up for sale is my daily driver. 1995 Volkswagen Jetta GLX VR6.
car is red with black leather interior. fully loaded.
-5-speed
-PS
-PB (4 wheel disc)
-Power mirrors
-power locks
-power windows
-power sunroof
-heated front seats
-clock in dash has other functions, such as fuel mileage, trip time, outside temp, oil temp etc.
-A/C blows cold, and heater blows hot as hell. you literally can’t turn the heat up past halfway, even in the dead of winter, or the car turns into a literal sauna in minutes.
288,XXX on chassis and motor but still runs strong, no problems with drivetrain at all. body has 4 small spots of surface rust. only holes are around gas filler, behind gas door (not visible when door is closed). underbody is in excellent condition. could use a paint job. just like every other red Mk3 VW, the sun has taken it’s toll. the front half of the car is faded when compared to the back half. it’s nothing major and usually isn’t noticeable unless pointed out in the right lighting conditions. one small dent on driver’s side fender, no crease, should come out easily with a slide-hammer (which i’ve been trying to get my hands on since i got the car). maybe 2 other small dings on the rest of the car. car is on 15" steelies. car came with hubcaps but they were stolen off the car at the dealer the day i went to pick it up.
interior is in great condition. all black from the bottom of the pillars down. pillars and headliner are light gray. front seats manufactured by Recaro and have GREAT bolstering. driver’s seat has wear on outer bolster, passenger has a bit in same spot but not as much as driver’s. plastic piece covering steering column has one broken clip and hangs open a bit. wear on leather rim of steering wheel, and leather is peeling on shift knob.
new parts since purchase:
clutch assembly
clutch slave and master
brakes all around, including new calipers in the back (car is 4-wheel disc)
front tires
entire front coolant hose assembly
driver’s side tie-rod
dash lights
alternator and belts
the bad:
-previousley mentioned holes around gas filler. not visible when door is closed and should be an easy fix.
-HVAC lights don’t work
-driver’s side rear power window motor is blown
-lock cylinder in passenger door is broken.
-lock “nubs” (things you pull up to unlock doors) on both rear doors have broken off. power locks remedy this (all doors unlock when you put key in driver door and turn twice) but passenger rear door doesn’t unlock first try every time.
-e-brake cable is broken. might get this fixed before i sell the car.
-wiper stalk on steering column broke off. wipers now only work in one speed and the fluid pump is constantly running when wipers are on, meaning you can’t keep any wiper fluid in the reservoir (as it will all empty the first time it rains, and will impediment your sight as much as rain would anyways). car will probably need new wiper fluid pump, although it sounds like this one is still working.
-could use new shifter bushings. car shifts and drives fine but you have to be deliberate about which gear you are putting it in, as the shifter itself is a bit rubbery.
car has served me well for a year and a half now. hate to see it go but i want to pick up something cheap for the winter and buy a 240 in the next few months.
asking $3000 obo. can get car safetied and e-tested for a bit more (as i will need to fix the wipers and e-brake for it to pass cert), car passed e-test with flying colors last time it was tested.
will include Pioneer headunit, 2x10" Rockford Fosgate Punch subs in box, and JBL amp for extra. if not included, car is fully wired up for an in-trunk sound-system.
car is located in Caledon Ontario but i am in Brampton and Mississauga area 90% of my time these days. it is my daily so i am always driving it and can meet anywhere in that area to show.
