I really hate to do it, but due to a forthcoming addition to the family and the prospect of even
less free time, I am selling my current daily
driver and my project truck.
The first one I'm parting with is my 1985 Jetta GL Turbo Diesel.
It's a very strong car in very good condition with only 176K on the odometer, especially considering it's age. There is no body rust that I have found, but the paint is a little faded. I bought it from the previous and original owner last fall. They loved driving it but didn't like the clutch in DC traffic, so they went with a domestic automatic to replace this
car.
I drive it back and forth to Baltimore every day on the Interstate and consistenly get 40-43 MPG...and I don't drive in the slow lane. It has very good acceleration and passing capability. Don't let the word Diesel fool you, this thing is not slow!!!
It's been well treated during its life and is looking for a new and happy home.
It has new belts, and the timing belt can be changed before you pick it up at your request. It also has new rear shocks. I just hanven't had a chance to do the fronts yet, but they're not gone either. The front seats have also been replaced with height adjustable and more comfortable Scirocco front buckets (grey).
The tires are very new with less than 5K on them. There is no interior or trunk rust on the car. The tachometer (factory) and odometer work fine. There is even an oil pressure gauge mounted in the dash to monitor that ever-important oil pressure. (If you don't think it's important, ask me how I know). It uses less than a quart of oil between changes, but that is rather normal for these cars.
I'm looking for About $2500 obo for it. If you think my price is too high, make me an offer, I love to haggle!!!! It's available for test drives and passed the hellish Maryland State Inspection late last year with flying colors.
Here's some pictures of the car.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Make me an offer!!!
The next one I am selling is my '81 Caddy Diesel that I had a 1.6 TD in before a catestrophic rod failure led to the introduction of a port hole into the engine.
The truck is in pretty good shape with some dings and dents here and there, but overall in decent shape. Definitely a good foundation for your project. And for the price, you can't beat it. It has a killer spray-in bedliner that will take any abuse you throw at it!!
I'm looking to get $750 (obo) for it, but for that you get:
- '81 Caddy shell
- RUST FREE floor pans from a Cabby ready to be used to replace any of your MK1 floor pans (or just replace the aging ones on this truck).
- Some extra MK1 parts, (a couple of axles, seats, etc.)
Here's some pics of it during its hay-day. The only difference now is it's in the garage and has no engine in it:

The snowflakes are currently on my MK2 Jetta TD so the Caddy will be sold with a set of stock steelies with good rubber.
