I've done alot with this car and it's been a fun project. Originally Ipurchased for a Suzuki Samurai conversion with the TDI engine. Irecently had it serviced by a TDI specialist but due to a mass air flowmod, (cold air intake) and a weak ground on the coolant sensor, Icouldn't get it passed the California smog inspection which is required on 98 and newer Diesels. These are minor issues but Ican't put anymore money/time in this car and need to just get rid of it. Myloss is your gain. I have clear title. I'm open to keepthe speakers and take $200 off the price. I have too many vehicles now so I must part with this fun, economical grocery getter. I've come to call it my "50 MPG Biodiesel GoKart". AC is freezing cold, probably the best AC I've ever had.

Other items to mention:
Before I purchased it, the left rear side of car rolled back into ashed. I had a local guy repair it the best he could with bondo and matching paint. We replaced the trunk door and rear bumper. As a result, the trunk is held closed by a quick and easy racket tie mechanism behind therear seat. It's easy to gain access to the trunk but you need to releasethe mechanism behind the drivers rear seat and tighten it back to close. It'seasy to do in seconds.

The headliner is missing. I was going to redo but never got around to it.

The seats are original and if you know MKIII Jetta's, you'll know aboutthe seat defect that causes the seat to tilt on the left. This is howthe drivers seat is. I've driven it for years like this but I wasplanning on replacing them.

It starts every time. The mechanic installed a push button start in caseof any issues starting with key. It was serviced by him after the starter had ashort. The starter was replaced and the electronics were reviewed bythe TDI mechanic. I have his receipts as well.
I'm here to get this car in the right hands. If you have any questions, please let me know.
