1985 Jetta Diesel - Central PA

Runs great, clean in and out. Inspected until 9-2011. Needs nothing, ready to drive. Even the A/C works! Many new parts, including the timing belt. Tires are good too. I get 42-45MPG driving a mix of city/highway. It will pull 50MPG if you are careful and keep to the highway. Very reliable and economical transportation.

Asking $1,700. PM or call 717-443-0329. Car is located in the Lebanon area.

SOLD!!!

Interesting paint on the grille, B pillar trim, bumpers, and rub strips. Really changes the look of the car.

FWIW this car does not have its original interior (Which would have been solid blue judging by the dashboard and base trim indicated by the trunk badging), but instead has the nicer height adjustable seats from a late 89+ GL trim car... a pleasant upgrade. Also looks to have the upgraded alternator pulley.

Good luck with the sale!

I had an '85 diesel golf.

You will get 45mpg all day. It's not a speed demon but it's not all that bad either.

Goodluck.

EDIT

Those pics make me miss my ole golf cart. I was too tall for that car tho.

That thing is vintage; didn't anyone drive it? Very nice for it's age.
By now It should have rusted away and reincarnated into tin cans from Japan.

VWs rustproofing worked better then Mercedes did! But that's a discussion for another thread

Thanks all. Yep, looks like a previous owner had some fun painting it and putting the upgraded seats in there. It is very solid, only minor rust from the paint chipped areas. I was going to do the bodywork and repaint it in the spring but I got my layoff notice last week so I need to sell off the extra cars.

It has about 240k on it now. Lots of new parts though... timing belt 10k miles ago, head redone 50k miles ago, new exhaust, new shocks/struts/springs and mounts, replaced trans with low mileage unit, IP timing and valve clearance, fuel filter, etc...

Real good runner and could be a great looker with just a little bit of work. Unfortunately I have to sell it to build up the savings account!

Nice car- I stepped out of one like it this morning ( but a '91). I'll bet the wing on the rear really helps it perform better than mine

LOL, that wing sure was ugly, a bit embarrassing actually! I suppose it at least served a purpose of a 3rd brake light. If I was going to keep it I would have found another boot for it.
