Back up! This is NOT A TDI!

Basic Specs:
2000 VW Jetta GLS,
1.8L Turbo Gas Engine,
180,xxx Miles,
Automatic,
Timing Belt, Water Pump and Tensioner replaced at 138k,
etc

Purchased it at 141k last year and used it as my commuter for work.
Out of the thousands of miles I have driven it, it has only given us one problem... and that was a dead battery. (Replaced last September and has a 2 year warranty)

Has the Grey Heated Cloth Seats,
Sunroof,
Power Windows, Power Locks,
"Premium" Radio (Monsoon System) with 6-CD Changer in Trunk,
etc


Oil has been changed every 5-6 thousand miles with Shell Rotella-T 5w40 Synthetic with Wix Filters. (This last Oil change was the first time I have put a Fram on it)

It has been extremely well maintained by myself and the 2 previous owners.
Turbo Replaced at 90k Miles,
Updated Window Regulators,
Timing Belt, Water Pump and Tensioner replaced at 138k,
2 New Coil Packs,
New Coil Pack Overlay Harness (The wires get brittle and crack so I replaced it before it happened.)
Had the A/C Recharged by my mechanic last summer, (EDIT, Fan Control Module took a poop, $40 replacement part.)
etc
(I have receipts for everything done to the car, including an AutoCheck and CarFax Reports.)

It runs GREAT and I wouldnt hesitate to drive it anywhere.

Here are some pictures (Be aware, the CEL is on for the Secondary Air Injection pump... its not a big deal.)




















Sorry for the crappy pics, I'll try and get some that arent off of my cellphone.


Looking for $4000 OBO but would much rather trade.

It says you'll trade for an XJ.
Any interest in a 98 XJ Sport with 144K on the body, 73K on the engine? 99% rust free, PW, PL, A/C, Cruise, etc. 2wd. Just thought I would through it out there. Nice car, if anything free bump

I DD'd it for awhile...just needs 2 more doors if you want it to be more comfy. You also said you want something to go wheeling with, and this thing wheels extremely well.
My friend is only lifted 3" or so on 31's, so it wont be any crazy wheeling.
And I live in an uppity subdivision and just couldnt pull off having that jeep.

If I was looking strictly for something to wheel, I would be all over it. But whatever I trade for will most likely be my DD and needs to be a bit more presentable.


Here is my friends XJ.
