This car gets 50mpg on the highway and 40mpg in the city while
being larger, more comfortable, more powerful and fun to drive than a
hybrid. It is very reliable. In the last 10,000 miles it has had the
timing belt replaced, a new windshield (OEM glass) and tires (Michelin
MVX4+ Energy Plus), and all other routine service (mostly from
Golf/Jetta service on Roosevelt). The car includes a Thule roof rack,
Bentley and Haynes service manuals, and a spare fuel filter.
It is dark metallic green with a beige interior and a power
sunroof. There is a Kenwood CD player installed and the original
stock radio/tape deck is included too. There are monster matts
(rubber floor matts) that are in good condition front and rear. The
interior is very clean and shows little wear. 3 remotes (2 are almost
brand new) and 2 keys are included.
It runs great on regular diesel or biodiesel. Biodiesel is made
from vegetable oil, is currently available in Ballard and Bellevue,
burns cleaner, is great for the engine, and contains no petroleum
products.
I'm selling because I found a nice VW Golf TDI and wanted a
hatchback. I love TDIs (my wife also has one) and would drive nothing
else available on the market today.
Specifics:
- Dark Metallic Green exterior
- Beige cloth interior
- 5sp manual transmission
- Sunroof
- About 95,000 miles
- Kenwood CD player (or original tape deck if you prefer that)

Recent service:
- Timing belt replaced at 85,000 miles (along with all other major service
work such as fuel filter change, oil change, etc).
- New tires installed at 90,000 miles (Michelin MVX4 Plus).
- Last oil change was 250 miles ago (at 95,000 miles). I've always used
have used Mobil Delvac 1 sythentic oil.
- Upsolute chip upgrade at 88,000 miles (I have the original chip and
can put it back if desired). This increased the engine output to about
115hp and 190ft lbs of torque.
- Transmission fluid changed around 88,000 miles (replaced with Redline MTL)
- Windshield replaced at about 91,000 miles (the replacement is OEM
glass).
Known defects:
- There is a dent in the trunk, just above the rear bumper.

I'd like to get $7500 or best offer. Email alex@phred.org if you have
more questions or would like to see the car in person. I'm located in
Seattle near the University of Washington.
