Front bumper paint could use some touch ups, but what do you expect at this mileage? Windshield was just replaced about 5000 miles ago (had a big chip in it).

I will also include all of my maintenance material (Oil, filters galore, injector cleaner, all manner of fluids, etc...)

Timing belt is due in about 45k miles, so you have lots of time on that and it's synchronized with 100k increments.

This car is pretty much one of a kind. It pushes around 180 bhp and just under 300 lb/ft last time I had it on the dyno. It tops out around ~140 mph, but would probably creep up a little faster if given enough room. Car is smooth and feels great even at 140 mph. Body is nice and stiff, so behaves like it's on rails going around corners and sticks to the road on bumps.

I will be happy to answer any questions. Lots of pictures at the link (http://communityhosting.net/Jetta/) but if anyone wants something specific, let me know and I can grab a quick shot.

Car is located in Kansas City. I'm not really even sure how to value this, as I've got probably $30,000 or more in mods + the base price of the car. I know I won't get anywhere near that, so lets say $8,500 for the car + all the extras (except Radar and Dashcam). I will ship the vehicle in CONUS at your expense if provided with certified funds. You could probably still part out this vehicle for more than $10,000 today if someone wanted to spend the time.

Just put brand new tires on it as of 15 Feb 2015.

Does the 6 speed transmission also have an LSD? How many miles do the engine mods (pump, turbo, nozzles) have on them?

Yes, the 6 speed has a Peloquin TBD (LSD) installed.

I'm just guessing on the mileage on the other parts, but I'd say around 100,000 miles on the injectors (but they are cleaned regularly). Turbo is probably around the same and the pump is probably 80k miles, maybe a bit less.

I care for everything on my vehicles quite meticulously. If anything even has a hint of going wrong, I typically replace it (consequently, which is why I have a garage full of parts that I need to get rid of!)

Could you also shoot me a PM with current pricing without the Passport / Escort? And also your phone number? Might have a local buyer for my car so I'll have an open spot on my pad. Thanks. :)

If you have not sold your car please call me, PM me, email me (nick@stereointegrity.com), etc. I am genuinely serious about purchasing your car.

Car is sitting in front of my house right now. Transport company was great to deal with and so was the owner of the car (Nitrowolf). Everything was described very well and I'm happy to own the car. :)

Shame it was sold before I go a look at it. I would have liked to drive one with that much HP.

FYI: I purchased this car and I absolutely love it. Everything that Josh did to the car is/was something that I wished to do on my '03 silver Jetta TDI. Seats are awesome, transmission is epic, wheels and stance looks very very good in person, and I'm on track to get 50 mpg out of this tank. The OP was great with communication and a pleasure to deal with. I would purchase another car from him without hesitation. Thanks again Josh. :D

PS: I gave the car a little facelift with a honeycomb grille and lower inserts and different Euro vanity plate up front.

With your upgrade, flip the car for additional $1k over your buying price.

Nice score. Wish I had the 6spd in my cars.

You need to start your own thread elsewhere. This is a for sale forum and we know it was sold. Spare us the pain as many wanted it.

I doubt that. I paid full price for the car.

The 6 spd is awesome. I rarely use 6'th gear but when I remember that it has a 6'th gear it's really neat to throw it into the gear and watch the RPM's drop. :)

You need to not be an a$$ hole.

Way to be a d!ck. I was posting about my buying experience and then you came along captain negativity. :rolleyes: I suppose hind-sight I'm happy that my post is causing you "pain" because you were such an arse in your reply. Many people wanted it but few were willing to pay for it. I wired the seller a deposit within 24 hours of seeing the classifieds ad. I wired the seller the remainder of the balance less than one week after my deposit.

Again not boasting but only extolling the virtues of the seller. He presented the car perfectly. Nothing was a surprise when the car rolled off the trailer in my neighborhood.
