1996 Jetta GLS, 2.0, 5-speed
Name: Aaron
Location: Powhatan
Means of contact: PM or text/call 804-516-four five one zero
Price: $1000 OBO
Description:
1996 Jetta GLS, 2.0, 5 speed, crank windows, sunroof, Trek seats front/rear, 180K+ miles, black with pearlescent flake. Not the hideous chameleon paint...a very subtle green to maroon flake change in different light. Currently on 15" Antera 3 spokes...90's retro style...haha. Newer aftermarket stereo, and car has been wired for an amp..no amp included. All windows crank up and down smooth and I dont see any rust in the common areas. New battery. Car has good bones and is actually pretty clean/straight. I have some freshly refinished and painted OEM 14" Ronal/VW R8 wheels that I could throw in for a little extra if you dont like the 3 spokes.
The bad:
-Sunroof is stuck...might be motor or cables. Can manually crank it almost closed. Previously had a heavy mil vinyl on the roof and it sealed.
-slight miss on cold startup...goes away once warm. Coil maybe? FIXED 8/22...bad coil wire.
I bought it with the intention of fixing it up and just enjoying it...but with two little boys, third child on the way, and a sick wife from said pregnancy; this idea is DONE.
Asking $1000 w/o the extra set of wheels...but as always we can negotiate.

Bump...when fixing the shifter, i disconnected the battery to work on the car. Now with the battery hooked back up, the alarm is going crazy. Could be the ignition switch as they tend to go back and do funny things. I have a new replacement switch but not installed. I just don't have time to fool with it any longer. With that said...
EDIT: Alarm and no start issue FIXED. Running and shifting like a champ now.
