Used Volkswagen Jetta for Sale near Phoenix, AZ

it was an 1.6td with 70bhp. Not much, but in those years it was pretty much for an 1600cc diesel engine. One of the best cars in the 80' ies It keeps going and going.....

This was my second car. I bought it new right off the show room floor. It was white with a black pinstrip down the side. It was a GLI so it came with the Recaro seats, a little spoiler on the rear deck, and 120 hp. I kept it for seven years, till I traded it in on my 1996 Audi. It was always very reliable and a fun, fast drive. It was pretty roomy and the cloth/velour seats kept their shape till I traded it in. My only complaint was that it did have a nagging starting problem which I later found out was due to an incompetent mechanic at the dealer's (didn't connect the 4th cylinder spark plug wire). I let it go with 114,000 miles, but it had plenty of life left. I kept it stock but the body style did lend itself to after market modifications. I always enjoyed it and probably would have kept it longer had I not seen the A4 at the showroom.

Fine daily driver, reliable but parts need replacing over time and record keeping essential to good maintenance. Rust had held off gamely but now showing at windshield wiper base, bottom of side glass, and just below the plastic body side guards. Typical Jetta weakness of front height ride and bouncy ride totally changed with HP bits. All polyurethane bushings, lowered progressive springs, Bilsteins HD shocks, front and rear sway bars, body brace, 205-50 15" wheels and Toyo Proxes 4 tires. Slotted discs, Hawk pads, K&N, Carat manifold and Corrado exhaust, FlowMaster, TT tuning chip, VW Motorsports steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, Alarm system

Nice winter beater with heated seats, power windows, jacked suspension.

Head gasket was gone on this vdub when I bought if for $400 and 550,000kms on it. Replaced gasket and it ran very well not using a drop of oil between changes. Sold it for $1000 10 months later.
