91 Jetta TD - Wolfy, some questions



Friend of mine just got a new VW
1991 Jetta Wolfsburg, Turbo Diesel

He was wondering if the power locks (all functional!, including truck and
gas cap), the tilt steering, upgraded seats with what seems like a
reinforced lumbar support, and improved illumination (over a Golf of the
same age), and 13" aluminum alloys were all part of the Wolfy package, or if
he has a higher level Jetta or some option package.

The big deal is the engine. Today was -10°C with the wind, and like 5-10
seconds for the glow, and it started with barely a flinch of the key......
270+K Kms on it, but engine work has been done. The thing only puffs faint
whisps of smoke on gear changes, and he floored it and it wasn't too bad at
all for black smoke. Has plenty of pickup to it as well.... My TDI was of
course keeping up no sweat, but I was impressed by how well it moved. He
drove it "normally" and I didn't feel like honking and swerving aggressively
to go around, I was perfectly content.

He also wanted to know if $2500 CND was a good price, this included cert (it
is certified, but still needs some of the minor things like new mirror
lenses and a new door handle... the guy just passed it, and is fixing all
this for him for free, but he wants the car on the road... BTW he is buying
off a VW/Audi mechanic), E-test (passed), he put on 4 new tires, a rebuilt
alternator (to fix the tachometer not working), fixed the trunk lock and gas
tank lock, fixed an exhaust leak right off the exhaust manifold, and he will
fix all the small things when he has more time.... The only thing wrong
really is that the sidemarkers don't work anymore.
