Find of the Day: 1989 Jetta Coupe 1.8t

[See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com]

Sometimes going big isn’t the best course of action. Sometimes it’s better to have a clear vision and execute it effectively, even if that means being reasonable. That’s because sometimes the result turns out to be this 1989 Jetta Coupe.

Being sold by forum user jaysvw in Arizona, you could almost say that this Jetta had just been cleaned up. That conceals the amount of work that really went into this, but cool things are always cooler when they look easy.

With shaved side markers and antenna hole, euro bumpers—Euro OEM out back and Euro aftermarket up front—smoked E-Code headlights, the spoiler from a GLI, and trim sprayed black, this Jetta looks simple and elegant. And with H&R ultra low coilovers and BBS RS 16 inch wheels, the stance is just right, too.

The wheels, though, hide the front brakes from a Corrado G60, while under the hood the 1.8t with a stage 1 tune has been put under the hood. Again, jaysvw hasn’t gone nuts, but that’s okay because he’s given the Jetta more engine without giving it more engine than it can handle.

And for this black and white beauty, he’s asking $8,000. Check out the full listing on the forum.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
