1990 Vw Jetta GL DIESEL

198000 miles
5 speed
1.6 liter NON TURBO diesel ENGINE - ( NOT TDI )
Red body - gray interior
NO Sunroof model
Manual windows
14" tires that are not great but they are OK.

Body:

Im sure there is some rust some where but i dont see it as you can see in the pictures the panels are rust free - even the rear apron where they tend to rust - im sure there might be some on the undercarriage but this car is NOT rusty.
There is a dent in passenger fender - see picture - missing the trim piece as well
Dent in hood - one above driver headlight - smaller one closer to passenger headlight on the edge ( hard to see it in the pictures)
Dent in rear quarter panel driver side - again hard to see in the pics - but its there.
Paint on the top of the driver fender is " peeling " so that probably means it was repainted at some time.
Dent in lower valance by driver front tire - see pic..
Passenger side view mirror has ROUND mirror in place of factory square mirror
Both rear door handles do NOT work from outside
Driver door handle is weak and about to break as well.
But all the door open and lock manually
Windshield is good no big cracks or anything that stands out
Rear passenger tail light has a spider web crack in the center
I did just go back out to look at the windshield and noticed driver side lower part of windshield has a few small bubbles or rust - very very minor but it is there like on most older Mk2's
Missing the passenger side rear wheel center cap - this wheel also has a curb shot on it -

Engine / Mechanical :

Wanted to say first - that i do not know any history of this car - timing belt looks ok but no record of it being replaced.

Fires right up on first try. Sounds like a diesel.. First thing i notice is the glow plug light is always on - not sure what that means but it starts up everytime, i always wait a minute before starting it after turning key to accessory position.
Injection pump is what i believe they call a " high altitude " injection pump - similar to the older turbo pumps - it looks dry around fittings.
Battery looks new. Engine bay is pretty clean and doesnt looks like anything obvious is missing. AC does NOT work - all components are there maybe it needs charged up? Maybe it needs more? The Oil Dip Stick is held on with a bent up close hanger to hold it down , the only oil deposits i see are where the dip stick tube goes into the block there is alot of oil around the base of the dip stick tube.

Overall - get in and go - 70 MPH no problem.

Interior:

Dash has crack right down the middle. Missing both interior door mirror caps ( oh yes the passenger door mirror has some sort of round aftermarket in place of the factory glass ) Shift boot is tore up pretty bad. There is a TAPE player in the dash - but it does not work - does not even power up - i am going to check fuse and will update details if i get it to work. Seats are in great shape , as with the door panels. Missing passenger side sun visor. This is a NON-SUNROOF car so the headliner is all there and in decent shape as well. carpet is dirty and has stains but no big holes - its also missing the inner driver side front lower carpet trim piece that goes between the door and the carpet.
